Does the Pollock oil smell as bad as the salmon oil? We finally gave up on salmon due to the smell.

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.

It smells just as bad. I have gotten used to the smell and my dog never minded it. She loves it and licks the dish clean.

I have not smelled the salmon oil however I don't think the pollack smells bad and my dogs coat is so much softer :)

I think it smells a LOT less than the salmon oil, and my dogs seem to like it just as much!

Hi Sue D., No it does not have an odor at all. I can't stand the smell of fish so if it did, trust me I would have noticed. We really liked the product, it cleared up our dogs coat within weeks. Have recommended it to others.

Well I think they smell about the same. It is fish oil but I've never found either of them to smell super bad just a tad fishy.smell. my dogs love both of them.

No. The label reads: Wild Alaskan sockeye salmon oil, softgel capsule (fish gelatin, glycerin, purified water). I am very pleased with these as there is no fishy taste at all.

The oil does have a strong smell. It's a mix of mustard oil and brewed black tea. At least that is what it smells like to me. It definitely is not a pleasant smell but it's not lingering either. I have been using the oil regularly on my face and I see a noticeable positive change in my skin so I'm overlooking the unpleasant smell. If it makes you gag then you might need to look into an alternative oil, I use argan oil as well brought it from Morrocco and it is also great for my skin.

It def has a slight fishy smell, but a contributing factor could easily be from the pump of salmon oil that we add into her food. We limit her fishy smell by wiping her face with a baby wipe and brushing her teeth. They have a smaller bag of this food, so it might be good to try it!

It's not supposed to smell like fish oil - it really doesn't have much of a scent, maybe a little bit of a nut-like scent. It doesn't smell pretty if that is what you have in mind. Yes, it's oily but should absorb into your skin. I happen to love this product because I feel it's natural & does what it's supposed to do without all the frilly stuff.

SorryIt has been a while since I used it as I switched to Grizzly pure salmon oil which I can purchase in my local pet store.

That's a good question, I sent this to my sister as a present and she thought someone sent her salmon because that's what the package smelled like, so I just assumed that it did in fact come from Alaska, however that doesn't mean it was made there. I will say she is very happy with it.

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.

I suspect it's rancid if it smells like fish oil. Many say that Jojoba has no scent. I disagree--I have a very acute sense of smell and I it has a very distinctive, light, vaguely sweet scent. It reminds me of a very faint aroma of baked goods, like pancakes or waffles (without the syrup.) I have never known it to smell like fish oil.

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

I will not comment on wild Atlantic salmon vs farm-raised, but I looked at my bottle of Salmon Oil and it says "Wild Deep Sea Salmon Oil" and "wild fresh-caught salmon." It doesn't say anything about it being from wild Atlantic salmon. So I went to the Wholistic Pet Organics website, and found that their salmon oil is from Alaskan, not Atlantic, salmon. There seems to be no debate that Alaskan salmon is wild, not farmed.

My previous bottle was good. But the recent one-Now Foods Jojoba oil smells like fish oil. I couldnt bear it ! I discarded it...

I don't have the numbers for the pollock oil. You can check on their website. I have the numbers for the salmon oil. Crude fat-99.9% (min) Moisture-0.1% (max) Omega 3 fatty acids* 29.0% (min) DHA(Docosahexaenoic Acid)*-11.0%(min) EPA(Eicosapentaenoic Acid)*-10.0%(min) Omega 6 fatty acids*-3.0%(min) Hope this helps.

No. Not to me. I'm pleased with the smell. I think olive oil has a worse smell and I've still used it. I saut foods and rub meats with it. It is thicker, but I keep it refridgerated so it takes a minute to thin out. Hope this helps.

I prefer sweet blends with salmon. This is fishy/salty. I use it to add flavor to coconut based curry dishes. I imagine it could be good for salmon if brown sugar or something were added? I have never thought to try a fish-based sause on fish, but now I am curious ;)

Krill oil does not have a fishy after taste or fishy burps. I hope this helps.
