Fish Oil For Dogs

One of my partners called me yesterday, 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 one of our guinea pigs.

The woman is a nurse at a dialysis clinic, is around 50 years of age, widowed, and has two dogs, (and I’m talking 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 took my pharmaceutical grade fish oil, because the stuff she was taking gave her “fish burps,” which she didn’t like, and she liked the the higher levels of EPA/DHA contained in my formula, which she couldn’t get in the stuff she picked up at the drugstore.

Her primary reason for using fish oil was to reduce arthritic discomfort. At fifty, and being a nurse, she is on her feet for hours at a stretch, 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 felt a substantial decrease in her pain level. She said it was like having 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 decided to give the dogs one soft gel each day at the same time time as they got their doggy treats. In only two weeks, the dogs’ energy levels were significantly increased and Shea was walking just fine.

Now I know this isn’t exactly scientific, and I’m certainly not a veterinarian. I’m not really sure what to say, other than it’s a good story. However if it works…I’m not going to stand in the way of her giving fish oil for dogs.

Shea and Shaggy’s mother is not the only person who has discovered that fish oil is a great method for reducing pain associated with common arthritis. Taking pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is a tremendous help for those who are battling all sorts of joint troubles.

I saw a study from Columbia University Medical Center that said omega 3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by 19 to 24%. Pharmaceutical grade fish oil can also help with joint, heart, and brain function.

Alzheimer’s is the number one health fear of my generation.
