I usually give pumpkin/cocunut oil in the morning. I also give her a glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM suppliment for a mild hip problem. I add an egg about every other day.
Outside of some canned green tripe (tripett), I don't give anything. They don't need it.
They're healthy, they don't smell, their coats glow, and neither have joint issues, so there's no need to supplement everything. They seem to be getting everything they need from their regular diet.
Flax oil is terribly unstable - for a plant based high omega 3 source consider CAMELINA oil -- same or higher omega 3 content except that it has a long life shelf stability.
Power of 3-EA's is high proportion of Camelina oil.
Nupro gold, Tripett, fish oil, Jarrow pet dophilus, coconut oil, and sometimes garlic (depending on how bad his yeast is being. He has huge issues with yeast!)
Just sardines once a week. Don't have the money to spend on extra supplements right now. Used to give fish oil but got tired of it and my GSD did not like it and tried using coconut oil too... again, didn't sit well.
For the puppy, just probiotics (per breeder recommendation). My other dogs get grizzly salmon oil once a day. Schatzi gets Hylasport (joint supplement) for her hip dysplasia - she does great on it!
It's not necessary but it can help keep your dog's coat looking good, it could help prevent your dog from getting sick, it could help keep your dogs joints from going bad or getting worse.
I give turmeric, raw local honey, prebiotics, apple cider vinegar (mixed in plain yogurt), coconut oil, and now that I'm feeding raw salmon: vitamin E.
No one has said Feedsentials.
I'm convinced my dog doesn't shed because of that supplement.
He also gets, in rotation, coconut oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil, pumpkin seed oil.
Probiotics, digestive enzymes (I have switched to another food which might eliminate his need for this) and Meeker raspberry powder. Sometimes Olewo carrots and beets.
Let's see if I can get the prize for giving the most supplements!
Rafi has lots of joint problems and some digestive issues. He is on a raw diet (and doing great).
