Canine Health Problems
Many dogs suffer from various canine health problems. These can be terrible time for the pet and his owner. Preventing health problems is not always possible; however, 
your dog will always thank you for giving her a nutritious diet!
It is so important to be sure they are getting a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Omega 3 is severely lacking in many pet foods and an excellent, economical way to get more Omega 3 into your pet's diet is through flax seed. Your dog may benefit from the
healing benefits of Flax seed's omega 3, lignans + other nutrients.
Here are some
canine health problems that may benefit from Flaxseed's Omega 3 fatty acids, Lignans + Nutrients:
Dull, Dry Skin + Hair
Many dogs are not getting enough Omega 3 in pet food and the
lack of Omega 3 fatty acids directly affects your pet's skin and hair. Dogs
cannot synthesize Omega 3 from anything else, they (just like us) MUST get it from the food they eat –that is why it is called ESSENTIAL fatty acids (or also called essential Omega 3 oils).
If your pet has a dull, dry coat; scratches himself frequently; has hair loss or thinning; and/or has dry skin, his diet may be deficient in Omega 3. Many pet owners have experienced reversal of these symptoms after adding ground flax seed to your pet's diet.
Allergies
Allergies or allergy-like symptoms, such as
eczema or itching, may be due to your dog having a
weakened immune system. If an immune system has been weakened, the body does not have its normal resistance.
Flax seed's Omega 3 and Lignans can
help heal your pet and build their immune system stronger helping to minimize or eliminate allergic symptoms.
Inflammatory diseases
Our pets can experience Inflammation through sprains, poor nutrition, or getting old. It is important to be sure they are getting adequate Omega 3 in their food as well as
lignans which have been studied and shown to help decrease inflammation and help the body heal!
Omega 3 fatty acids and Lignans are effective in helping
reduce arthritic inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, among other inflammatory diseases.
Kidney Failure
Flax seed Omega 3 fatty oils and Lignan benefits include helping slow and fight kidney disease through its
anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Prevention is always the goal, but if your pet is experiencing kidney dysfunction, failure, or disease, it is important to be sure that their
diet is well-balanced + has enough Omega 3 fatty acids.
Yeast Infections
Dogs can get
common re-occurring yeast infections on their ears and skin. Omega 3 fatty oils have helped to slow down growth of certain yeast.
In addition to seeing your vet, try
adding Flaxseed with it's powerful Omega 3, Lignans and other nutrients to your dog's food and help give your pet a well-balanced diet!
Triglycerides and Cholesterol
Flax seed Omega 3 fatty acids can help
decrease triglycerides and cholesterol in yours and your pet's blood. If your pet is not having a bowel movement daily and constipated frequently, then their body is re-absorbing cholesterol back into the blood.
Doggies needs to be regular for the health of it!
Dogs with other health problems such as kidney disease, cancer, heart disease or dogs that are receiving various types of medications + therapies can cause hyperlipidemia and/or constipation.
Flax seed may be just what your pet needs!
Digestive Disorders
Other canine health problems are the many kinds of digestive problems a dog can get from
exposure to toxins, chemicals, and preservatives in processed food. Ground flax seed can help to
heal and protect your pet's digestive system while also preventing constipation (constipation can cause elevated cholesterol).
Flax has both
soluble + insoluble fiber. A type of Soluble Fiber is
MUCILAGE, which is what makes flax become gelatinous if left sitting in liquid and is essential for helping to
cleanse and heal the colon with its medicinal properties. Be sure your pet is getting enough added water when you add extra fiber to their diet!
Cancers
Excellent research has been done showing that the Omega 3 and Lignans in Flaxseed
help prevent and slow growth of cancerous tumors. It is exciting to wonder if we can
heal our bodies and our pets bodies through
what we eat rather than radiation + chemo!!
Prevention is the most important thing and a well-balanced diet is essential! Throw some flax on your food and your doggie's food and you will both be
eating healthier!
Heart Disease
Another huge area of canine health problems is heart disease and cardiovascular problems.In the same way that Omega 3 fatty acids help protect our blood vessels and help prevent and improve
high blood pressure, abnormal + irregular heart rhythms, and cardiovascular (heart) problems, Omega 3 oils also help our pets!
Adding flax to their well-balanced diet can help provide
healing Omega 3 oils that they aren't getting from their pet food! Your dog will also benefit from the
Lignans, protein, vitamins + minerals in flax seed.
