Only problem is that it keeos me in the kitchen & then makes me hungry just working around the food (even doggie food) I have been eating a bowl of the cottage cheese & non-sweetened applesauce with cinnamon mixed in for breakfast so I can show doggies they are actually eating mommy food. At least it is healthy but since starting this care for them my weight has been inching up too. Ugh....that doesn't go over well with me though I am not eating any junk food at all. All my extra money is going for my doggies care & nothing else. But they need the fat.....I don't. I have successfully gotten them to gain weight & the flaxseed oil has helped with some spots on their skin that were anniying them. Several have cleared up totally. Amazing how a healthy diet truly helps with physical health. My vet actually said keep doing what you are doing. The tumor is not growing & he is almost not coughing. Maybe with this anti-inflamitory diet we can lower his prescription for daily prednisone.
My animals have always taught me how important a healthy diet is for our health.....it is just so hard to apply it to myself.

Good going on making the doggies well. I hope they get totally better! My dog has some skin problems and I've been wondering how to help. I got some dog shampoo with oatmeal and aloe vera and vitamins-I hope it will help her. She gets these bumps on her skin that sometimes get scabs. Haven't been to the vet about them because it costs so much at times. Where do you get the flaxseed and what form is it in?
