JAJ2010 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If I make a big fuss about a Super Special Yummy Treat both my girls just eat the fish oil pills. I wonder if salmon oil might work for him and interest his tummy. Is he on any other meds that could make his belly feel not great? I just started giving Sunshine two pepto pills a day. One in the am and one with dinner. She was properly hungrier in two days. Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeofNE Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I use Grizzly Salmon oil, in a pump. That way you get the oil the dog needs without the gel cap material you don't. I don't believe there is ANY food that has sufficient quantity of omega fatty acids to be all that beneficial on its own. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

RedHead Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The fish oil supplements are higher in omegas than just eating plain fish or most other foods. So...I would continue with the oil. I don't use the capsules, none of my dogs will eat them willingly. I use the squirt pumps. My one dog hates the smell and taste, so I squirt some in with some other smelly food to disguise it. Since there is no capsule they eat it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAJ2010 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I just thought of this! Salmonears.com I buy my dog food off the guy who makes them :-) Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 http://www.doggiefood.com/lakrwicprsao.html this is where i buy my cold pressed salmon oil- lakse kronche. the blurb on the page does a good job describing it. i buy 88oz at a clip, 2 dogs- 4 squirts per dog daily- 2 bottles a year is what we consume. doggiefood does free shipping if the order is over $50. they seem to have just about the best price intown. my dogs have good coat, moist skin w/ this- it takes around 6 weeks to see the difference. are you looking for the omegas for skin and coat or slo?

Walliered Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There is a little "cheap grocery" store near me and little jars of baby food are $.20 and the larger jars are $.40. They love beef and macaroni, chicken and gravy and turkey and gravy. I just give them about a little more than a teaspoon and I push in pill into it and smooth it over with the baby food. It works like a charm. There is no sugar or another junk in baby food, so it is really safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8kids Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The oil is the best, you can give them the canned fish or fresh fish but becareful with too much b/c of the mercury that can be in the farm raised fish. Also becareful w/getting the kibble w/a lot of fish for they use the preservative that can have some carcinogens. The preservative has to be used on the boats transporting the fish b/c it can cause the boats to explode from the gas of the fish. I give mine liquid oil, split a can of tuna or sardines, fresh frozen fish or an egg, a little variety for them to get the omegas!
