| Growing Coat on a Door Knob Okay I am planning to try that, I have already purchased the stuff for it, growing a coat on a door knob. Do you think it will be bad to mix those ingredients with Ark Naturals Coat? Should I do one at a time or what? I have not used either but have been reading on the forum here that people have a lot of luck with both. I have ordered both and just don't want to make my babies sick or harm them with TOO many supplements. Thanks so very much in advance for your help.

| I would thoroughly research the ingredients in both products and I would discuss them with my vet. It is very easy to make your pet or yourself sick with supplements -- kidneys, liver, and heart are particularly at risk. Just because something is sold in stores or online, doesn't make it safe.

| Lixotinic is only a vitamin/ iron supplement from Pfizer Animal health. It is usually available and for veterinary use only. Mirra Coat is basically a combo of glycerides, which are fatty acids combined with glycerol; MC also contains vitamin A, and of course E. As vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins which protects vitamin A(which is also in Mirra-Coat) as well as the fatty acids from oxidation in the bodies cells, and also prevents the breakdown of the bodies tissues. These two above have beneficial elements that are great for our pups skin and coat. Complete Proteins, Omega 3s, Vitamin E, and other nutrients are essential to both skin cell maintenance and healthy coats. However, the addition of just "Peanut Butter" scares me. Most peanut butter off the shelf is processed and has hydrogenated oils....NOT good. These are also known as Trans fats, and they do the same damage to our pups as they do to us. This is especially disconcerting because of the predisposition of our yorkies to liver and pancreatic dysfunctions and disease. Organic unprocessed peanut butter would be a lot better as it still would contain vitamin E, yet without the Trans fat issues. Some people do have issues with honey. However raw honey has been used for many things including aiding with digestion and maintaining healthy skin, and arthritis; it is a source of simple carbohydrates. Out of curiosity, what are you feeding your pups now? Just a thought...... but you might want to discuss this regime with your vet to make sure that your pups do not have any outstanding issues such as pancreatitis or liver dysfunction. Also.... you might want to think about just adding in omega 3's, such as salmon oil fortified with vitamin E, depending on their diet. |

| Sorry.... forget to mention that doing both the GHDK and Ark together, as in doubling up on these supplements is Not a good idea. Toxicity within fat-soluble vitamins such as A and E is a real concern. Also fatty acids are just that; and over saturation can cause dysfunction or damage to many organs, as mentioned in my above post. Alternating between the two may be a choice, however, as I stated before, making sure that there are no outstanding issues currently is a important. |

Let me add that said receipe has been around for awhile, used by many, does it work? Many who have tried it have not experienced the expected results.
