| There's all sorts you can choose from. Some members on here sell it also. I buy Salmon Oil from OnlyNaturalPet.com Only Natural Pet Pure Icelandic Salmon Oil for Dogs & Cats It doesn't smell like fish, so that's a plus. I've only used it for a couple of weeks so I'm not too sure how well it works for the coat... I've noticed her dry flaky skin has gone down a lot though.

| I use Sea Pet because it also contains Vitamin E....I've read a couple of articles that says the body uses up vitamin e when processing the omega 3's so adding some back into the diet is beneficial..... Omega 3 Fish Oil with Natural Vitamin E by Sea Pet 8 oz., Dog Vitamins & Supplements

I use Ark Naturals Royal Coat as I wanted a fish oil, but I also wanted a particular fatty acid called GLA - which is found in borage oil (and other things). This oil also contains vit A/D/E.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I always used Grizzly Salmon Oil for my babies but stopped when I switched from RAW back to dry kibble because they wouldn't eat their dry kibble with the Salmon Oil on it. I just ordered a pound of the Seameal (Solid Gold) so we'll see how that goes - it is supopsed to work WONDERS for babies with allergies (like my Tatum)

| I either "poke" or cut a small hole in one end of the capsule and gently squeeze the oil on to the food. The capsule is digestible but it's easier to give your little one the oil mixed in with the food.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You can get it online at Only Natural Pet. Or, you can get it at Whole Foods and some other health food stores. I give about 1/2 the minimum dose per day.

| Thanks! I'm looking for something all natural to help with my baby's itchies from her liver disease and crappy prescription food that she has to eat. This salmon oil and borage oil is ok for her liver? I read that salmon oil is great for liver compromised dogs, but I haven't heard of the borage before? |

"Borage seed oil is derived from the seeds of the Borago officinalis (borage). It is used medicinally as an anti-inflammatory, for treating arthritis, as well as certain skin conditions (e.g. atopic dermatitis) and respiratory inflammation.[1] It has one of the highest amounts of gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6) of seed oils - higher than blackcurrant seed oil or evening primrose oil, to which it is considered similar. GLA makes up around 24% of the oil typically. A specific extraction process may offer purified products with 50%+ GLA content." As for her liver, I'd love to answer that for you - but I'd run it by her vet. I would guess that since she can have oils in general, however, that borage would be okay...but I'd double check.
