Also, Oils are important for healthy skin.
Wholistic, Wild, Deep Sea
Salmon Oil:
The Wholistic Pet
• Provides levels of both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids
• Natural, pure oil is made only from wild, non-farmed salmon and stabilized with natural antioxidants
• Helps to maintain a healthy skin and coat and promote strong immune, cardiovascular, and nervous systems
**Free of All Pollutants & Heavy Metals (Very important)
Coconut Oil: Add 1 tsp. of organic coconut oil for every 10 to 20 pounds of body weight to your dogs’ food. Besides promoting a good balance of organisms in the intestines, it has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties and helps with itching!
The Wholistic Pet
*100% Certified Organic, super-premium, extra virgin and non-genetically engineered.
Or you can purchase Organic, Virgin, Non-GMO, NO Hexane from your local health food store.
If you do decide to switch food,
wean slowly off of current food on to the new food to prevent gut upset. Same is true with the oils. Start with very small amounts and work up to recommended dosages.
Good Luck!
