hanks!! I'll have to check out the pet stores around here and see if they carry it!! Sounds like a good thing to have! Do you feed it to them every day, every week...??
Every day!
Tara I get Fish oil (omega3) and flaxseed at the drugstore...yuu can get it at a health food place as well. I also feed them a food that has it in it already so they are basically getting double doses lol I get the capsules and cut it open and mix with their food. Mine also think they are treats and will just eat them whole. It is like watching therm chew gum because of the capsule. It is hysterical. I feed my dogs twice a day so with each meal they get them. AS far as ordering the stuff online goes...I have had 14 shelties come through my rescue and never bought anything online or supposedly used to maintain a healthy coat. I find a good quality premium food (Halo and Taste of the Wild), the oils and a good brushing and regular maintenance are as good as buying these over priced things that some do
It's not overpriced. The Nupro has Omega3 and garlic, along with several other things that help maintain a good coat. It's not expensive, especially when you only feed 1 teaspoon a day. A 30 ounce container lasts 3-4 months with 5 dogs, being fed daily. It costs about $20 for a 30 ounce container.
Not to mention my dogs love this as a treat...(I mean, if you don't give it to them, they'll bug you until you do!) Also, I can buy this at several of the feed stores in my area. Usually $16 or so for the 30 ounce container.
Ingredients list from their site:
NUPRO's quality ingredients are as follows:
DESICCATED LIVER:The ultimate in palatability! This fresh, natural flavor of real liver is wonderful for the finicky eater because when mixed with water, makes a great gravy that dogs crave. Supplies iron and B vitamins
NORWEGIAN KELP:A natural seaweed that is a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, which is used for proper glandular function and metabolism. An excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E. These vitamins are beneficial for maintaining proper health and are responsible for the growth of bones, a healthy heart rate, a sound central nervous system, and helping muscles stay firm and strong. Norwegian kelp grows deep in the ocean, mostly in cold waters, so it contains valuable nutrients from the ocean floor. Aside from nourishing the glands, it is beneficial for overall good health. Supports healthy pigmentation and coat highlights.
MICROPULVERIZED BEE POLLEN:One of nature’s healthiest and most powerful ‘superfoods.’ Bee pollen contains an incredible array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. It’s one of the most nutritionally complete natural substances found on earth. Supports a healthy immune system. Keeps healthy hormones in balance. Supports allergy protection.
IMPORTED YEAST CULTURE:Helps maintain a full and healthy coat which may minimize the occurrence of excessive shedding, hot spots and itchy, dry fur. Provides proteins, zinc and biotin. Best source of B vitamins. Most companies use cheaper brewers yeast which can be a combination of hops, corn, grains, wheat, etc., whatever comes from the brewery. Many animals have grain allergies, and this ingredient may further aggravate an allergy condition. With nutritional yeast culture, it is grown on sugar beets, a veggie source, so NO grains are present at all. Something to think about when reading ingredient labels.
FLAXSEED AND GROUND BORAGE SEED
LECITHIN: A rich source of choline, which the body requires to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter which is essential for normal, healthy nerve and brain function. Supports healthy liver function, too.
GARLIC CONCENTRATE:Wonderful ingredient that does so much for the body. Garlic contains allicin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial capable of warding off different types of infection. Supports a healthy immune system.
LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS
CALCIUM CITRATE: Calcium is best absorbed in an acidic environment, hence calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium---it does not require extra stomach acid for absorption. Intended to provide nutritive support for healthy bones, teeth and nerve function.
