Can you help me understand how is this product different and/or better than all the other "Fish Oils" on market & 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.

I was using fish oil capsules and had to open them each day to use them. My vet recommended this instead.

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

Not at all! My mother uses this kind now, she used to use salmon oil for her dog and mentioned how less smelly it is. My dogs have always used this oil, I find it doesn't have an odor either.

As far as I know, they are essentially the same product, just marketed differently. I buy whichever is on special and they seem equally effective. Some folks use the diffusers on timers, but I plug mine in only at stressful times, such as when company or repairmen are coming. The 2 diffusers that don't impress me are "Pet Ease" (which I believe to be essential oils rather than pheromones) and Nutri-Vet, which has a pungent odor.

IT IS INDEED. MY 5 DOGS LOVE IT AND NO FISHY ODOR. MUCH SUPERIOR TO ANY OF THE "SO-Called" salmon oils I tried before. Been using this for a couple of years. Time for me to re-order

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.

I'm sorry but I don't have a bottle of the Salmon Oil. It smelled awful and my pets wouldn't eat it. I started buying the Pollock oil instead. I checked this bottle and under ingredients it only reads Pollock oil & tocoherols (whatever that is)

I no longer have a bottle of it because my picky cat decided he didn't like it anymore and stopped eating it or any food it was added to. I do know that it is salmon oil and our wholistic vet recommended it. Now I give them organic olive oil although I know the salmon oil is probably more beneficial.

The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think). I recently compared it to another product, ingredient to ingredient, this other one being one that has almost 500 five-star reviews and reportedly lots of vet recommendations, and OsteoPet was better, ingredient for ingredient, than this competitor. My boy pup is still doing great with these supplements, and on days he's really active (like chasing squirrels at 12, wow!), then he gets a pain-free aspirin substitute, too. Also here on Amazon. His sister gets Osteo and Zeel, doing great, too. I've rambled. Oops. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think).

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

This product is molecularly distilled, but I called Solgar recently and they would no release the COA. They said it was "proprietary info." Not really true, but there you are. There are not many wild salmon oils on the IFOS, Barlean's Wild and Whole is the only 100% wild salmon oil I could find there. Carlson's Norwegain (farmed) salmon oil blend is there, but it's mixed with other fish oils. Wild salmon is very clean to begin with, but Solgar does their own additional cleaning and testing to ensure purity, potency, and freshness. If you want the details of how they do this, you can go to their website at solgardotcom. It is too long to post here. Hope that helps.

Veterinarians seem to think so, and it certainly seemed to help my dog. When I first rescued her she had sort of a greasy coat and a lot of dandruff. One month of this fish oil and her coat was very sleek and shiny! I constantly get compliments on her shiny coat.

~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin. So your dog should feel more comfortable with less dry skin, and healthier coat. This is a good product, very large amount & will last a long time. Its important for dogs, cats, and humans to have Essential Fatty Oils in their diet anyway. XO I also give my dog Coconut Oil (extra virgin)... I give my dog coconut oil, a spoonful daily on food, and I also rub it on her skin. If your dog as problem areas of skin, or dry areas, or rashes, the coconut oil will soothe it. Very healthy for them to take BOTH these oils daily. I give them to my cats too ! ~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin.

Please take this as my opinion, and not a scientifically derived conclusion. Ultra Active seems to be processed more than Pro. I'm not sure that is a good thing. I've used PRO EMU OIL; and as long as you use it sparingly it is wonderful stuff. A little goes a long way. It absorbs quickly, heals skin irritations with amazing speed - overnight for me. The part to get used to is that one or two drops goes a long way.

sorry I have no idea. I checked through Google for a quality fish oil and this one came upon top. Can be found at WalMart as well. I chose Amazon Prime

I've been on that stuff since childhood, courtesy of my grandparents who are still religious in taking it. I think it was a staple source of vitamin D and omega 3s in the past, and it has gone down in popularity due to all the new choices on the market. However, CLO is probably one of the best sources of fish oils. Carlson is perhaps the best out there. I tried to cut costs many times by buying cheaper alternatives even from local health shops, nothing came close to Carlson's CLO. Enjoy - to your good health.
