Pure Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs & Cats – Omega 3 Skin & Coat Support – Liquid Food Supplement for Pets – Natural EPA + DHA Fatty Acids for Joint Function, Immune & Heart Health, 32 Fl Oz

Kitty Fur Balls: B-Gone. A decade+ ago, 2 newborn, sibling kittens, inner city-abandoned, were rescued by our caring police, turned over & nurtured through infancy by our local vet hospital. Sisters Silky & Sahsa adopted us, full of excitement & endless purring, when they were just 10 weeks old. They slept, ate, played, were perfectly potty trained, got spayed / had all their shots, & have filled our family with love & laughs, while gracefully growing into their 65 yr old human equivalency years. Our child (now adult) has progressed through elementary, middle school, HS, & has just graduated (away University) Magna Cum Laude with BA degree (while working continuously through all 4 yrs, straight A’s/ Deans list); & has immediately secured well paid employ. Naturally, we believe our cats enhanced & supported these successes (!) 😀We’ve always fed them highest quality, grain free food (dry), w fresh water every day. We live in Upstate NY (country / suburbs). They’re indoor, short haired, dark torties. Over the past few years, especially during Spring thaw into Summer heat & humidity, they’ve been hacking up loud, frequent, & (mostly) non-productive attempts to upchuck the fur plugs amassed in their complex, multi-stage, digestive innards. (“Complex” compared to humans.) Upon observation, cylindrical “plugs” of densely compacted fur are obvious, once expelled- Not stinky, not gross, not mixed w anything gross, just saliva.I googled around a bit, & quickly learned that these fur plugs are just *exactly* as commonly described by vets- cylindrical shaped, tangled masses of fur, (1-2″ long), compressed into this shape by the intestines, not gross at all, just fur coated with a little bit of spit (not vomit). Apparently, the fur is supposed to pass out the other end (in much smaller amounts, little by little) into the litterbox, before it ever reaches such a large, tightly compacted, defined mass of fur- And, IF cats need to throw it up, it’s supposed to dislodge & be expelled within 1-3 (-ish) attempts. Ongoing, “unproductive” upchuck attempts, are a warning sign that your cat’s digestive system is at extreme peril of complete blockage, is a medical emergency- potentially life threatening & may require immediate surgery- So, unbeknownst to me, my cats’ recent years of endless throwing up small-large amounts- sometimes of entire meals, other times just of frothy spit- were life-threatening warning signs! It seemed that they’d go on for a week-10 days, until finally expelling (vomiting) up a fur plug. Seriously, they’re unmistakable by size, shape, composition. 🙀. Cause to begin with, is excessive fur & Velcro hook-like tongues- They just swallow way too much of their own fur, when grooming.I should add here, that as much as we love our cats, I alone support my family / pay the bills. I’ve owned pets in the past, & have learned the hard way, that as much as we love our pets, I’m not a billionaire, not going to sacrifice our family’s entire financial security (& my own future retirement), on vet fees… That being said, I’m not heartless, I certainly don’t want our furry family members to suffer, unnecessarily.Google to the rescue again- I very quickly id’d *exact* symptoms, & was surprised to learn what an immediate, urgent, lethal condition this was (cat trying, unsuccessfully, to cough up a fur plug, from so deep inside their digestive systems).P-R-E-V-E-N-T-I-O-N is the key to alleviate suffering & avoid unnecessary early death by excruciating intestinal blockage.A few frequent recommendations stood out as totes feasible- i.e., mixing a teaspoon of canned, mashed pumpkin into their food for added fibre, to help them poop out accumulated fur (tip: freeze individual portions in ice-cube trays, thaw as needed- ingenious!); And or, mixing a small amount of healthy oil into their food (ie, up to 1 teaspoon/day leftover meat juices/oils, olive oil, fish oil, etc.). Yay Amazon! Reviews astutely warned against starting w too much all at once- 1 poor reviewer fed her tiny dog a teaspoon per meal to start with, he suffered severe diarrhea & dehydration for 2 weeks… I certainly wanted to avoid torturing my cat’s. In fact, our cats can pick out a fraction of a pill in a mound of yummy tuna, so I was very wary wether they’d eat food with this at all. So, I bought this small 8 oz bottle to begin with (even though price wise, larger bottles are a fraction of the cost per. ml.).1st day- Opened/unscrewed bottle, shook contents well, pumped standing oil in dispensing tube, back into bottle, re-shook, & re-pumped freshly shaken oil into their dry food- Just 2-3 drops. They sniffed, they liked, they gobbled! (It has NO strong fishy smell). After a few days- 1/2 pump onto food, mixed well. They loved it! I did a few days of 1/2 pumps, all OK. (Trick is to watch color & consistency of poops- If too much oil is given, stool will be lighter in color, looser, & supposedly buoyant in water). All was OK. I moved up to 1 full pump daily for several days, then 1.5, & now 2 (allowing several days each). We’re at 2 pumps/daily (2 cats: 11 lbs & 14 lbs). Directions on bottle indicate this is the proper amount for our little fur monsters, they like it, their fur is soffft, bowel habits ok. For now, it seems their stools are noticeably less dry, I imagine must pass easier/more comfortably. I’m a far cry from their age (65!), but for now, at the very least, I have to imagine pooping easier is a nice comfort, at their age! We’ll need to wait a month or 3 before we can discern wether there’s any intestinal benefit, though. I don’t want to overload their systems, by increasing the dosage- Ill stick with the manufacturer’s recommended daily dosage. It’s just SO easy to mix it in their food! I keep the bottle in the fridge with a zip lock bag. It stays liquid, & doesn’t solidify. They love it, no adverse effects, now we wait to see if it helps. Next time, I’ll buy the larger bottle! 😻

