DVMS - What fish oil do you recommend for dogs?

[meupatdoes]

Any dog vets on COTH have a good fish oil recommendation that is a quality supplement and not just fancy packaging?

My 20lb terrier has been suspected of having SLO (toenail lupus, for the unitiated) by the emergency vet I took him to when he was three legged last night, but his primary can’t get him in until July 3 and I’d like to do whatever I can for him in the meantime.

I researched online and saw that fish oil is commonly given in these cases, so I’d like to put him on the best quality fish oil I can find.

His regular diet is Wellness Core Ocean and he is currently on 100mg of gabapentin 2x per day for pain management, in case that matters.

Any recommendations?

The best alternative therapies vet in my area recommends Nordic naturals:

My vet recommends coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil. It’s economical and easy to pick up at the grocery store. I use the EVOO at 1 tsp per 20lbs. My dog happily eats it drizzled over her kibble. Salmon oil is great too, just a lot more expensive.

There is NO omega 3 in coconut oil at all, and very little in olive oil Either could be used solely as a fat source, but certainly not as an omega 3 source.

Nordic Naturals. good stuff.

Nordic Naturals is considered top of the line for the fish based products

. You can share with your dog, which is a bonus. You might need to do a slow trial run, if your dog is anything like me, the fish based oils can bounce back.

I have to use Gm of Omega 3 /day for my eyes and the fish products were not friendly to the stomach. Flax oil delivers the same O 6/3 and might be easier on the tummy. Plus it is fairly economical.

nice thing about most of these is that the capsule can be pierced with a needle and squirted on food.

My vet uses Nordic Naturals. I have 2 dogs that will eat the capsules along with their food, and one that I have to puncture the capsule for.
