Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	Yes, human Vitamin E. Did you read page 1 of this thread? It specifies the type. (See my post just before yours.) QUOTE: (Natural, or d-alpha, is what you want, IMO as the minimum requirement, in any brand, and, if possible, "with mixed tocopherols." Don't forget fish oil. When you have the dog's approximate weight, we can pinpoint dosages.

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	That is fine. But what size are they (in milligrams or "IU" for International Units)? When you have the pup's weight, we can pinpoint the size needed. Also the fish oil ... http://leerburg.com/webboard/thread.php?topic_id=32665&page=1 http://leerburg.com/webboard/thread.php?topic_id=33466&page=1#379504 QUOTE from me: I use a gram (1000 mg) of fish oil per ten pounds of dog. Some people use a gram per twenty pounds of dog. PS I use named-fish oil, not vague "marine sources" or unnamed fish.

Have you looked in regular vitamin or health-food shops for humans? Or vitamin supply sites online? For me, no to this:: Ingredients: wheat germ oil, gelatin, humectant: vegetable glycerol; vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol). You want d-alpha, not dl-alpha. All-natural E has d-alpha (and even better ones have "with mixed tocopherols"). For me, the basic requirement is d-alpha. You are not going to need a bunch of supplements. For me, fish oil and E are THE supplements, possibly for a long long time. And you will find a bigger E selection, probably at better prices and without stuff you do not want, from human suppliers. JMO!