Where is the Pump. *Edited to add that Zesty Paws customer service is top notch. They responded to my review very quickly and professionally. I replied that I would even consider purchasing the pump at an addtional cost if they would offer it. Using measuring spoons is just too messy for me. Hopefully, they listen and bring back the pump :)I have been using this product for over a year for my dogs. They seem to enjoy it and both have beautiful coats. The last order I received did not include the pump. Customer service notes that this was based upon consumer complaints that it was leaking. I suspect it has more to do with cutting costs since most recent complaints are about the pump being excluded. Please bring back the pump. It is much easier to use and less messy than measuring spoons. Or at least offer one for purchase separately. Until then, I will look for alternative salmon oil.

Probably the best dog fish oil out there, at least that I’ve found. I have tried many different fish oils for dogs, this is probably the best one. I noticed a difference in my dogs coat, it really helped him a lot. I also removed all grain and poultry which may have contributed to his overall health, but he looks a lot better.I got the dog in November 2022 and he had severe allergies to something, not sure what. I took away grain and poultry and added this brand of salmon oil and the pictures show the results in 6 months.Not a fan of the new packaging without the pump but I totally get why they had to do it. I just feel like I use too much now that I don’t have the pump count, because who really sits there and measures it out?? No one.

Great product, but the packaging fails (even with a pump). I usually just buy fish oil in pill form and break them open to put in my dogs food. I figured this would be easier. It’s not. I have a small dog and only need a very small amount (like 2 drops), and both the pump and the pour top make this a messy and difficult task. I had to buy some eye dropper bottles to use this with instead. If it wasn’t for that, this would be 5 stars. My small dog doesn’t notice it in his food, my cat loves it, and my other larger dog likes it when I add a few drops on a dog biscuit. It really helps them all with their skin and coats.

PHENOMENAL!! The results speak for themselves. My senior dogs look fabulous. Once in a year or so I write a review on Amazon. I’m going to have to give it up to this Salmon Oil product. My goodness! It’s not that expensive and it lasts a good amount for two large dogs that I have. I’m still on the first bottle. My 9 year old is a Dalmatian/GS mix, but looks like a black lab. She’s a shorthaired beauty, and this summer she shedded nonstop; even with lots of grooming and baths, her coat looked dull and she had a bunch of itchy hotspots behind her ear, belly, and whisker area. She was miserable when she couldn’t relieve her itch. I tried dog hydrocortisone spray and she hates anything that sprays. She scratched the back of her ear with her thick claws so much it left a bad wound! 😞 I started adding the oil to their food. In just as little as two weeks I saw a huge difference in her fur! It was glistening!!! It’s been 3 weeks now, and her wound completely healed, I couldn’t even figure out where it used to be. She isn’t scratching anymore, and her black fur – it’s so glossy and shiny that it could blind you. Lol . As far as my other dog, my 13 year old Chow/GS mix, her fur is much softer and easier to comb , looks like a Farrah Fawcett blow out. Even for senior dogs – it can still make them look gorgeous. I’m satisfied with this product a lot. I would buy it for my friends who have dogs. I wish I had taken a “before” pic to show you the difference.

His coat has never been shinier. Our vet recommended fish oil for our Frenchie’s joints. He has been on this for 4 months and his coat is so healthy and shiny. I can’t tell if it’s working to help his joints, because he can’t tell me if his joints hurt, but he doesn’t walk or move like he has joint pain. I would recommend it for a healthy coat and joints. I agree with what the others have said, the bottle does leak, even if you pour from the flip top on the cap. You have to keep a paper towel underneath or wipe it off after every pour to avoid getting it on your counter. Also, I would recommend increasing the dosage amount very, very, slowly, otherwise your dog could get diarrhea. It took several months for my dog to be able to tolerate the full dose. I think it is a good value for the money, and I will definitely continue to use it.

Great Supplement. I’ve been giving my dog the Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for a few weeks now, and the results are amazing! Her coat is shinier and softer, and she’s scratching a lot less. She also seems to love the taste—I just pump it onto her food, and she eats it right up. It’s a great way to support her skin, coat, and overall health. Highly recommend this for any pet owner looking to add a healthy boost to their dog’s diet!

Not stinky. Add to dog’s food to promote skin health. Nice, shiny coat, dot approves, and it doesn’t stink.
