Flaxseed
Just like in us humans, flax can improve your dog’s health. It’s packed with antioxidants and fiber. It’s also a good source of protein, minerals, and vitamins. So, what are some health benefits of flax for your dog?
Digestive Health
Ground flax seeds can relieve your dog’s diarrhea or constipation. Just sprinkle ground flaxseeds. It’s best to start with a small amount at first, increase the dose until you reach the right amount for your dog’s weight. You should always keep ground flaxseeds in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage.
Healthy Coat and Skin
Flaxseed oil is high in Omega-3 fatty acids that support your dog’s skin and coat. It’s a great alternative to fish oil, but without the bad fish smell on your dog’s breath. Pour the recommended dose of flaxseed oil on your dog’s food.
Inflammation
Another benefit of flaxseeds is their anti-inflammatory ability to ease your dog’s joint pain.
Powerful Antioxidant
Flaxseeds contain lignan. Lignans are antioxidants that boost your dog’s immune system. A healthy immune system can help your dog fight off disease and chronic illnesses.
Consider adding flaxseed or a flaxseed oil supplement to your dog’s diet today!
