I've tried fish oil in the past for the girls but haven't had much luck. Riley doesn't care for it on her food, whether I squeeze a capsule or buy the bottle of oil. And then, of course, when she does finally eat it, she runs all over the house and wipes her oily face all over the furniture, carpet, and her beds.

However, her skin gets so dry in the winter that it flakes. We ran out of her good conditioner last week and kicked off the cycle of flakes

I found these Omega-3 chewables. The big difference in ingredients between the gel caps and the chewables is the lack of actual fish oil in the chewables, but they do have the two Omega-3s. I am not familiar enough with this subject to determine if this would be enough to help her.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
