I have been giving Myrtle a 400IU vitamin E gelcap daily for over six 
years and seem to get the same effects.

She was a year old when she came to live with me, and, so far, knock 
on wood, has not experienced the skin problems my two previous hound 
ladies had.  Her coat is very soft.

Mabel came to live with us in the summer of 2008 as a 
semi-rescue.  She is perhaps a year older.  We give her the same 
dose.  They think they are treats.  Mabel's coat has become very 
soft, too, but it took several years for this to happen.

Strange, when Myrtle chews her gelcap, it crunches.
