Most people know that adding in Omega 3 (fish oil) to the diet is helpful and usually necessary. BUT.... not all Omega products are built the same. Did you know that 88% of dogs have an abnormal iFATS
(Inflammatory Fatty Acid Target Score). This means that dogs have significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory fatty acids (arachidonic acid) in their tissues compared to anti-inflammatory levels of fatty acids (EPA and DHA). This imbalance exacerbates any underlying inflammatory disease (from arthritis to skin problems) and causes the entire body to be in a state of inflammation. But I FINALLY found a product that has the correct amount of EPA and DHA our four legged family members need to put them in an anti-inflammatory state. And I also found a test for my clients that would like to put an exact number on the inflammation in the body. Please contact me at [email protected] if you would like more information.

Can you really have too much of a good thing? Yes, if it comes to vitamins and minerals. Many people think that giving a larger dose of vitamins and minerals does not cause harm. That is not necessarily the case. Did you know that too much Vitamin E can cause signs of Vitamin A deficiency? If you then supplement Vitamin A, you will get a decrease in Vitamin D which can eventually result in iron toxicity anemia. The moral of the story is less is more. Only give the vitamin and mineral supplement dose recommended by your veterinary practitioner!
