Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Susan, Not sure I can really answer that specifically. I feed my greyts the BARF diet (biologically appropriate raw foods). When I learned how to feed this way, I was told to include oils with their diet; flax, cod and or olive. After reading everything I could find and participating in the VCO , I asked on that group and one lady had greyhounds and said that is the only oil she gave them. If it is as good for humans as I've read, then a smaller amount should be good for the greyts. My girl had a hard time sometime with her " poopies " and the VCO helps that - the other oils didn't seem to do that. VCO is supposedly good for weight control so I read. It has not helped me loose weight, but it has helped me to maintain my weight after I lost a lot. My boy is 84 lbs and is a foodaholic. I feed him sparsely but he still keeps weight on since he doesn't run much now. His metabolism is slow. He and my girl who is 63 lbs. eat the same thing. I don't think I could get by with feeding him so little if I didn't give him VCO. Occasionally, I use the other oils and it seems he is hungrier then. My pups are in such good health with beautiful coats, great teeth and I can only say everthing I do for them including some herbs and vitamins is a good health program. This year I'm using lemon tea tree hydrosol and Marge Clarke's " skeeter beater " repellant instead of Frontline for bug repellant. We camp a lot and so far it is working.
