Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM were useless in helping my dog. It was not until a friend suggested fish oils that I started to have success from the holistic side. I did not use Nordic Naturals that Dr. Roger talked about, but went with what was in my vet's office, a product called Derm Caps. It took a couple of weeks to see a difference, but boy what a difference. He has been on them for 6 months now, and this dog who was once dependent on daily anti inflammatory drugs, now only has to occassionally have a pill if he has been extra active on a given day, or if the weather is exceptionally cold. His skin and hair coat also have never looked better. This stuff is no joke!Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-66886896338363206822010-12-15T20:33:46.724-08:002010-12-15T20:33:46.724-08:00Doc, in response to the michael vick piece on your...Doc, in response to the michael vick piece on your radio show this week, my response to him wanting to adopt a dog, my answer is NO @#$! WAY!!! Would you allow a convisted pediphile the right to adopt a child just because he did his time??? That creep should not even be allowed to have a goldfish. If he's lonely, let the douche get one of those juju pets!ABnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-22361806189203519392010-12-14T19:49:15.456-08:002010-12-14T19:49:15.456-08:00PW and Ed, in answer to your points, they are exce...PW and Ed, in answer to your points, they are excellent, and the answer is honestly, I don't know. I am having a holistic veterinarian on my radio show Wednesday, Jan 5, 2011 episode who is an expert in health supplements, particularly omega-3s. I would suggest listening in, as we all stand to learn something that day. This concern will certainly be on my list of questions.Roger Welton, DVMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781509292213339950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-75031167163373834622010-12-14T19:41:49.057-08:002010-12-14T19:41:49.057-08:00Good points, What do you think, Doc, is omega-3 d...Good points, What do you think, Doc, is omega-3 derrived from soy, avocado and other vegetable sources as good as that from fish?Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-30741357702390599962010-12-14T11:28:55.862-08:002010-12-14T11:28:55.862-08:00One of my cats gets horribly flaky skin if he is n...One of my cats gets horribly flaky skin if he is not kept on Derm Caps, an omega 3 supplement I get from my vet. He also used to suffer from urinary tract problems all of the time. Since treating him with Derm Caps for the skin, his urinary troubles have all but vanished. From my own experience, all that I keep reading, and now hearing about it in this video, I am convinced this stuff is amazing!catgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-68786885545788653622010-12-14T07:00:11.906-08:002010-12-14T07:00:11.906-08:00Omega-3s are great, but from what I have read, it ...Omega-3s are great, but from what I have read, it does not seem that the cod populations will hold up to this relatively new increaingly popular use of them. I understand avacodo and macadamia nuts, among other plant sources, are a fairly rich source of omega-3-fatty acids, plants that does not face extinction as cod face from being overfished. Wouldn't it make more sense to take omega-3s derived from avocado?pw1974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-47094859212888231292010-12-12T19:09:30.231-08:002010-12-12T19:09:30.231-08:00I believe it 100%!

I tried eating glutein free, eliminating red meat, avoiding sugar, repeated antibiotics, and even steroids. The steroid finally worked, but the side effects were aweful. My chiropractor suggested I try omega-3s he sold out of his office, and within 3 days, I fellt better thn i had in years! I still have to watch what I eat, avoid spicy food and junk food, soda, alcohol, etc, but what a difference! It does not surprise me that this stuff works for pets as well.Leahnoreply@blogger.com
