Up until I lost my twelve year old companion German Shepherd I used
fish oil for her coat and joints. She had arthritis and her coat had
gotten dull, bad eye sight... so I bought some fish oil (omega3 fatty
acids) and I couldn't believe the difference in her. I'm very
impressed with how it helped her. Her coat turned back to the same
colors it had been when she was a pup, she ate more, even her eye
sight seemed to improve. Just thinking of Susie makes me want to cry.
She's only been gone for six months.
I am posting this message for those of you who have an older dog.
Making their last years comfortable is important. The effects of omega
3 have been studied on humans and giving it to your pet is just as
beneficial. If you do use it, make sure that you don't leave any
leftover food sitting in the bowl, discard it after your pet is done
eating to avoid food poisoning. It is fish oil and feeding your pet
outside or in the porch might help if you don't like the smell.
I do know that it helped my Susie have some healthier and more
energetic days with less arthritic pain. I met the Man that produced
this product (http://www.lazers.biz/) specifically for he and his
wife's pet, Lazer, a beautiful Greyhound Rescue. I saw the before and
after effects of this oil and that dog went from being starved,
neglected and abused to being a beautiful, trusting and Very Healthy
dog. I truly believe in what that oil did for my Susie and I am
thankful for having met Gordon, Lois and Lazer. What they have done
for the love of their dog is awesome.

I'm sure that Ex-racing Greyhound, Lazer is quite thankful too!

I doubt it; dogs generally don't think that way. Who starved,
neglected and abused him, by the way?

That dog is an ex racer. Do some research on Greyhounds and racetracks!

I might suggest the same thing to you. I run a greyhound rescue group
and have been to quite a number of racetracks. How many have you been
to, and toured behind the scenes? I'm anti-racing (though I do love
to watch the dogs run, and most of them love to run), but I can tell
you this: trainers of racing greyhounds do not starve, neglect and/or
abuse the dogs in their care. If they did, the dogs wouldn't/couldn't
run, and if they can't run, the trainers don't get paid. There are
exceptions to this rule, of course, just as there are exceptions to
every rule (for example, adopters of ex-racing greyhounds are usually
responsible pet owners, but sometimes they starve, overfeed, neglect,
and/or abuse their dogs). When those exceptions are discovered,
they're thrown out of the industry, because the industry doesn't need
anyone who will make it look bad.

Rescue/adoption groups who tell the public that racing dogs are abused
usually are looking for pity donations, pity adoptions or both.

Poor Sally! Caught once again mouthing off about something she knows
nothing about. BTW, I can't believe that you didn't know that feeding fish
oil to a Greyhound would make it go from being starved, neglected and abused
to being beautiful, trusting and very healthy.

I have to tell you, Suja, I turned 50 last week, and I'm very
embarassed that by this age I didn't know feeding fish oil could have
such miraculous results. So I guess if they'd fed fish oil to that
dog on the track, then he wouldn't have been starved, neglected and
abused? I am hoping that hadleysgirl will educate me on greyhounds
and racetracks!

But seriously, Fur Paw's point about large fish oil is a very good
one. Perhaps that natural wild salmon oil isn't as good as it's
cracked up to be.

Don't you have a couple of spooks you can experiment on? They could
un-spook themselves if only you fed a goodly amount of fish oil.

BTW, with having doggie visitors of late, I've seen some strange reactions
to fish oil capsules. Luna would bite it, drop it on the ground and roll in
it (resulting in a bath). Satchmo who is *terribly* food motivated just
gummed it around, figured it to be non-food, and spit it out. My two always
crunch into them and eat them as treats. Haven't known a dog that didn't.

But seriously, Fur Paw's point about large fish oil is a very good

Absolutely. I've been feeding the dogs fish oil capsules from Costco -
fancy stuff gets expensive when you're feeding 1000 mg/10 pounds of body
weight. The label says it's made from anchovy, sardines and mackarel, so
we're good on that front.

One of the reasons that I buy online is that the local
feed store only carries salmon-based fish oils, which I
think is the norm for fish oil supplements for pets.

Is there a difference between fish oil supplements for pets and humans?
IIRC, the last time I compared, the difference was more in the
packaging/marketing/price than in contents.

I doubt it. I buy it by the quart, though.

Some people are judgmental hypocrites! I don't own the site and the
people that own that site don't know that I even posted that message.

So you pissed off a whole bunch of people and lost the sellers of
this oil some potential business? How nice of you!

If you have absolutely no commercial interest in the product, if
you will not make even the teensiest profit from the product, why
didn't you put a disclaimer to that effect in your original post?
