I'm not sure where to post this but there have been a few posts about giving dogs fish oil supplements. I ran across this rating of different fish oil supplements and thought it might be useful.
And for humans... if you click on the tab about fish, mercury and PCBs, you'll find what fish are safe to eat. We eat alot of fish and it is good to know which salmon to buy, etc.
After teaching Science, I have a high mercury level in my system. Students spilled it all over the classroom twice!
I have to be very careful myself.....let alone for the dogs. Be sure to check labels.
GNC sells stuff that's mercury free.
Another question about fish oil:
At my last appointment, whoops, I mean at Boo's last appointment the vet said I could give him fish oil. But she said that I should give fish oil capsules, and that they need to be swallowed whole. That I shouldn't break them open or anything. But I can't remember what the reason was. Does anyone know?
Also, does anyone give fish oil to their doodles in non-capsule form? Can you get fish oil in a bottle?
--------- Oops, I didn't realize this post was in the Breeders section. (I found it doing a search for "fish oil"). Should I move it/delete it? Sorry :roll:
We buy Grizzly Salmon Oil - it's wild Alsaskan salmon oil that comes in a large squirt bottle. The label tells you how many squirts to give depending on the dog's weight.
Only a few pet stores here sell it but you can get it online too.
I EAT FISH YUMMY. Sardines, Mackerel, Tuna, Salmon all have high Omega 3 which is great for my skin and coat.
dr katz sez: Throw your Doodle a fish once a week!
