@sunsunsun said in Vet told me to give my dog a teaspoon of safflower oil a day for skin health:
Malicious or just retarded?
It's OK.
Ok too for Peaty sphere, in general, if you limit it. I agree. often surrounded by excess PUFA. deleterious. But not when compensating for a lack. Question of balance.
See here why, for an explanation. Need a translator.

@LucH actually they said corn oil but that's pufa oil anyways
it sounds retarded to me and I mainly asked in a rhetorical manner
I looked at the ingredients of the "vet approved" dog food and in it I saw among other things: main fat source: chicken fat and/or vegetable oil, carrageenan, and aluminum salts. xDDDDI think they're retarded

Yes, not the right source and ingredients.
You could obtain the same result by combining differents ingredients:- oil that penetrate the skin easily but with a dog / cat, it's going through food (embedded): 1 tsp.
Jojoba for a skin application. one sprouted almond for ingestion (without the peel). - some vit E from a liquid form. 3x/wk. Not much. 20-25 mg.
- I suppose GLA 500 mg would be fine too. Gla made from borage oil. One softgel 500 mg.

Indoctrinated
Don’t do it

@Peatful Vets are actually retarded:
Baytril is a pro-drug for ciprofloxican
Look up floroquinolone associated disability
Causes joint issues due to degenerating ligaments and tendons due to mitochondrial toxicity, it is well documented.
5 months on Baytril is crazy. Some humans get lasting negative effects just from a couple doses. It strongly chelates magnesium and interferes with metabolic processes as a result.

Tell your vet that your dog regrew an eye (Ray Peat followers know) and tell us about the reaction.

I will be eternally grateful to the vets that helped give my family an extra year with our cat, but as far as nutrition is concerned, they are unfortunately very retarded, and they enable the things that are killing peoples pets early.
The entire pet food industry is extremely fucked. All "Veterinary approved".
Poisoning animals with seed oils, grains, and vegetables they shouldn't eat, which the vet you go to will then recommend. -
@Hearthfire i actually give my dog cooked vegetables such as cabbage and green beans and spinach. i have to mix them with meat though and she prefers liver for her nutrients tbh
-
@sunsunsun what dog do you have? is it muzzled?
-
Just do coconut oil, it's pretty good for the skin.
Idk not such a big deal. Not everybody is on the seed oil wagon. Translate it to a different oil and it's fine. -
@alfredoolivas muzzled? what kind of question is that? are you in a spicy mood alfredo?
-
@happyhanneke go look at ingredients of vet approved foods and tell me its fine
-
-
@sunsunsun Nah. most vets are crazy. I've been told to not get service because I don't feed my dog kibble. I just don't really take them too seriously. Most meds I order myself at revival animal. I still need a vet for certain emergencies.
-
@happyhanneke thx ill look them up
-
@sunsunsun avoiding the question are we? given it's owner, i though it must have an agressive personality.

-
@happyhanneke they ask for a prescription tho

My family and I have always given our dogs eggs for their skin and coat health. Their overall diet makes a difference too, IME. We had them on a whole foods, freeze dried kibble (Bravo) and they were healthy, but our vet was so impressed at how lean and strong they (a yellow lab/husky mix and a maltese) were after we switched them to a fresh diet of meat/seafood, raw liver, eggs, cottage cheese, fruit—mainly squash and melon—raw carrots, and well-cooked green beans.

@Jennifer nice I just bought 10lb of green beans. greenbeanmaxxing
