| I got all the ingredients last week and made half a batch. It does make a lot, so our german shepherd is getting her daily dose too! They seem to love it! I'll let you guys know in a couple weeks if i see an improvement in their coats. It did seem like a lot of pet tinic so i only used 1/4 of the bottle. Anyone else try this recipe? |

| When I was wokring with horses we used to use products from Cheval International(black horse supplement, horse beauty naturally, horse nutrition, equestrians, and horse stables.). There products worked great.They make dog supplements too... Everyone should check them out. The results they show are very impressive and I have seen it myself. Trevor |

| coat results I just came across this posting when I was searching for tips for coat color. Has anyone seen results with the supplement trials yet? My girl is very active and it seems difficult to maintain her required intake and being a newbie I recently realized from reading other postings that nutrition may be affecting her coat growth and color. I noticed that when I switched my dog's food (Go! Natural) from the chicken to salmon, her coat has begun growing in darker (before it seemed too light before and very slow-growing). Having said that, I have also been giving her peanut butter and yogurt sometimes as a treat so I can't say which is really helping her coat. I'd be curious if the seameal or the recipe with linatone and mirracoat is working. I also have nori in my cupboard so I will try that. Thanks! |

| Okay so i have now been using this formula for about 3 months at one point i stopped because i thought it was causing my girls blue to grow tan in it but now i am thinking she is just going through hormone imbalance. I still am not too sure tho. She is a darker gold and i was told that almost all darker yorkies gold runs so maybe thats what it is but its not just running its also just has a slight tint of tan to it on the back also. I am really hoping it will correct itself (bc maybe its hormonal) because she was supposed to be my 1st show dog she is still only a little over a year so i know a lot can change in a year. SO anyways back to this formula. It seems that when i do feed it her hair does grow faster and its thicker and it seems silkier but that all could be just her age and her growing in her adult coat. I will continue to use it though becasue its helped putting weight on her and i have a ton of it. I will try and get a good pic. |

| I've heard good things about the solid gold's seameal with flax seed too. What about Salmon oil? Is that safe? Melissa

| I have very long hair myself almost to my tailbone and I apply the same principles to my dogs' hair as I do my own: 1. Use coconut or argan oil to condition the hair 2. Supplement the diet salmon oil/fish oil. I've had great success with salmon/fish oil because it is more biologically available to dogs than flax seed and the dog's system can absorb more of the omegas. 3. Adjust the diet to deliver enough proteins and oils (for my dogs this meant a prey model raw diet and for myself a paleo-type diet). 4. Don't wash the hair too frequently or with harsh shampoos. Conditioner takes longer, but it is just as effective in cleaning hair as shampoo is. I rarely use shampoo on my own hair because it dries and thins it out. If I just use conditioner, the strands are considerably stronger, more flexible and thicker. So I do a conditioner only wash by applying conditioner and leaving it in for at least 5 minutes. When I have to wash the hair with shampoo due to build up, I coat the lengths with a mixture of coconut oil and conditioner. This works very well to keep the ends from drying out. I'm happy with our regime because the dogs' hair look and feel amazing, they don't need harsh baths as often as they used to and they have more hair than I know what to do with.
