Without a doubt, fish oil has proven to be one of the most important source of omega 3's for our diets (ours and our pets). While flaxseed also has omega 3's, its profile and digestibility are not the same. Here's a snapshot of an excerpt by Barteges et al 2019 that I read this weekend: This report cites 7 research studies in this snapshot alone!
Still not convinced? Let's discuss! Being the avid devourer of research and anything evidence-based for treatment, I have amassed hundreds of studies on various health topics and file folders devoted to alternative-type information (like fish oil).

Well, ^ that's close, but not quite. As we move into the cooler months, our attention turns toward sweaters, boots & "PSL". Dogs can benefit from wearing "boots" too! Even if you don't live in a place cold enough like this next pic (But YES, most definitely if you do)
Wearing dog booties is of great benefit for dogs that walk on asphalt and concrete in places like California, Hawaii, Arizona... places that are STILL hot now going into fall and winter. The booties help prevent injuries to sensitive paw pads. They also help prevent your dog tracking in pesticides and other chemicals that are out there in public places, and can be absorbed into your pet's system. (This is becoming a real concern and threat to animal health!) For rehab purposes, we use booties to help increase the active mobility in the legs. (Or what you see as this cute, "high stepping" action!) Booties are available on most major websites. If YOU have used them before, what are YOUR favorite types or brands? And by the way, be prepared when you Google "Booties"... |
