Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Vitamin E does for dogs?
Thank you,
Haley

Good for coat and joints.

vitamin e is also important for fertility/hormones and birth defect prevention. most vitamin e derives from wheat, so if your dog has a wheat intolerance you will need to keep this in mind.

Jenni So if someone is feeding say GRIZZLY salmon oil then vitamin E should be given at same time? how much vit. E is required for lets say a 75lb dog.

If your dog is being fed a high quality dry food, plus some additional meat, is it really beneficial to be adding supplements? In other words, are we "over supplementing"? Is the addition of supplements necessary for only those that are fed raw diets?

Zin, yes. 400IU for a large dog- it's the most common size of vit e, anyway. I did have to look pretty hard to find vit e for my small dogs. I never will add salmon oil w/out the requisite vit e at the same time. They'll eat the gel caps quite easily; I've never had a dog pick them out of the food like some do w/capsules or other pills.

Why is this?

Put very simply, the body depletes its reserves of vitamin E while processing the salmon oil b/c it uses E to stablilize Omega 3's/6's (I think 6's too, but at least 3's).
