Flax Oil
Posted: Fri May 31, 2019 1:45 pm
It's not all that often that I run across a product that actually delivers on it's promises, so I thought this was worth sharing.
I have two pointers. One has a beautiful seal-like coat, the other a much harsher and dryer coat that he constantly sheds, to the point that I can't have him in the cab of the truck or in the house. I saw an ad in PDJ about a flax oil supplement, and coat improvement was listed among it's purported benefits. I thought it was worth $15 to give it a try, and after a few weeks there is a very noticeable improvement in my dog's coat - much smoother and softer to touch, and more shine to it. Still sheds more than I'd like but it appears to be less than what it has been in the past. The other benefits advertised were reduction in joint inflammation, and suppression of some autoimmune and bowel disorders. I can't vouch for any of those, but am convinced that it made an appreciable improvement in the dog's coat, to the point that I just reordered a gallon of it. I'd previously tried fish oil tablets along with a variety of foods to no avail.
Curious if anyone else has any experience with flax oil.
