1. Which size should I buy?
DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat comes in 3 sizes:

To ensure freshness and potency, the product is sealed against air and contaminants at the factory. Once the seal is broken, the product remains in tact at room temperature for approximately 4 months. Refrigerated, it is fully effective up to 6 months. To decide which size is most appropriate and economical, we recommend you select a size that you will use up within approximately 4 months.
E.g.:
1. For a cat or small dog (up to 20lbs.) 375ml will last 2 ½ months. This is the recommended size.
2. For a 60-lb. dog, a 1L bottle lasts 2 ½ months.
3. For a 100-lb. dog a 4L bottle will last 5 1/3 months, and should be refrigerated.

There are very large economies of scale associated with the larger sizes, if you need them. Some retailers may not routinely stock the larger sizes, so if you don’t see the size you want, ask for it. They can order it for you. The savings are substantial – well worth the trouble!

2. I am feeding my pet a quality food. Should I still give DR.MAGGIE™to my pet?
Yes. DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat is formulated and balanced to complement any diet. A high quality food will provide good basic nutrition, but many factors can create an EFA deficiency, especially with dry food. EFA's can be oxidized in processing by high temperatures, or by long storage. When this happens, EFA's cannot be utilized by your pet. In addition, commercial pet foods tend to be lacking in other key nutrients such as the phosphatides and vitamins provided by DR.MAGGIE™ which are essential to your pet's optimal health and beauty.

3. How long will it take before I see results?
It can take up to six weeks to see the full results, although improvements in scratching, or reduced flaking are usually noticeable after about one or two weeks. The time will vary depending on the animal's metabolism. Regular brushing is necessary to remove old hair and stimulate new hair growth. If itching persists, stop using the product, and consult your vet.

4. Can I overdose my pet?
The ingredients in DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat are all natural to your pet and are not toxic even if the recommended dose is greatly exceeded by accident. Research to date has not shown any ill effects from overdosing other than diarrhea, which is only temporary. DR.MAGGIE™is safe even when taken with other supplements and special diets. Read the label for the recommended dosage for your pet. DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat should not be given to animals on blood thinners, or for one month prior to planned surgery.
If diarrhea occurs at the recommended dose, stop giving the supplement, and consult your veterinarian, as a pre-existing condition such as pancreatitis may exist.

5. Can DR.MAGGIE™ harm my young children if they get into it by accident?
No. If a large amount is ingested, it might cause temporary diarrhea. The ingredients are all natural, and human quality; and purity and is guaranteed, so there are no toxic effects.

6. Does the product spoil?
The vitamin E in DR.MAGGIE™is a natural preservative which prevents the product from spoiling. However, once opened it should be used within 3 to 4 months for optimum potency. Keep it away from heat sources including sunlight, as heat will destroy fragile nutrients. Refrigeration will extend freshness, but is not necessary within these guidelines.

7. How long can I keep my pet on DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat?
Indefinitely!

8. What if my pet doesn’t like the taste?
Most dogs and cats love DR.MAGGIE's™ roast chicken flavour and will eat it directly from a spoon or saucer. It can also be mixed with wet or dry food. However some animals may need to get used to a new taste. They will get to like it if you give it a chance. The “roast chicken” flavour is actually mostly sesame seed oil. This flavour is used in human food with chicken gravy and soups. It is a much healthier alternative to chicken fat.

9. Is DR.MAGGIE™safe for pregnant and lactating females? For puppies and kittens?
As lactation requires energy, lactating bitches and queens will often have poor skin and coat condition. This is a particularly good time to supplement them because puppies and kittens are their priority and the nutrients in their food will first be allocated to them. DR.MAGGIE™also benefits growing puppies and kittens, and can be given as soon as they are weaned.

10. Why is DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat better for my pet than other EFA supplements?
DR.MAGGIE's™ unique formula is based on the latest research and contains nutrients that are missing in other supplements – nutrients that dogs and cats require to metabolize EFA’s. This is why DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat is the most effective product you can buy for shedding, dry, flaky skin, and prevention of allergies and hot spots. Also, the amount, and the ratio of Omega fatty acids in DR.MAGGIE™is more beneficial to cats and dogs than in other supplements. DR.MAGGIE™is also much more effective for skin and coat, and overall health than processed foods containing EFA’s because these foods generally contain insufficient amounts of these nutrients. Check the labels and compare them for yourself.

