| Coconut oil & Krill oil. It doesn't stink like fish oil & krill oil is superior to fish oil, easily absorbed by the body too. Coconut oil would be great for those that can't tolerate fish oil, since it's plant based. I give both, switch it around.

| I would have to say coconut oil. There's quite a few benefits such as helping aid pets digestion, improve their coats, help prevent infection and more. |

| Another benefit of krill oil is the omega 3's, which coconut oil doesn't have. It fights inflammation, good for the brain, eyes, heart, joints, skin & hair...boosts the immune system, a powerful antioxidant & free radical fighter. Coconut oil has some amazing benefits also. Here's a few threads on it: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...conut-oil.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...conut-oil.html

| Coconut oil. I've tried both on Tatiana, and coconut oil is more effective -- no more itchy skin and shining coat. It works in a few days. Also, Tatiana has a problem with eating fish oil (and fish, in general). Sometimes it makes her vomit. Tatiana has no problem with coconut oil. |
