A powder formulation with Saccharomyces boulardii, omega-3s, and turmeric for overall health and I used this mixture to help relieve itching and skin infection in my darling second-hand sausage dog. Hence, Otto’s blend! Here's why each ingredient is beneficial:
- Saccharomyces boulardii: A probiotic yeast that supports gut health, helps manage diarrhoea, and can improve overall digestion and immune function.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Essential for reducing inflammation, supporting joint health, skin, and coat condition, and aiding cognitive function.
- Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, turmeric can help with joint pain, inflammation, and overall health.
Suggested Formulation for a 2.5g Dose:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: 1.5g (from fish oil powder or algae)
- Saccharomyces boulardii: 0.25g
- Turmeric: 0.75g and piperazine decoloured (if possible, to prevent staining)
Dosage Recommendations:
- Small Dogs (1-10 kg): 2.5g per day
- Medium Dogs (10-25 kg): 2.5g to 5g per day (split into 1 or 2 doses)
- Large Dogs (25-45 kg): 5g to 7.5g per day (split into 1 or 2 doses)
- Extra Large Dogs (45+ kg): 7.5g to 10g per day (split into 1 or 2 doses)

Closing
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids (1.5g from fish oil powder or algae): Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining a healthy coat and skin, reducing inflammation, and supporting joint health. They also play a crucial role in brain function and can help improve cognitive function in dogs.
- Saccharomyces boulardii (0.25g): This is a probiotic yeast that supports gut health by balancing the intestinal flora. It can be particularly helpful in preventing or treating diarrhea and other digestive issues, which in turn can boost the immune system.
- Turmeric (0.75g) with Piperazine Decoloured: Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can help reduce inflammation, support joint health, and potentially lower the risk of chronic diseases. Piperazine is usually included to enhance the absorption of turmeric, although it may not be necessary to include if the primary goal is to avoid staining from turmeric.
How It Promotes Well-being in Dogs:
- Anti-inflammatory Support: Both Omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric are potent anti-inflammatories. This can help reduce pain and discomfort from conditions like arthritis or skin allergies, leading to improved mobility and quality of life.
- Digestive Health: Saccharomyces boulardii helps maintain a healthy gut, which is essential for nutrient absorption, a strong immune system, and overall health.
- Cognitive and Skin Health: Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain health, helping to keep your dog mentally sharp. They also contribute to a healthy, shiny coat and hydrated skin.
Overall, this combination can be very beneficial in promoting a dog's well-being, especially when focusing on inflammation, digestive health, and skin/coat condition. As always, it's a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before adding new supplements to ensure they are appropriate for your dog's specific health needs.