11. Can DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat do anything for my dog’s arthritis?
The EFA’s in DR.MAGGIE™ have a natural mild anti-inflammatory effect which is compatible with the treatment of arthritis, but your dog may require other medications for pain relief, inflammation, and to rebuild worn cartilage. We recommend DR.MAGGIE™Extra Strength Joint Formula for the treatment and prevention of osteo-arthritis. It can be given with .
Studies indicate that omega fatty acids decrease levels of leukotriene B4 in joint fluid, making it a valuable adjunct in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Preliminary studies in dogs indicate that similar benefits are possible in cases of hip dysplasia. As in the case of osteo-arthritis, consult your vet for a correct diagnosis and the best regimen of care for your pet.

12. What else can DR.MAGGIE™ do that EFA’s alone cannot?
In addition to more effective utilization of fatty acids, the special ingredients in DR.MAGGIE™ are also important in liver, brain and nervous system function, digestion and regulating fat metabolism. DR.MAGGIE™is rich in the chief phospholipid found in bile and is important in keeping the bile in solution, preventing its precipitating out in the form of gallstones. It is also found naturally in the myelin sheath, a protective conductive covering of the nerves. It is high in phosphorus and unites with iron, iodine and calcium to give power and vigor to the brain. Phosphatides are essential in the regeneration of new tissue, including skin and coat.
Phosphatidyl choline is crucial in the maintenance of membrane fluidity, a key to normal healthy working of cells. It has been found beneficial in a number of neurological conditions and in the repair of cell membranes, particularly in the liver.
In numerous human and animal studies the phosphatides used in Dr. Maggie have been found useful in the following conditions: memory improvement, relief of manic symptoms, and reversal of liver damage.

13. If DR.MAGGIE™ is a better product, with more key nutrients than other products, why is it so much less expensive than other supplements?
DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat is manufactured in Canada. Its raw materials are purchased from Canadian sources. Therefore it has a substantial cost advantage over competitive products manufactured in the US due to the lower Canadian dollar. Animal Health Laboratories Ltd., the makers of DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat, do the research and product development, manufacturing and packaging in-house to avoid unnecessary mark-up costs. Animal Health has a policy of "value pricing" rather than charging "what the market will bear". This policy means that these savings are passed on to our customers.

14. What are the terms of the money back guarantee?
There is no risk in trying DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat. If you are not satisfied with the product for any reason, simply return the unused portion, along with your proof of purchase for a full refund. Your store may also have an exchange or credit policy.
Note to Retailers:
Animal Health Laboratories will replace or credit you for any returned product. If the product is returned to us we will perform a quality check.

15. My vet is recommending steroids for my dog's severe itching and inflamed skin. Can DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat help?
Before you resort to steroids we strongly recommend that you try DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat. With prolonged use, steroids have serious side affects and can damage your dog's liver, kidneys and heart. They are sometimes prescribed as a last resort when other diets and skin treatments fail. However, several of our test animals who were considered for steroid treatment, improved dramatically on DR.MAGGIE™Skin & Coat without steroids. In addition, it has none of the side effects of steroids, and will provide natural beneficial nutrition.

16. My dog has thyroid problems and a dry itchy coat. Can she take DR.MAGGIE™?
Yes. DR.MAGGIE’s™ all natural ingredients will not interact with other medications. Skin and coat problems often occur with thyroid dysfunction, and will help in most of these cases.

17. Does DR.MAGGIE™ prevent hairballs in cats?
Yes. Once your cat has been taking it for a few weeks she will be ingesting less hair because of reduced shedding. In addition, the oils in DR.MAGGIE™ Skin & Coat act as a lubricant to ease the elimination of hair. You do not need to give your cat any other hair ball medication.

18. My Labrador retriever gained 10 lb. while taking (another supplement). Will DR.MAGGIE™ contribute to weight gain?
No. DR.MAGGIE™ is formulated with lecithin, which aids in fat metabolization, and so it will not promote weight gain. We included lecithin primarily because pets need it to properly metabolize EFA’s, making DR.MAGGIE™ more effective than other supplements. However, it also will aid in burning the other fats in your pet’s diet. So not only will it not promote weight gain, it may help with weight loss in obese pets (not pets of normal weight).
Furthermore, because of the high quality ingredients used in DR.MAGGIE™ compared to the supplement your Labrador was taking, he was ingesting 3 times the calories he would need with DR.MAGGIE™ Skin & Coat. DR.MAGGIE™ is formulated to deliver the maximum nutritional benefits for the least amount of calories - and cost. Always check the dose when comparing ingredients and prices.

19. I have heard that soy, the main ingredient in DR.MAGGIE™ Skin & Coat is bad for dogs? Is this true?
Soy meal, which is sometimes used as a protein source in pet foods should be avoided. It can cause digestive upset in some pets. However, the soy oil used in DR.MAGGIE™ Skin & Coat has no soy or other protein. It is an excellent source of source of the EFA’s which are crucial to your pet’s health and appearance.
