Fish Oil vs Biotin

• Fish Oil vs Biotin Brenda Hicks Posted : 9/25/2009 12:16:30 AM Everybody recommends Fish Oil for skin and coat.What do you do if your dog can't tolerate fish oil? No one ever mentions Biotin. It is a skin,hair and nail vitamin.  Google Biotin for Dogs. Did you know that raw egg whites destroys biotin. Fresh Factors and Longevity made and sold by Springtime Inc.    www.springtimeinc.com 2 months of Fresh Factors and Longevity for Myrt have been great! I hope to have Myrt off the Atopica in a couple more weeks.So far her skin has not broke out.I have tried so many things to get Myrt off the Atopica.I don't know if it's the Fresh Factors and Longevity or if something in her body has changed or what.I just hope for her sake that the Atopica will become a thing of the past.

• brookcove Posted : 9/25/2009 8:52:19 AM Sea vegetables provide omega 3s in high levels for dogs that can process ALA at least to some degree. Omega 3s are not in fact "for" skin and coat. Omega 6s are key in that role. The problem is that without the first, the body cannot use the second well. And omega 3s are highly unstable and not well supplied in the average diet anyway. Biotin on the other hand is stable and adequately supplied in most commercial diets and also those that are homemade and include certain common ingredients. Dogs do not require high levels of biotin for good health. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Brenda Hicks Posted : 9/25/2009 11:18:34 AM The Vanishing Youth Nutrient is a interesting read. It's about the lack of Omega 3's in people food today and how a overload of Omega 6 could be the increase in obesity,arthritis and insulin resistance.If you have to many Omega 6's in your diet you will not have the Omege 3's. The article calls Omega 3's the spring fat and Omega 6 the fall fat.   I don't know what has happened with Myrt.The fish oil never worked for Myrt.It caused alot of bad poop.The Fresh Factors she eats like a treat. She will eat the Longevity mixed with some warm water on her kibble. As long as I can keep her off the Atopica is all that matters to me. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
