Fish Oil For Dogs

I got a phone call today from one of my business partners, and he wanted to tell me about what one of the participants in our test group had told him. Our test group had tested my ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil for a few months, before it was released, and the female participant that had spoken to my partner was, for lack of a better term, our guinea pig.

The woman is a nurse at a dialysis clinic, is around 50 years of age, widowed, and has two dogs, (real dogs…not those miniature rats that are so popular today), and the dogs are somewhere between 9 and 10 years old – in human years.

She started to take my pharmaceutical grade fish oil, because the stuff she was taking gave her “fish burps,” which she didn’t like, and she was attracted to the greater levels of EPA/DHA in my formula, which she wasn’t getting in the stuff at the supermarket.

Her main reason for taking the fish oil was to reduce arthritic discomfort. She’s a nurse, and on her feet for many, many hours at a time, and it’s taken its toll on her.

She had been taking my special fish oil formula for a month, when she told us that she had experienced a substantial decrease in her pain level. She said it was like she had new legs!

Here’s where the story goes to fish oil for dogs.

Her dogs, named Shaggy and Shea, were getting up in age and therefore were not as energetic as they were in their earlier years, and Shea had a bit of limp. After being on the fish oil formula for a month and feeling great, she had the idea to give the dogs one soft gel at the same time as they got their dogfood. In just two weeks, the dogs had higher energy levels, and Shea was walking without a hitch.

Now I know this is not scientific, and I’m far from a veterinarian. I’m at a loss for words – a rare thing for me. But if it tends to work…I’m not going to stand in the way of her giving fish oil for dogs.

Shea and Shaggy’s mom is certainly not the only person who has reported that fish oil is a great method for reducing pain associated with common arthritis. Using pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is a great help if you are battling all sorts of joint troubles.

I read a study recently from Columbia University Medical Center revealing that omega 3 fatty acids might help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 19 to 24%. Enteric coated fish oil can also help with heart, joint, and brain function.

Alzheimer’s is the #1 health fear of my generation, and the one that follows, too.
