Adding Fish Oil to your pet"s diet

If you are considering adding fish oil to your pet’s diet, here is a guide line that will help. This is the safest, purest Omega 3 Fish Oil (recommended)

100 pound dog 3000 mg = about 3cc liquid
90 pound dog 2700 – 3000 mg =  about 3 cc liquid
80 pound dog 2500 mg =about 2-1/2 cc liquid
70 – 60 pound dog 2000 mg = 2 cc liquid
50 – 40 pound dog 1500 mg= 1-1/2 cc liquid
30 pound dog 1000 mg = 1 cc liquid
20 pound dog 500mg =1/2 cc liquid
10 pound dog 300 mg = about 1/4 cc liquid

Put in peanut butter, cottage cheede, chopped cooked meat or anything that your dog likes.  It is NOT suggested you put on dry dog food.  With Life’s Abundance the food I feed, putting oil on the dry food will throw off the balance of utrients in the food.  Canned food is fine.

The EcoNazis" latest target in their "War on Nature": Meat-eating pets

New planetary burden: Meat-eating pets

Green Hell Blog
Monday, March 23, 2009

Paul Greenberg opines today in the New York Times that dogs and cats should go vegan. Writing about his cat, Greenberg says,

Coco, like most American cats, ate fish. And a great deal of them — more in a year than the average African human, according to Jason Clay at the World Wildlife Fund. And unlike the chicken or beef Coco also gobbled up, all those fish were wild animals, scooped out of the sea and flown thousands of carbon-belching miles to reach his little blue bowl.

The use of wild fish in animal feed is a serious problem for the world’s food systems. Around a third of all wild fish caught are “reduced” into fish meal and fish oil. And yet most of the outrage about this is focused not on land-based animals like Coco but on other fish — namely farm-raised fish.

But if you feel that a vegan pet would “go against nature,” Greenberg says you should “rethink a pet’s potential footprint before acquiring one”:

A carnivore, be it a cat, a dog or a salmon, is a heavy burden for the environment and should not be brought under human care lightly. In my family, this has become a topic of debate as we consider our next animal. Coco was an interesting and unique creature, and I argue that he cannot be replaced. To me, a vegetarian substitute is seeming more and more appealing. Lately, I’ve had my eye on a guinea pig.

Hats off to the New York Times for allowing Greenberg to share his thoughts with the world — otherwise, you couldn’t make this stuff up.

7 Useful Supplements for Pets

You may have a vitamin regimen for yourself, but did you know that pets can also benefit from multivitamins and specific supplements? Pets on homemade diets especially will likely need several supplements. Here are 7 options that can help your pet feel their best.

1. Fatty acids and vitamin B

Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, found in fish oil, and vitamin B, are great for giving your pet a healthy skin and coat. Dull and flaky skin is often lacking in the proper oils, which these supplements will remedy. Fish oil for dogs and cats also acts as an anti-inflammatory, which can ease discomfort such as arthritis pain, and some studies are even showing that fish oil can slow the growth of cancer!

2. Vitamin A

Vitamin A, found naturally in many protein sources like liver and dairy, is important for your pet’s vision. A lack of vitamin A can lead to problems like night blindness. Since most pet foods will have enough vitamin A, and too much can lead to coat and bone issues, talk to your vet about whether your pet would benefit for added vitamin A. Pets on a homemade diet may need it.

3. Glucosamine and Chondroitin

The supplements glucosamine and chondroitin are believed to be helpful for pets suffering from arthritis, just as they can be helpful for humans. These supplements, which come from the shells of shellfish and animal cartilage, can reduce arthritis pain in dogs and cats. Don’t expect an immediate change, though — these supplements work slowly over time to ease discomfort and to slow the progress of arthritis.

4. Antioxidants

Antioxidants can be useful for working dogs or very active dogs. Most multivitamins include antioxidants. Antioxidants are thought to help prevent muscle damage, so they’re great for dogs under physical stress.

5. Probiotics

These supplements can help boost micro bacteria (“good” bacteria) in your pet’s digestive tract, and can aid digestion. Yucca schidigera or Zinc acetate can also help decrease the odor of pet gassiness — could be a good choice if company is coming over!

6. Mineral Oil

Mineral oil can help with pet constipation, but it should only ever be given mixed in with food. Simply giving the oil to your pet to swallow can cause aspiration pneumonia, a serious lung infection.

7. Milk Thistle Extract

This extract can be given to pets with liver disease, since it helps the liver to recover from imbalances. Be aware though that the full implications of long-term use haven’t been tested, so it’s not for healthy dogs or cats as a preventative. If your pet develops liver problems, ask your vet if it can be helpful.

Natural Wonders of Krill for Pets

The exceptional holistic benefits of Krill and Krill oil have been proven time and time again for many species, including humans.  It has far surpassed even fish oil for similar functions and offers many other natural benefits.

The blanket term ‘Krill’ refers to all 85 deep water marine planktonic crustacean species, which combined make up the world’s most abundant biomass. Krill has been informally harvested since the early 1800′s and they are one of the most efficiently renewable food resources.

