When I pick up their raw food, I always grab 2bags of whole frozen herrings. Each bag: 5lbs @ 12$... ohhh do they love their treat

I ordered 5 1 pound bags. Iā€™m so mad at myself cause I should have ordered more. I know a couple times a year they have an order for sardines and mackerel, Iā€™ll have to keep my eye out.

I stopped giving sardines to my dog since sardines may be contaminated with strontium after the Fukushima disaster in Japan. https://peterdobias.com/blogs/blog/11014105-dogs-fed-sardines-show-high-strontium-levels . I used to give the sardines packed in water, about a can a week.

I give fish oil daily from a capsule that I bought from Costco, and Vitamin E from a capsule once a week.

I simply stopped giving any fish oil long time ago. Actually it was cod liver oil. These capsules, dogs have issues digesting. Itā€™s just one of them things we humans can but not the dog. I personally donā€™t take any fish oils either. Iā€™ll try to find my post on that. I rather give them real fish.

Hereā€™s a link you might find interesting...

Interesting article. But the reference that the author used that fish oils are bad actually said that EPA and DHA given with adequate Vitamin E suppress lipid peroxidation, which is a good thing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12568661 I don't give my dog a capsule, I squeeze the oil out of the capsule just before use so the oil isn't oxidized. I give my dog the fish oil both for her allergies and to prevent arthritis, and I try to use a decent brand, so hopefully there's few contaminants.

There was a Dr Becker video on this topic... no capsule fish oil is best for dogs... canā€™t remember when I read will try to find it.

When i read it.. I started cutting the capsules open

Gosh... this is SO confusing. I give my two the salmon oil from Amazon, Grizzly Salmon Oil. They seem to love it, but I don't overdue it... for some reason they don't handle coconut oil very well. I started giving them the frozen treats made w/the coconut oil, but not daily...

I'll try to find the link...

Amazing isnā€™t it? I know this stuff inside out and I even get confused myself at times I swear. So much to remember. Why I try very hard to keep all my dogs only on real food n no supplements as much as I can. Owning bullies gave me that extra work I needed to add to what I already knew...:facepalm2:
