My gelding has horrible sweet itch every year. He would rub most of his tail and all of his mane off, including patches of skin on his neck. I was using topical relief products that helped, but in an effort to try to prevent the problem I ordered Animed Flax seed oil hoping to get it stopped. I've been pouring approximately 1 oz on his feed twice day for a little over two weeks. His tail is growing in nicely and as well as his mane. The rough, itchy skin at the base of his neck has cleared up and I haven't seen him scratching on the trees like before. We live in Arizona so the worst of our heat hasn't hit us yet. We have several months of extreme heat and midges ahead of us but I'm optimistic that he will fare better this year.

This oil is a flax seed oil blend and flax seed oil is the second ingredient after soybean oil. It was easy to use but I switched over to ground flax seed both for ease of precise measurement without having an oily measuring cup to clean and to better balance the omega profile recommended by my vet.