Krill is available in several forms for our pets, including frozen, various grades of ‘meal’, whole freeze-dried, flaked/ground freeze-dried and oil. These can be used as ingredients in homemade pet food recipes or mixed with commercial food as a natural supplement. Cats will often eat pieces of  freeze-dried Krill as a nutritious treat.

Krill is rich in DHA, Phospholipids (stimulates the building of cell membranes) and Essential Fatty Acids, including Omega 3, 6 and 9. Both DHA and EPA are crucial to fighting and preventing disease and overall health.

Astaxanthin, a carotenoide, is abundant in Krill. In fact, over 95% of the pigments present in krill are in the form of astaxanthin, measuring a whopping 100 to 300 parts per million (ppm=mg/1). It is a more powerful antioxidant than Lutein, Alpha-tocopherol, Lycopene and Beta-carotene.

As a supplement, Krill Oil is naturally more stable and bio-available than fish oil and it contains no heavy metals. Krill far outperforms fish oil for heart and liver fat reduction. It is also higher than fish (and vitamins A & E) in antioxidants.

The natural immunity enhancement provided by Krill through its amazing nutrient profile is combined with unique contributions such as Chitin, which is 2.4 – 2.7% of their dry weight. It also promotes early development of the immune system, resulting in increased survival rates of newborns.

Since scientific research on the effects of any item can be lacking for specific species, we suggest you research the known benefits of each holistic component to determine what krill offers to your pet. Following is some basic information to get you started:

•     Krill contains unsurpassed levels of bio-available Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA) and Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)


•     Exceptionally high Omega 3 Fatty Acids


•     Krill contains Phospholipids


•     High in Antioxidants


•     Krill is an excellent source of Carotenoide astaxanthin


•     Rich in bio-available minerals


•     Krill is a rare source of cohabitating Hydrolytic enzymes (Phospholipases, Proteases, Nucleases & Carbohydrases)


•     Natural immunity enhancing properties


•     Natural Source of Chitosan (derivative of Krill Chitin)


•     Anti-inflammatory properties


•     Anti-fungal properties


•     Krill contains a wide range of biochemicals


•     Offers Photoprotectors


•     Reduces fat in your pet’s heart & liver


•     Krill is lower in Ash and Phosphorus by comparison to fish or shrimp meal


•     Moderate caloric content


•     Krill is easily digested

The use of Krill for holistic pet care has yielded positive results in regards to the following:

•     Stimulates the immunological system in pets


•     Provides exceptional cardiovascular support


•     Beneficial dietary supplement during pet pregnancy & lactating


•     Increase in newborn pet survival and healthy growth rates


•     Natural treatment of arthritis / joint conditions in pets


•     Improved skin and coat condition (through improved collagen production)


•     Improved appetite/intake/palatability (masks the taste of medication)


•     Maintains healthy blood lipid levels


•     Krill naturally improves chemioperception in pets


•     Decreased recovery time in pets when fed Krill pre & post-operative


•     May naturally decrease hyperactivity, anxiety and minor aggression in pets


•     Overall revitalization & improved alertness


•     Krill naturally protects pets from UV rays


•     Natural treatment of pet nutritional disorders

Aquarium Fish & Shrimp enjoy all of the above, as well as:

•     Increased egg production in aquarium fish, shrimp and snails fed Krill


•     Naturally conditions captive fish, shrimp & snails for breeding.


•     Improved egg and offspring health from a diet supplemented with Krill


•     Better finnage growth and fin quality in show fish


•     Naturally enhanced coloration/pigment in aquarium fish and shrimp


•     Calms ‘nervous’ species of aquarium fish


•     Krill is rich in trimethylamine oxide, which improves osmoreguation in fish

Very exciting stuff!  In fact, I became so convinced while researching this product that I now take Krill oil supplements.  For more details, a list of data references, or to purchase finely ground Canadian Krill, please visit our Krill page.

New Studies Prove a Diet Rich in Fish Oil Helps Arthritic Pets Get Their Mojo Back

Dogs with osteoarthritis experience difficulty rising after rest, jumping, climbing stairs and usually progressive immobility. Owners often think this is inevitable and part of the ‘normal’ ageing process. Mobility issues in cats also tend to be poorly recognised because cats tend to react to painful joints by becoming more sedentary, which masks the signs. Now, two studies have just been published by a leading veterinary authority (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association) that provide conclusive proof that arthritic dogs can get their mojo back by feeding a food rich in fish oils, which contains omega-3 fatty acids.^1,2

• Arthritic dogs improved so much that their owners noticed their dogs were better at standing up after rest and could play more after 6 weeks. After 6 months their pets were also walking better.


• Dogs were also able to put more weight on their affected/arthritic legs.  Those dogs fed fish oil rich food were seven times as likely to show improved weight bearing compared with dogs fed an ‘off the shelf’ food.


• Overall, a ‘significant clinical improvement’ was reported by researchers.

