Cat Richter Webboard User Reg: 02-04-2007 Posts: 359 Loc: Richmond, B.C, Canada Offline	Hello, I have a 13 yr old almost 14 springer spaniel, border collie x. Has slowed down a bit and harder of hearing...or perhaps selective hearing but other than that hes still in great shape and i would like to keep it that way. Are there any supplements that would be great for older dogs? Hes on raw food and milk thistle for his liver and the occasional joint supplement. He is starting to get a film, or glaze over his eyes as well, i do not know why, is this him going blind, b/c he seems fine. Thanks! old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to- unknown

Those are good for any dog at any age.:smile: Salmon oil dosage will be 1000 mg per 10 lbs. of body weight. Vitamin E is 100 IU for tiny dogs. 200 IU for small to medium dogs. 400 for large dogs.

Why is vitamin e good? What does it do, i've never heard that one before. It protects the omega 3 fatty acids in the salmon oil from damage. That's the rough answer, anyway. Someone else will have to chime in if you want more detail.:smile:
