Guest kar Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Can you give omega three fish oil human capsule to dogs? If so what dosage would you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have for years. I use the Kirkland brand (Costco), same stuff I take myself. Just make sure it's in their vet records, along with any other supplements. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).

Guest kar Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 how many capsules do you give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carronstar Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I gave Aquitaine 2-3 for years, same with Morgaine and Scarlett. I switched to the dog version with the pump bottle with Tallulah...it is messier because the bottle sometimes drips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it's in their vet records, along with any other supplements. Same here. I take 2 capsules a day and give the dogs 2 a day as well, with the vet's blessing.

DonnaBehr Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I get mine at CVS for us and the dogs since it's usually BOGO. They get 1200 mg twice a day - same as we get.

TINMANPDX Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I used to use salmon oil, but found it easier and less messy to give them the Same stuff I take (Vitacost brand).

PatricksMom Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just make sure it's vitamin E stabilized (Tocopherols). Only the dirt cheap human ones aren't, but when I last did the research, the fish oil can actually do some harm without it. I like the capsules because of the lack of mess and smell. Henry eats his just fine, Leo thinks they are the best thing ever and roots around in his food dish every meal to eat them first. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).

PatricksMom Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Google the other ingredients, it has several variant names that all start with T. If it really doesn't have any, I'd choose another brand. It's in virtually all of them so it shouldn't be hard to find. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).

GreytNut Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I've had great results with the Pure Alaska Omega wild-caught Alaskan salmon oil sold at Sam's Club (and other places; it's not exclusive). The capsules are 1,000 mg each and I give them twice a day, one with each meal. If you're looking for the very best and price is not a concern, Andrew Lessman's Maximum Essential Omega-3 from ProCaps Labs is the bomb. I take that for my psoriasis and it has worked wonders. If I could afford to also give it to all 3 dogs I would.

4My2Greys Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Fish oil when taken on a regular basis depletes the body's store of Vitamin E. The amount of Vitamin E typically found in fish oil is only sufficient for preserving it. You actually need to supplement with Vitamin E when taking or giving fish oil on a regular basis. I give Chase 2000 mg (720 EPA/480 DHA ) fish oil from Life Extension along with 200 IU of Vitamin E with mixed tocopherols twice a day.

PatricksMom Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 it has it it is calledTocopherols That's Vitamine E--don't know why they can't use the normal name anymore. Should be fine.
