Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

| Hello, I'm am considering putting Miya on one of these supplements, I was advised at my last show to start her on k9 showstopper. (of course I went on the web to read into it) I'm a little hesitant after reading some down sides to it, like weight gain? It has all great reviews about the results people are getting from it otherwise. I'm just looking for some advice or personal experience by chance of anyone who has used this product. Now inflight coat supplement is supposed to do the same thing, full-beautiful coat BUT without the weight gain. Both seem like such great products, & I'm not sure which one to go with. If you have any experience with either please share Thanks in advance |

| It's straight fat...IMO, you are better off having her on a nutritious diet and adding coconut oil. Same effect, much better for her. |

| Both are? Oh noo haha I do feed her totw with salmon oil I have to force her to take coconut oil she doesn't like it lol
The person at the show sweared by Showstopper ? His dogs looked good, could you give it to them if you run your sibe daily?
I know many people fed raw, and they get great results but to fed both my shepherd and husky raw I can imagine will get very pricey. |

| I feed raw to three siberians, and it is wayyyyyyyy cheaper. I'm sure there are co ops and groups out by you. I can do some research later.
Showstopper is incredibly high in fat and has even been known to cause nutritional corneal dystrophy that recedes after being taken off. There are siberians who have failed their CERF/OFA eye clearances because of it and then a year later passed.
Inflight has flax seed. I would never feed flax to a breeding dog as there has been some connection to reproductive issues.
I'd say if she won't do the coconut oil, stick with salmon oil and vitamin e. The biggest change will come with whole diet. We don't supplement raw except for coconut oil and I only do that because it is antiviral antibacterial and antifungal naturally. |

| Showstopper can be a delicate balancing act too. I've had 2 who don't tolerate it well at all. I have not, however, ever had any eye tests come back failed due to being on showstopper though I have heard of it happening. It can cause a fatty deposit in the eye that mimics CD. But the bigger question I have is why are you wanting to add showstopper or Inflight? |

| Thank you Megan for you advice & the link I plan to add meat to her diet @huskymom09 The main reason, is my mentor told me I should put my girl on it, he told me the results he's had so I was convinced it wasn't bad. I thought I was just vitamins and it helps he grow a nice coat two bonuses. But after everyone so against it, I shouldn't put her on it. |
