Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | If it were me, I would skip both of these and instead give Eicosaderm - which is fish oil w/ vitamin E. Both of the supps you mention are fairly good, but they both contain flax which is a grain derivative (some dogs cannot convert flax - so not only do they get NO benefit from the Omegas, they then also get the itchies from the grain). Show Stopper also contains a whole lot of other stuff that could be potential allergens as well, so you just never know what you're getting into there. If you're looking for skin/fur benefits and Essential Fatty Acids - go simple/clean/pure - and stick w/ a fish oil and vitamin - that's my vote! Btw, you can get Eicosaderm at vetamerica.com.

| I would have to agree. Fish oil and vitamin E is a good way to go.

| Do you purchase the 8 or 32 oz bottle? How many squirts do you put on their food? Does it have to be kept in the fridge like the missing link? Ive been using ML and I don't find that it bother Autumn but Blaze is itchy a lot!

| i have 8oz bottle. You only need half a pump per day. you don't really need to keep them in the fridge. As long is is a dry and cool place. If you want, you can keep it in the fridge too. 8oz. will last you forever. I have 2 girls and it still last me for a long time!
