Biotin

Recommended Posts

For those that supplement with biotin, just wondering how much you give and how often etc?

Also, where do you get it from and have you had success with it improving coat/skin.

So far the only place I can find it in powder form is through horse supply places, at around $70 and in 5kg tubs...

Thanks!

Hi Stormie,

we buy Biotin in tablet form from the Chemist or Go Vita health food stores. One tablet per GSD per day. The brand we use is Natures Own and you get 100 tablets in a bottle for around $13. We also supplement with Zinc.

Biotin is used a lot in Germany to maintain coat and also to bring coat back faster after molting. We are happy with the results that we have had and on one of our bitches it made a marked difference.

Hi - any help or advice, greatly appreciated! :provoke:

Just wondering - the Biotin from Horse suppliers, can you use it for a dog?

Did you end up getting Biotin from Nature's Own Stormie?

Also I am currently giving my boy the Supplement - Dr Bruce's Health Booster, which states Vit B and I feed Orijen which contains Biotin 0.6 mg/kg. My question is can I still give Biotin to see if it further assists my boy or don't bother as he will just pee it out? :hitself:

Thank you!

Yep, I found the Nature's Own and been pretty happy with it.

The biotin for horses should be fine, so long as its still just pure biotin - I found it to be really expensive though, especially compared to the Nature's Own.

Awesome Stormie - has your boy's itching reduced since you started him on it? Also is it just one capsula a day?

Cheers
