Fish Oil For Dogs

I got a call today from one of my partners, who 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 lucky subjects.

The woman works as a nurse at a dialysis clinic, is over 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 8 and 11 years of age.

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. At over fifty, and being a full time nurse, she is on her feet for many hours at a time, and it’s taken its toll on her.

She had been taking my fish oil formula for about four weeks, when she told us that she had experienced a substantial decrease in her pain level. She even went so far as to say that it felt like she had new legs!

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

Her dogs, named Shea and Shaggy, were getting older and were not as active as they were in their younger days, and Shea seemed to have a bit of limp. After taking the fish oil formula for a month and experiencing the benefits, she decided to give the dogs one soft gel each day at the same time as they got their doggy treats. In just two weeks, the dogs had higher energy levels, and Shea was walking without a hitch.

I understand this is not scientific, and I’m certainly not a veterinarian. I really don’t know what to make of it, other than it’s a good story. 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 brought about by common arthritis. Taking pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is a tremendous help for battling 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%. Pharmaceutical grade fish oil can also help with joint, heart, and brain function.

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