Fish Oil

Pete, Dosage recommendations come with it.

So is it the Omega 6 or the Omega 3 or a combination of both in dog food that makes the coats shiny?
My wife is hung up on a particular brand of food that in my opinion isnt as good of a quality food and costs alot more just because she thinks it makes their coats shinnier.

thank you for your input. I am using omega3 caps 1000mg , twice per/week , was concerned about 1,000mg on a 25 pound dog. So only twice weekly for now. So far big improvement., I have 200 of these caps, so i guess I'll stick with these for awhile.

Mike, I finished my bottle of tonekote and had a large bottle of fish oil pills so I started using them. Dogs look good, but I can't tell you which is better. My question for you is where do you get the omega 3 caps and are they intended for human or canine consumption?

Tractor Supply, for canine use, but the ones for human consumption appear to be identical, and the price is the same for 200, 1000mg.

does anyone add omega-3 fish oil capsules to their hounds feed ? If so , how often and what size capsules? 1000 mg is all i see offered. thanks

yes 1000mg twice a week during the winter and once a week during the summer UNLESS the feed we are using gets the job done,lot of feeds now have the Omega 3 and 6 in them if thats the case then we will feed them a capsule once a month..The Dogs love em!!

btw , I followed TC's advice and only give it to each dog twice per/week , and is working out very nicely.
