cristar Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Has anyone on here ever tried Docsblend hair of the dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey8greys Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have not tried Docsblend hair of the dog. I use Fresh Factors and Joint Health supplements from Springtimeinc.com and have had greyt results. I also use their Joint Health Capsules for people. I have been using these supplements for about 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristar Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks Grey8greys, I'm looking for something that will promote hair growth. The Docsblend is slowly but surely doing the job but there's such a high (40%) fat content in it that she's gaining a ton of weight and I don't want to have to cut back her food just so she can grow hair on her bald heinie.

Guest BiancasMom Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I use Docsblend and have used it for almost 4 years. It made my grey's coat healthier and she has less dandruff. She even grew some fuzz on her bum. I have not noted any weight gain. She gets 2 tablespoons in the morning and one at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristar Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Wow, I might have to look into switching foods - my girl is only getting one tablespoon per day and she gets 3 3/4 cups of Precise Foundation daily. Hmmm... Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_daerr Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It's sort of a highly debated topic, but some people use melatonin for hair regrowth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristar Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I know, a lot of grey owners I know have used it and it has worked for them. Lately though, it's been linked to thyroid problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Iceland Pure Salmon Oil and 3 mg of melatonin, turned my bald boy Carl into the greyhound Sasquatch. I only give him the melatonin 2-3x a week now for maintenance, he gets the Iceland Pure with each meal. He's bunny soft. One caveat: it seems like certain brands of melatonin work for specific dogs, I've tried at least 4 brands and the one that works for Carl like a fast acting Chia pet is Nature's Bounty, which I buy at Target.

Batmom Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If she's gaining a lot of weight, I'd cut back on the food amount. Depending on her size and activity level, she might need only @ 2.5 cups/day of that particular food to maintain.

Fresh Factors, Longevity etc. do promote hair growth. I've used Springtimes remarkable products for at least 20 years for me and my dogs and like the above poster, have been not just satisfied but amazed at their efficacy.

Guest grey_dreams Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Has anyone on here ever tried Docsblend hair of the dog? Are you still going to try Docsblend? If you do, could you please let us know your results with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristar Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 I will continue to use it for a while. I had just bought 3 more lbs. of it so I'll try cutting back on the supplement - maybe 1 1/2 teaspoons per day instead of the tablespoon per day that she's been getting and cut back a little on her food and see what happens. If she continues to gain, I'll stop the Docsblend and go with the Fresh Factors. Funny thing guys, out of all the greys we've had, I've never had to worry about one being too heavy! She's the first broodie we've ever had and I gotta tell ya all, it surely won't be the last. I just love her to pieces! I'll let you know how it's going. Thanks for all your help.

My almost 12 year old Peace does not limp or seem stiff when she gets up from a nap. Great supplements! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
