Flaxseed Oil for Dogs

Flaxseed Oil is very useful in maintaining your dog's health.  Flaxseed's benefits for dogs are basically same as human benefits of flaxseed oil.  It can help dogs with:

-allergies

-fur and skin maintenance

-heart disease

-inflammatory disease

-cancer

-blood pressure

-kidney/artery function

-metabolism

These benefits for dogs are exactly what the benefits for humans are, except flaxseed helps dog's grow fur and humans grow hair.  There are other more dog-specific ways it helps them.

- If a dog is biting at its fur it is most likely caused by itchy dry skin. This itchy dry skin is caused by the dog not having enough essential fatty acids.  Flaxseed oil contains the nutrients needed for the dog's skin to improve, therefore helping him with his problem of biting his fur.


You can go here for flaxseed oil side effects. These will probably be parallel with what the side effects for flaxseed are to dogs.
