I had a very interesting talk with the registered and licensed dietitian that I work with for the Bootcamp I run. For some reason, we were talking about the recent diet fads ... for a while I was hearing a lot about gluten free to be THE diet to be on, and just recently the vegan diet is starting to get popular. Then you also have this whole fad about coconut water.
So the conversation led to coconut oil and the health benefits ... she immediately said a huge NO .. that coconut oil had a huge amount of saturated fat, so of course my jaw hit the table. Because we are hearing so much of the health benefits for our bully babies.
Angel, the dietitian, has my complete respect. I've worked with her for four years and between us we've had some fantastic results. And she was very up-front and told me that she really didn't know if maybe it was different for the canine digestion. However, for humans the saturated fat content was really not good.
We did talk about Salmon oil and Angel agreed that the health benefits of salmon oil were as equally fantastic for humans when I told her why we were recommending salmon oil for our bullies.
However, to get the same amount of health benefits as salmon oil rather than give coconut oil, FLAX SEED OIL is the closest to it.
Bella is allergic to salmon oil .... and I was considering coconut oil ... maybe I'll get the flax seed oil instead!!!!!
Tagging @Twice and @cowsmom on this one to see what they say ..............
