Has anyone tried this out yet? It's supposed to be good for coats and skin! Thought it may help Treacles new growth along as she is looking decidedly scruffy just now, Her tail looks like a washing line with a few straggly socks on it?? LOL
It's not cheap though to give to three huge dogs so before I buy I would like to know if anyone has had good results from it?

Hi I did try it on one of my Gordons but must admit didn't notice a huge difference and as you said the price isn't cheap!

I use Restore periodically, especially to encourage coat growth after major moults, pregnancy or illness and find it excellent.  Not cheap but not extortionate either and since I've found it to work well then falls into the good value category IMO :-)

I've just started my lot on it (1 week now) so it's really a bit early to tell. I actually live in the same village as the people selling it, so popped round and got 2 for the price of one and a free bottle of Salmopet and a free tin of food. Because I've got 6 large dogs, which would work out expensive, he said he does deals for people with multiple pets/huge breeds, so have a word, he was very helpful, maybe he'd send you some samples.

In the Crufts Schedule there was a voucher for 50% off Yumega I think??

Hi,

I tried it on two of mine and have to say that I didn't notice any benefits either.
By Bobzee (*) [gb] Date 07.02.08 21:35 GMT
I've tried it and use it with my goldie Lucy and I must say I have noticed a difference with her coat/skin in general.  If they're at Crufts (which I assume they will be) it may be an idea to get some there if you were thinking of trying it out?  May get a good deal.

Edit - Oh and if there's a 50% off voucher then all the better!

I bought this as it was half price at LKA, must admit though the coats looked better before! Unless its just their coats are changing.
I usually use the Quistel oil which is very good but messy

I wont buy the yumega again

Yumega uses flaxseed as its source of Omega 3, this is not tolerated by all dogs.  Also the body has to convert the ALA into EPA and some dogs cannot do this. Therefore the EFA is more appropriately supplied by Fish Body Oils given in addition to Vitamin E.

Reputable sources of FBO will inform you of the DHA/EPA content.

You may find out that giving FBO plus Starflower Oil capsules plus natural Vitamin E a more cost and health effective approach.

Thanks for all the info, I have decided not to bother with additives, The girls get a pretty mixed diet and lots of oily fish and fresh meat so I think they are probably getting all they really need anyway...never been much of a one for to many additives in their diets anyway!

Hi any update from the people  using  Yumega?? was thinking of getting some
By Pedlee (***) [gb] Date 14.03.08 13:13 GMT
When mine ran out after 3 weeks I decided to go the fish oil/vit E route as I thought it would be cheaper in the long run. In the 3 weeks I used it I can't say I saw any difference, but to get a realistic view I think you would need to use it for longer. Sorry, not much help really!
By sal (**) Date 14.03.08 13:30 GMT
Thanks for you reply.  what fish oil tabs do you use? 
By Pedlee (***) [gb] Date 14.03.08 13:38 GMT
At the moment I'm using Zipvit Super Strength EPA & DHA Omega 3 Fish Oil 1000mg and vit E 200iu (http://www.zipvit.co.uk).
By sal (**) Date 14.03.08 17:28 GMT
many thanks for that
By bedford (*) [gb] Date 14.03.08 23:58 GMT Edited 15.03.08 00:00 GMT
I curently give epo & fbo does anyone think yumega would be a better alternative to this or is there a better combo of oils I could be using? many thanks

just want to say I'm happy with results on my chosen oils but would like to know if anything better out there as dog just dropped her coat!!!
By sal (**) Date 15.03.08 20:16 GMT
is Yumega given daily???
By Bobzee (*) [gb] Date 16.03.08 21:51 GMT
Yumega is given daily with their meals.  As I've said before I use it and have had good results with my goldie where ohers haven't given the desired result :-)
By sal (**) Date 17.03.08 08:28 GMT
