Oh good!! I've heard great things about Nordic Naturals. I got the Omega-3 Liquid for Cats & Small Breed Dogs just because it said "unflavored". You know how picky Yoshi is. Here's the thing...the website directions for the liquid are: 1.0 mL (138mg EPA/83mg DHA) for a 5-9lb dog. 
Soft gel directions are: 1 soft gel for every 20 lbs & 1 soft gel = 150mg EPA/90mg DHA. Half of that for a 10lb dog would be 75mg EPA/45mg DHA. So the soft gel dosage instructions contain considerably less omegas than the liquid. The ingredients seem the same...anchovy oil, sardine oil & d-alpha tocopherol. But the soft gels also contain water & glycerin. So why is it that they suggest feeding a higher dosage of omegas depending on the product? Am I reading the instructions/ingredients incorrectly? Or is my math totally wrong? I'm so confused Did I buy the wrong one?
