Review on Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil Omega-3 Supplement for Skin & Coat by Life Line Pet Nutrition – Enhances Brain, Eye & Heart Health in Dogs & Cats by Andrea Sledge

I started using salmon oil on my dog's skin and coat a few years ago; But I've since learned that it's also important for long-term benefits for your heart, brain, and joints. Life Line Wild Salmon Oil is 100% natural. According to their website, it's made from freshly caught wild Alaskan salmon. Instead of rosemary extract used as a preservative by most salmon oil manufacturers, Life Line's natural mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) are added to preserve freshness. This means that the product can also be used on cats (cats do not tolerate rosemary). Each teaspoon of oil provides approximately 1395 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, including 558 mg EPA and 651 mg DHA. Products available in larger pump dispenser bottles. Pump dispensers make feeding easier. You simply pump the recommended amount of "sprays" for your dog(s) weight directly onto the food. Unfortunately, this is the only downside to this Life Line Salmon Oil. Although it comes in a large bottle, there is no pump dispenser. Instead of using and washing measuring spoons twice a day, I thoroughly cleaned one of a competitor's salmon oil dispensers and poured the contents of a Life-Line bottle into it. Because Life Line's bottle lists dosages based on the number of teaspoons per dog's weight, I had to use the measuring spoons the first time around to see what each dose equated to. Now it's easy. I just keep the bottle in the fridge for long-lasting freshness; and then pump a new set number of syringes over my two dogs' meals. The improvement in the skin and coat condition of my dogs is very noticeable. They both have beautifully shiny coats and non-itchy skin. With the addition of salmon oil to their diet, it's important to brush your dog once or twice a week, especially if they're a long-haired breed. A simple quick comb will help disperse excess oil in your dog's coat.
