Missing Link or similar supplement?

I just started my little one on Dream Coat. It's supplement made by the Halo Pet company. You may want to look at the ingridents and read the reviews from this link.

Perri wouldn't eat fish oil because of the smell either until I tried the Iceland Pure salmon oil. It doesn't have a smell and he eats it without a problem. Here is the site link: Iceland Pure[/B]

Thank you I will definately check it out!

That's a good product too. BTW, Nordic Naturals has both animal and human supplements. I don't use Cod liver oil for Nikki, but I have used the human products for her, a few times a week.[/B]

Which human supplements do you use for your Malt? I've only looked at the pet supplements so far. I know it's a good brand, my mom takes some of them.

These are good. I don't use the Nordic naturals regularly, just once in a while as Nikki regularly gets dehydrated wild salmon treats and hemp oil.

For the Omega 3 you can use Flax oil, and it comes in liquid form available in Wal-Mart for I think about $4[/B]

What about plain flax seeds? I have some organic flax seeds I bought to cook with.

Whole seeds are like corn - a little hard to digest. If they are milled I don't think it would be an issue. I used the oil for Star - about 1/3 tsp for his size daily. I started giving him salmon oil, but I didn't care for his fishy breath.

We use healthy motion for joint suppliment - Hunter likes it a lot and I feel like its working. We have only been using it for about 2 months but he is waking up less stiff.

the omega 3 is better as cod liver is not anti-inflammatory and it is high in vitamin A and definitely not good for dogs with liver disease

http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Pet_Produ...0/For_Your_Pet/ this one for people or pet - always heard capsules best as liquid can get rancid faster.

hemp oil has perfect 3-6-9 ratio but for anti-inflammatory omega 3 is best - if using hemp nutiva is an excellent brand

wild anchovies and sardines these two are suppose to be a great source of omega 3 along with salmon oil

I just never recommend supplementing a dog with fatty acids that has had pancreatitis as it can cause pancreatitis and happened to a yorkie on my group a week ago from salmon oil but she had had pancreatitis twice before and after salmon oil supplement she got it again

For the nordic naturals, do you use the pet products? Do you use the cod liver oil of the gel caps? Are the gel caps small enough for a Maltese? I've tried Salmon Oil and Fish Oil before. The Salmon Oil stinks something awful and none of my pets seem to like it, not even the cats. The fish oil capsules were too big and had to be punctured, which again was smelly and messy. I've also heard that some fish oils can give the dog an odor, have you noticed this with Nordic Naturals?[/B]
