I want to share a source for pure to goodness wheat germ oil. I used to buy it at my local farm store years ago thinking I was getting pure wheat germ oil. Little did I know it was blended with some other unfavorable oil. This stuff I'm posting is a really good price and it's pure. I feed it and like it.

Blade I bought this recently.... Good quality oil for sure.
How much of this do you give?
I feed salmon oil and coconut oil, those are high in omega 3. What does wheat germ oil add to a dog's health? I've not used it, just curious. I remember flax seed oil was recommended yrs ago but I don't hear about it these days.
Vitamin E. It's used to increase sperm count. I believe I found my answer by searching other threads.
I JUST ORDERED SOME YESTERDAY, SHOULD BE HERE MON/TUES SO AFTER A MONTH I WILL GIVE MY FEEDBACK ON IT 8) .
I use it in my brood digs , especially older ones. It makes a huge difference and has worked great for me as long as it's pure and cold pressed
I've fed that Rex 100% Wheat Germ Oil before as well, Recently I been feeding "Wheat Germ Oil 100 Softgels By Now Foods". I found the Softgels were easier to keep and maintain then squirts or measuring oil out. I do believe the Rex brand is probably a higher grade but I am unsure. I've also heard to cycle the oils as well and to not feed one oil for a long time, any truth or research to this?
The best way to use plant based oils is to add raw green tripe to the diet. The dogs are not really designed to digest/assimilate plant matter. The tripe has the enzymes of a ruminant animal and will help break down plant matter.
It will make your choice of oils more efficient and more effective.

Even if there is not a ton of nutritional value it will break down plant matter and move it along so it does not hang around long enough to make those 'mongo dry dog food turds'.

It is god-awful smelling. It smells like none other. It will gag a maggot but the dogs love it and it works small miracles. LOL

But its value can be incredible when comparing cost and how it can improve the nutritional effectiveness of any bag of dog food.
Basically any bag of dry food is improved upon with green tripe added.
Much different than throwing in a chicken quarter as an additive.
The tripe will actually break down the plant matter in the bag food and make it more effective/better assimilated and an easier pass thru.
Very underrated in the grand scheme of things.
And pretty cheap to boot.

Yes green tripe is good stuff. I used to feed this frozen green tripe from Blue Ridge Beef --

They were out of it for awhile, they said it was all going to China. But they have it again. If you are on the east coast, the Blue Ridge Beef company has quality raw feeds for dogs. I also use their Puppy Mix, it has a good blend of raw meats, organs and bones.
Thye called them 'chubs'. I use to get the 10lb. chub and freeze them. Once frozen I would cut them into 1/2 pound or so patties and re-package.
When frozen the smell is not nearly as bad.
From there feeding is a bit easier.
I bought mine from a BARF distributor here in NC.

Oh yes, frozen is much better re: the smell!
Blue Ridge Beef chubs come frozen and are about 2 pounds. They might have 10 pounds chubs but I'm only feeding one dog these days. So 2 pounds is plenty and I do cut it semi frozen and wrap and re-freeze it in patties.
