Useful Dietary Supplements

Postby Cara-Lea » June 11th, 2009, 11:16 am

I thought we could have a thread that discusses the supplements we use (or have used) to help towards general health and well-being, or for specific issues.

Currently Choo and Ty are on the following:

Choo
Glucosamine (500mg), Chondroitin (400mg) & MSM (400mg) - 1 per day (for joint health and support)
Wild Alaskan Salmon and Fish Oil Blend (1000mg) - 1 per day (for skin and fur)
Calcium - 1/2 pill every other day (for periodic back spasms)


Ty
Glucosamine (500mg), Chondroitin (400mg) & MSM (400mg) - 1 per day (for joint health and support)
Wild Alaskan Salmon and Fish Oil Blend (1000mg) - 1 per day (for skin and fur)
Melatonin (3mg) - 2 per day, one in each meal (for fur re-growth and to help calm his neurotic behaviors)

Quinn (bridge angel) used to be on:
Glucosamine (500mg), Chondroitin (400mg) & MSM (400mg) - 1 per day (for joint health and support)
Liquid Omega 3 - I don't remember the dosage (for joint health and support)

Please, start adding on to this list... and share with us things that didn't necessarily work for you too! :)

Excellent idea for a thread Cara Lea.

I give my pups nutritional yeast, acidopholous, and kelp.

Nutritional yeast is full of B vitamins, and I am amazed at how soft Peanut's fur is now. She's always had soft fur, but now she feels like a bunny.

where do you get the nutritional yeast, Janet? How much do you give each hound? What about the kelp and acidopholus?
