What is Flaxseed Oil?

Flaxseed oil, with its high omega-3 content, has health benefits for animals as well as humans. Horses, dogs, and other farm animals are commonly given supplements of flaxseed oil to help alleviate symptoms of arthritis, increase physical performance, give the animal a nice, shiny coat, or simply enhance the animals’ general health and well-being.

If you have an older dog that is becoming arthritic, you may want to start giving them flaxseed oil daily to help their inflamed joints. It may improve your dog's mobility.

Also, dogs with itchy and dry skin are often lacking essential fatty acids. This oil, added to their food daily, may give them all the fatty acids they need, helping them get their shiny coat and healthy skin back.

Doggies that suffer from kidney problems may also benefit greatly from flaxseed oil. Many vets prescribe flaxseed oil for older dogs or those suffering with severe allergies. It's a natural solution rather than constant medication.

The top 5 benefits are:

• Flaxseed oil reduces itching and dry skin
• It has anti-inflammatory properties which helps with mobility
• It regulates blood pressure, kidney function and artery function
• Flaxseed is an important factor in cellular health
• It acts as an anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent. Anyone or any fur kid taking this oil on a daily basis will have a stronger immune system to fight off illness or disease.
