brewers yeast

[lovemyshiba]

A friend of mine just started giving her dog brewers yeast about 2 weeks ago. She got it because she heard it was to help cut down shedding, but she says it has an added bonus--Brittany, one of her labs, always seems a bit depressed, she says Brittany seems happier now, and more full of energy!!

Does anyone out there have any experience with brewers yeast??

The reason her dog seems happier is because yeast is in the vitamin B group, which is the happy vitamin. :) It's also a high-energy food.

I don't use it right now, but I plan to when I'm older and have money lol.

Star and Cody get a powdered supplement with each meal "Animal Essentials" which includes Brewer's Yeast. I heard the same thing too, Emily re: the shedding and coat benefits. How great that it seems to have perked up Brittany too!:D It's hard to imagine a "depressed" Lab:(
