Can you help me understand how is this product different and/or better than all the other "Fish Oils" on market &amp; at Pet Smart?

i haven't compared this product with the others that you mentioned. when i adopted my first greyhound ten years ago, the vet recommended this product as greyhounds have notoriously dry skin. everyone always commented on the smoothness and gloss of his coat and on that of my current greyhound's as well. good luck in your decision.

Sorry that I can't answer your immediate question, but check out this site. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/14/is-krill-oil-48-times-better-than-fish-oil.aspx I don't know if it's a truthful review or biased in some way. I have taken the krill oil for the last several months and I feel better than ever. I even cut back to 1 capsule a day. The problem is omega 3 is a product that works in the background and doesn't present immediate benefits. So whether it's the krill oil or something else, I can't be certain. You might investigate web sites to get a better response to your question.

There is no difference. My previous purchase of this product cost $23.97 for a pack of 3. Now the price by this vendor, which was originally supplied directly from Amazon is now $40.99. It has almost doubled. What a shame! I originally started to use it to make cat food for my Mr. Pumpkin before he died of lymphoma. Now I use it along with omega 3 oil capsules to keep a feral colony of cats on an increased fat diet for the winter. They love the oil and are all doing so well on it! Hope this helps!

I will post an answer to my own question in case helps someone--I bought both the 100+30 pills of "Super Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate" and the 300 pill bottle of the "Super Omega-3 GEMS Fish Oil Concentrate" and they are EXACTLY the SAME thing. In fact the smaller bottles I received also have the word "GEMS" on the label now too, unlike the bottle pictured. It appears the addition of the word Gems is just the newer label. What is also interesting is that the price per pill was a little better with the 2 smaller bottles, at least on the day I purchased.! Worth doing the math--bigger package is not always the better price!

I'm looking at the back of the bottle. According to the label, the guaranteed analysis breaks down as: Crude fat (min) 67%, moisture (max)3%, Total Omega 3 fatty acids (min)21%, EPA (min) 10%, DHA (min) 6%. Ingredients are: anchovy oil, sardine oil, gelatin, water, glycerin, d-alpha tocopherol (a preservative). Nordic Naturals is based out of Canada. I don't know if they only distribute it from there or if their processing plant is also there. I do recommend it, though. My dog has been on it for about 2 years now and it's made such a difference in his coat and claws, that I started taking their human version. I'm looking at the back of the bottle.

It has many benefits, including skin and coat. Here is a link to more info it it will allow me to post it, it's worth the read...http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/15_9/features/Fish-Oil-Supplements-For-Dogs_20600-1.html

Basically that means 30% is the desired Omega oils present. In other words these are 1000 mg. fish oil tablets but there only 300 mg of omegas present. Hence, the 30%. The rest are fillers - there are better products but they will cost you - this is a natural product so it comes to a budget decision. It seems to work for me and I'm on a pension. Remember fine chocolate is in % so it's not a bad thing.

It is pure fish oil with lemon and peppermint essences added for flavor and vitamin E (alpha-tocopheral) added for extra vitamins and to extend shelf-life. If you don't like the flavor of fish, there's good chance you'll still like this. I detest fish but want the benefits, so I found a way around the flavor - I freeze it in a small tupperware container, scoop out a tsp, slide it off onto the very back of my tongue, then take a big swig of hot tea and swallow. Works like a charm!

My bottle states 1000mg fish oil. My dog is doing well on it and she has severe allergies. She also loves it and definitely lets us know whe it's pill time. We put a little peanut butter on it but I think she would take it all by itself.

Chris, where did you read that? It would be helpful to know so that I can make an educated decision on whether to keep buying these for my dog. Thanks.

I usually get the salmon oil and have not recieved this yet (comes tomorrow- recycled my old bottle last trash day). I noted that some others responded to similar questions on the product site in Amazon. I think my dogs like the salmon oil better but I like to switch it up alittle. They love both.

http://www.missinglinkproducts.com/products/dog/product/42-the-missing-link-ultimate-canine-hip-joint-coat-formula-for-large-adult-dogs-1-lb-pouchThis is the link for the product I bought. I called the company because the label was different and I wanted to make sure I was getting the same product. They told me they had changed the label recently and it was the same product. They also explained that the Omega 3 and 6 Plus Glucosamine were the ingredients that helped with the shedding. I recommend you contact them if you have ingredient specific questions. I has greatly reduced both of my dog's shedding. I hope this helps.

Hi Linda, By comparison I'm sorry, I don't know.... I have had both but didn't do a fine comparison enough to answer you properly. For me, it works, and it is a little stronger I believe since I can control how much water I put in the tank now (meaning how much I dilute it). I tend to use a bit of the the pet odor remover mixed in with the regular shampoo generally anyway..... just seems to work for me better overall (and I don't have pets but it takes odors from food stains away just as well).

Hi! I recently rescued a dog with skin allergies that turned into a skin infection. He was on benedryl, antibiotics, petco healthy skin vitamins, AND fish oil. I switched to purina's sensitive skin and everything got alot better but I was concerned he still had some itching and there were still troublesome ingredients. I went to a highly reputable local dog food seller and after hearing all the options and reading rave reviews chose TOTW Pacific stream. It was 40 dollars for a 33 lb bag. in less than a week my dog stopped itching, dandruff went away, and he had more energy than ever! no more vet bills, medicine, or twice daily pills! yes its a little more expensive but the Pacific Stream formula saved me and my dog from serious stress from allergies! All his fur has grown back and I get daily compliments from strangers on walks about how great his coat looks! i only have him on Pacific stream, but I know that one helps with allergies

If you're looking for a real good quality fish oil that is enteric coated and contains absolutely no fishy aftertaste I would recommend you look into this one Zahler Omega 3 Platinum 3000mg, Triple Strength All-Natural Pure Fish Oil Supplement, Burpless Softgel with No Fishy Aftertaste, Highest in EPA and DHA, The #1 Strongest Best Quality Fish Oil, Certified Kosher,60 Caps I've seen great results on this fish oil and I had no issue taking them. It's a real good quality Omega 3.

The Grizzly Salmon Oil is listed by % on the label: DHA 11.0% (min.) and EPA 10.0% (min.). Your vet may be able to tell you if this product will meet the requirements. I also use a product from Nature's Farmacy West: "Dogzymes Ultimate" and it has the ingredients listed in mg. on the label; it is a dry blend that you mix in with the meal. We have been using both products for several years, with successful results. :)

I don't know. However their products were highly recommended to me years ago for their potency and I've taken them ever since. The Omega 3 is excellent. My opinion, I think their products are first class. I hope this helps you.
