Life Line Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs & Cats | Omega-3 Fish Oil with DHA & EPA | Skin & Coat Support | Brain, Heart & Eye Health – 8.5 oz

Original review, Jan 2015: Too soon to see results (only used a few weeks) BUT MY CAT EATS IT. So that's instantly a five star review from me, haha. Love my cat but she's picky! I mix 1/4 tspn in with her food daily. The first few days she was hesitant and ate less than normal, but she still ate some, and now she's eating normally. While I'm not sure if she loves it or just tolerates it, she asks for food and eats like normal so I'm happy! Update: Cat still loves it! Asks for it! I think my dog is jealous, but my dog is allergic to salmon and can't have any haha. I do notice some dandruff on my cat, which I was hoping would improve over time, but it has only been a few months and occasionally I forget to give it to her (so, 5x weekly instead of 7x weekly). Also, I have not been brushing her fur very much... And I know that brushing can help keep a cat's coat and skin healthy. So I'm trying to brush her a few times per week at least. (Hey, I love my cat! Lots of pets and cuddles...just don't brush her much oops). I'm hopeful that with increased brushing and consistent dosing of salmon oil that her coat and skin will improve. I currently have my cat on a dry food diet, so I'm glad to have this supplement that she likes so much. I know that it is beneficial for her health overall, not just her skin. Update, Nov 30, 2016: Over the months of mostly-consistent use (still like 5x weekly, only because occasionally I'm in a rush and don't have time to mix the oil in her food), my cat's dandruff disappeared. I am very pleased! In JulyI was on vacation for a few weeks and my friend didn't add the oil to her food, and when I returned my cat's dandruff was coming back. When I added the oil again, after a few weeks, her dandruff was gone! Then in September I was sick a few weeks and didn't add the oil, and again---dandruff. I got back in the habit of adding oil, and dandruff gone. So I know it's helping her skin, and I can only assume it is of course benefiting her health overall too. I am very pleased! I will have to buy a new bottle in a few months because mine will be expiring soon, even though it's not empty yet (she only gets 1/4 tsp a day so this is no surprise). I do not mind purchasing a quality salmon oil that clearly works, I can see the benefits and she enjoys eating it. :) (Off the top of my head, I think my bottle was dated to last about 12-14 months in the fridge, but obviously check the expiration date on yours when you order it)

Where do I start!? The amount for the price with the proven analysis of purity is amazing. And it only requires a pump and a half for each of my dogs verses others at 3 or 4 pumps! This bottle will last me a year!! The Medical Medium states salmon oil and kelp is so important to dogs health and I've noticed such a difference in their coats. Silky, shiny and no dandruff. Took about 2/3 weeks to notice the difference but the results will come! Plus the dogs love the taste. The dogs pictured are 9, 8, and 2 years old and the 8 year olds coat looks just as good as the 2 year olds! I tried other fish oils after salmon oil and their coats lost their luster. Came back after integrating it back in! I also supplement them with Dr. Harveys multivitamin, either kelp or seameal and organic immunity mushroom powder (reishi, turkey tail and others) and coQ10. They are not fed raw yet so these results were noticeable even still with high quality kibble with no wheat, corn or soy.

Excellent addition to your dog's meal. For dogs with dark coats it really brings out the sheen and seems to keep them from developing dry skin. By getting the gallon size you can save, and Life Line seems to be cheaper than the competition. While I have read complaints that there is no pump on the container, I am sure that you could find one if it was necessary. I just pour some of the oil into a plastic squirt bottle and it works just fine. As for complaints about the odor, it certainly doesn't bother the dogs and I don't spend a lot of time sniffing the open container which I keep in the refrigerator with the top on. Try it you'll like it.

This item arrived with no lid. Sealed but no top. And it’s non refundable….no options to get my money back.

I began using salmon oil for my dogs' skin and coats several years ago; but since then, I've learned that it's also important for the longer term benefits to their heart, brain, and joints. Life Line wild salmon oil is 100% natural. According to their website, it is produced from freshly caught, sustainably harvested wild alaskan salmon. Rather than the rosemary extract used as a preservative by most salmon oil producers, natural mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) are added to maintain freshness in the Life Line brand. This means that the product can also be used for cats (felines don't tolerate rosemary). Each teaspoon of oil provides approximately 1395 mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, including 558 mg of EPA and 651 mg of DHA. Generally, I've been satisfied with several different brands of salmon oil available from Amazon Prime, but usually prefer the products that are available in the larger-size bottles with a pump dispenser. The pump dispensers make feeding time a breeze...you simply pump the number of "squirts" that are recommended for the weight of your dog(s) directly onto their food. Unfortunately, that is the only downside to this salmon oil by Life Line. While it does come in a large-size bottle, there is no pump dispenser. Rather than having to use and wash measuring spoons twice a day, I've thoroughly cleaned one of the competitor's salmon oil dispensers and emptied the Life Line bottle contents into it. Since the Life Line bottle includes dosages based on tsp amounts per dog weight, I had to use measuring spoons the first time in order to see how much each squirt of the dispenser was equal to. Now it's easy. I just keep the bottle in the fridge to ensure lasting freshness; and then pump the newly-determined number of squirts on top of both of my dogs' dinners. The improvement in my dogs' skin and coats is very noticeable. They both have gorgeous, shiny coats and non-itchy skin. With the salmon oil added to their diets, it's important to brush your dog once or twice a week, particularly if they're a long-haired breed. Just a quick brush will help to distribute the extra oil throughout your dog's fur.

I have a labradoodle with very itchy skin. We began giving him the salmon oil in his food daily about a year ago. His hot spot on his leg has healed and he's not itching as much. Both of our dogs gobble down their kibble with a couple of squirts of this oil on it. It keeps very well in the refrigerator and does not have a bad odor. Occasionally, the dogs faces smell a little fishy, but it goes away after they drink some water. Life Line brand seems to be of high quality and reasonable price compared to other brands. It also comes very quickly from Amazon when you order it.

i had bought the 64 oz bottle & i'm kinda bummed it's no longer available... but i'm still very pleased with this product... i mix this in with the joint juice i give my boys with their pumpkin/natural applesauce mix & they love it!!!! (10 y/o shepherd/collie mix & 9 y/o lab mix) - within days, my black lab (who had a dull, dry, flaky coat that was constantly shedding all over the apartment) was all shiny, no more dandruff, soft, smooth coat & greatly reduced shedding... i mean GREATLY... my other dog's coat is a double coat, so i don't notice the difference as quickly, but if your dog has any dry skin issues or you just want to see a healthier skin/coat for your pet, this product is a godsend... i am hoping my cats develop a taste for it because i would love to see their coats as healthy and supple as my lab's :) highly recommend... keep it refrigerated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this salmon oil for my cat to pour on his dry mix since I have to be gone for days at a time. I don't like leaving him with dry cat food all of the time as I know it is not good for him, so when I do leave, I saturate his dry mix with this oil. He loves it. Then I tried some on my toy dog, and she loved it. She ate all of her food in one sitting and she doesn't normally do that. It's a great product. It does what it says and they love the taste too!!! I'll buy it again. Thank you very much Life Line.
