Fish Oil Question

[SunDance]

won't matter, if I get capsules I'll just use peanut butter and get him to swallow it, same as I do with his Trifexis.
thanks to everyone.
now........ do you give one a day? have you noticed any difference in your dog? It's so easy to get into supplements and wonder if we're really making any difference.

Two different vets suggested twice a day as an anti-inflammatory measure. It was originally prescribed for Sunnie as support for her liver (had high enzymes of unknown cause...resolved after a course of Denamarin and has been fine since) and confirmed as good for both. Neither of mine can stomach such things as glucosamine, flax, MSM, etc. so I figure the fish oil is a good idea to continue.

They also have great skin/coats and no flakes ever.

I used to just bite a hole in the gel caps, and squeeze into the food bowl.

Now, I just give her salmon, which she loves, and in the morning I share my smoked fish with her, which is high in Omegas.

You found the first fish Rocco will eat, smoked salmon,ah..... it's $25. lb. here, not sure we can make a steady treat of it.

If you give the Costco/ Kirkland fish oil, you probably should also add Vit E to balance it since the fish oil can cause a vit E depletion otherwise. I give my dogs all 2 fish oils + 1 Vit E daily.

I also use the human variety. Piper gets two and Rooney one for now. I poke a hole and squeeze it over the top; they seem to like it that way and anything to make Piper's food more exciting!
