Zesty Paws Salmon Oil for Dogs & Cats - Omega 3 for Dogs & Cats, 32 oz | Fish...

I have 2 dogs. My cavalier, who's 9, when I got him he was on a poor diet, underweight and seemed shut down. He shedded sooooo badly and I'm not putting that lightly. No matter how many times I brushed him more hair would fall. During our first vet visit I addressed this with her, my concerns, and over a handful of visits got him completely vetted. We put him on Purina Pro Plan complete essentials and I was told to give it time. Let's try this first before we start throwing other things at him. Lol. It could simply be he wasn't cared for with his most basic needs and this alone, with lots of love could do it. So we did. Time has passed, he's happy (a completely different dog) and healthy! However, there is still some excess shedding left and some dry/itchy skin. I also, unexpectedly, found an 8-10 week old puppy on the side of the road in grave condition. Skin and bones. Got her to the vet quickly to see what we could do, if anything. For a short period of time I was at war with myself, if I'd keep her or what (Can I do it, take on a second dog? Can I take on a puppy, at that!?) All these questions running through my head. That didn't last long though. There had to have been a reason we crossed paths and this little soul needed someone to care for her. Life has already been so cruel to her. I told her, the puppy, and the vets office that she'd have a home with me if she made it through the wkd. I promised her she would never have to worry about a thing! I'd give it my best shot if she did too. I'd spoil her rotten. She made it through and that significantly increased the odds of her making it! So she came home with me and we started her journey of recovery. She too had allergies when I found her. Goopy eyes, rashes on her belly and itchy skin. The vet said it should clear up on its own with some proper nutrition, a good bath or 2 and time. From the looks she'd never seen a bath or probably the inside of someone's home. She was matted, had ticks and very dirty. She's now my very smart, healthy teething little velociraptor, with the exception of some itchy skin and an occasional rash or two that come and go. I decided to put both of them on the chewable version, Skin and Coat bites by Zesty Paws. I didn't really notice much of a difference after a bit, so I switched to this. I should've in the first place! This is a godsend! I will never not be without it. It's a subscription item now. It's been 2 weeks and there is less hair loss in general in this house and on my furniture....and me. I'm not constantly vacuuming, using a Chom Chom or a lint roller. When I brush my cavalier there isn't just gobs and gobs of hair coming out. How he didn't go bald baffles me. His coat isn't where it should be yet with the combination of diet and this supplement, but I strongly feel we are on the right track and given some more time that will be accomplished! My Aussie mix puppy, her itching has decreased substantially and since starting this 2 weeks ago, I haven't seen one rash! I drizzle this over their dinner. Both love it! I do keep this refrigerated as it states and give it a bit of a shake prior to pouring (me thing). I sorta wish it wasn't orange though, that seems so.... unnatural, but it works, so I ignore it.

I would be giving this a 5-star rating because I can already tell a difference in our cat's skin & coat. She does not have white flakes on her back like she did before starting her on this. Also, a BIG plus is that she loves it, ALOT! But I am only giving it a 4-star because the pump dispenser is less than ideal. It pumps out okay, but it leaks pretty bad. I poured it out of its original container and into a wide mouth mason jar. I'm okay with that and all is well now. You have a great product here, but the pump dispenser needs work.

So, when I the Cat Distribution System found me it sent an orange tabby. Once he was vetted and he was moved to a wet food diet we waited for his coat to improve. His fur was stiff, coarse, dry and thick but not fluffy long thick. His fur felt like a boar brush. I saw a video from Kayla Lyman who rescues and fosters cats on her YouTube channel and she always puts this in her fosters meals. Now, she mentioned that it works to soften a cats fur, I went out and got it from Amazon. My cat is fourteen pounds so I only need to give him one pump of the salmon oil once a day with his food. I will warn you that your cat may stop eating his food without it, I guess it's that flavorful? My cat happens to really like salmon treats and food so it wasn't a struggle to get him to eat it. I started with half a pump then after a few days I gave him a full pump. Yes, I measured it how much a pump was which is one teaspoon. My mom was the first one who commented that the cat's fur was softer than before. I didn't believe it until I finally felt his fur today, it doesn't feel dry and coarse but definitely softer. I really believe that it's thanks to this salmon oil. I'm really glad to have found this product.

I’m sure results will vary by animal. I bought this from recommendation by a friend for my Chesapeake Bay Retriever that had some fairly significant skin rash, scabbing, and hot spots. Those are all gone halfway through our first bottle, along with considerably less shedding. Her coat feels smoother while fuller and thicker. And after an initial smell test for the change to her food she’s had no issue with taking it down. Vet prescribed Zyrtec for the skin issues which didn’t work - at all. Glad this did

I’ve had no issues using this oil other than the fact that “REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING” is written SO SMALL that I never saw it. Should I have known it needed refrigerated? Probably. But it needs to be written where people can see it! I just threw away two bottles because they’ve been sitting out for weeks and my dog was showing signs of stomach upset which is the only reason I realized my mistake. PLEASE UPDATE THE PACKAGING TO MAKE THIS MORE OBVIOUS SO WE DON’T ACCIDENTALLY POISON OUR DOGS. I wasted $60. Ugh.
