Lol...sorry, I see your query now! The DHA and EPA are the two active ingredients that you want, whether suspended within the fish oil, or extracted and placed into chewable form. These two fatty acids are the workhorses that perform the maintenance in skin repair and produce the anti-inflammatory assistance. The fish oil is essentially just the medium which contains the fatty acids. Both the gels and the chewables contain the same amount of these properties so that is great. Plus they both contain Tocopherols which is a form of Vitamin E needed when supplementing with fish oil fatty acids EPA and DHA ; do to the metabolism of E during the absorbtion of these fatty acids. Normally the "fish oil" gels contain more EPA and DHA than the chewables but these are equal in their mg, so if they are working for your pups I would continue using the chewables. Especially if you do not have to deal with little oily mouths...
