Omega 3 & Omega 6

Anyone here give there dog Omega 3 or Omega 6 capsules?

Where do you get them from?
Is it best to get it in capsule form?

Thank you all for your advice

I give my two a fish body oil capsule which contains omega 3 and 6

But if you are going to give them such as FBO then you need to give vitamin E, capsules work well.

Also cod liver oil/capsules aren't the best, they contain vit a and d which are fat soluble and affect the liver in the same way alcohol does

Oh and i buy them from wilkinsons along with garlic capsules

Thank you Ella
Arrr FBO fish body oil....wohoo took me ages to find that
Do you open the cap and pour it onto their dinner? or do you just hide it in their raw meat?
How often and what size do you give per week?
Any links so I know I'm getting the right stuff
Thanks for any help.....sorry I know I'm a pain, but wanna make sure I'm doing it right

Yer you pain

haha well i give the capsule as is just hidden in with the food.

You can give 1 a day but i tend to give them 2-3 times a week

photo of mine 'cos i can't find them online:

Thanks ><
Restraining orders take a while to get passed, so you should apply to avoid disappointment. Please be patient apparently I have a back log

I'm here to please

What mg are the capsules on each of them

garlic 2mg

vitamin E 175mg

FBO 1000mg

Thanks looking on amazon and ebay now

Awesome well as long as you get something along those lines then it's all good!

Still looking
Had ebay and amazon open now for days. Keep getting distracted.
Interesting if you type omega 3 into ebay, the first 2 results are alloy wheels for a car

well it's sort of similar.... no?

Still not done it
Are these alright. I need to sort it out. I'm useless I know

they look good to me

I ended up going Tescos this afternoon and they had a 3 for 2 offer on. I got omega 3, vitamin E, Garlic tablets for £7 Bargin!!
Ill let you know if the bald patches on him improve.

If he has bold patches i'd give the fish/vit e once a day and see if it helps

Thats what I'm going to do to start off with. Then if it does solve it, then just give it 2-3 times a week.
I will give a pot a day if it sorted it. At the moment it looks like no one is taking care of him. Bald patches make it look like no one is looking after him. He is fine within himself, just looks like a scruff

sounds like a plan!

I have always given my staffies fish oil capsules (from holland and barratt) I keep them in the freezer, partly because they can lose their strength quickly in warm weather but also because it avoids the horrible smelling oil going everywhere if they burst when the dog chews them! Mabel loves them frozen and waits by the freezer every morning for her fix! With regard to garlic, I think you have to be quite careful about giving garlic to dogs, something to do with it causing some type of anaemia (onions can do this as well.

onion is toxic to dogs in small amounts.

Garlic is safe to give your dog unless you gave say a whole bulb a day for months then you would cause a problem. Garlic in small amounts is totally safe to give is a natural fleaer along with other health benefits so you don't need to worry.

Thanks for this. I might try it with Mabel - i presume you use the oil capsules?

I use fresh cloves if i have any in or 1 capsule a day if i haven't

I usually go to Walmart and get fish, flax and borage in one capsule. Gobbles it right up enjoys the popping sound