The studies were carried out using food made to the same formula as Hill’s^TM Prescription Diet^TM Canine j/d^TM, which is currently available from vet clinics in the UK. Hill’s^TM j/d^TM remains the only food for arthritic dogs to be proven in clinical studies to help dogs walk, run and jump better in as little as 21 days^3,4. Hill’s^TM Prescription Diet^TM Feline j/d ^TM is also available from vets and is formulated to improve mobility in cats in just 28 days.

How Does it Work?

The vets and nutritionists at Hill’s^TM say this research hails a breakthrough in the understanding of how fatty acids can support the joints of pets suffering osteoarthritis. Fish oils contain high levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA can down-regulate the enzymes that degrade cartilage. Cartilage helps to provide a buffer within the joint and as it degrades, arthritis tends to get worse. High levels of omega-3 fatty acids can also help to reduce inflammation.^5,6

The experts at Hill’s^TM say that in 21 days a dog with mobility problems fed j/d will walk, run and jump better and a cat on j/d will show visible improvements in 28 days. The company vets point out that the level of fish oils that has to be added is significant and needs to be looked at in the context of the whole diet – which may already contain certain types of fatty acids that don’t allow fish oils to exert an optimal effect.

Case Study

Judith was a healthy, active one-year-old Labrador retriever puppy who loved nothing more than running around open spaces, until one day she twisted awkwardly and damaged the elbow joint in her front right leg.

“Within a few months of that, arthritis had set in and Judith had become an ‘old dog’… cranky, reluctant to go for walk or even to get up from her bed some days, and she hadn’t even reached her second birthday. On the advice of my vet, we started feeding her j/d along with her anti-inflammatory medication. We couldn’t believe the change. She got her youth back in days and became the little bundle of energy she used to be… and that was over many years ago. She still loves her j/d twice a day – it’s what’s keeping Judith going strong!”

Hello June – Garlic is very safe in SMALL monitored amounts for dogs.  I have used garlic for years in small amounts…  Many of my clients use Garlic but all are small amounts of usage.

The NuVET Plus has garlic and brewer’s yeast in each wafer or powder supplement.
Everything is moderate dosages of herbs and vitamins.  We have had great luck with the NuVET program – it is an immune system booster and allergy Blaster.

Now, as far as fish oil – I like PURE salmon oil better.
You can use a small amount of Salmon oil per day – mixed into the food.

Vaccines: Oh, Boy – that is a CAN of WORMS….
I like to spread out vaccines and omit a few if needed.
I go by Dr. Dodd’s Vaccine list:  ( you can do a search on her)

7 Ways Fish Oil for Dogs Can Boost Your Pet’s Health

Perhaps better known as omega 3’s, the essential fatty acids of ALA, DHA and EPA are required for your dog’s cellular health. They also inhibit the development of prostaglandins. Left unchecked, prostaglandins can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
In short, fish oil is highly beneficial for dogs.
Here are 7 ways Lucy can benefit:

•Soothe dry, flaky skin
•Give your pet a shiny, healthy coat
•Reduce inflammation
•Heart health
•Vision
•Boost immune system
•Even healthy adrenal function

According to health guru Dr. Andrew Weil, veterinarians now recommend fish oil for dogs with allergies, kidney disease, arthritis and high cholesterol.
It’s a natural anti-inflammatory which is crucial for disease prevention. \
What’s the Right Fish Oil Dosage?

The right fish oil for dogs dosage is based on weight.

For example, if you used this fish oil, you’d give a larger dog (more than 20 lbs.) ¾ of a capsule each day for a 1500 mg dose.
For smaller dogs, you could puncture the capsule and squeeze some of the oil onto the food.
Of course, you should always check with your veterinarian whenever you add something new like a supplement and to get the right ratio for your pet.
Some dogs may require a higher dosage to reap the biggest benefits.
For example, dogs with allergies or other health concerns may need more omega 3’s for the greatest health benefits.

Health Products For People & Pets: Fish Oil Shown To Reduce Osteoarthritis Symptoms In Dogs

Recently 3 studies were done by The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) that have indicated that diets rich in fatty acids may reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis in dogs and improved mobility and showed less pain. This is excellent news because we finally have the clinical proof that fish oil is beneficial to our dogs diets.

One paper titled, “A multicenter study of the effect of dietary supplementation with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids on carprofen dosage in dogs with osteoarthritis”, studied whether dogs with supplementation ended up receiving less of the anti-inflammatory drug carprofen. The dosage of carpofen was decided based on investigators’ assessments of 5 clinical signs and owner assessments of 15 signs of osteoarthritis. In dogs with supplemented diets, the dosage of carprofen they received decreased significantly faster over the 12-week study period that in the control group. The teams conclusion was that where dogs are receiving carprofen to reduce pain, a diet with increased omega-3 fatty acids will decrease the carprofen dosage required for alleviation of symptoms.

A second paper, titled “Multicenter veterinary practice assessment of the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on osteoarthritis in dogs” had researchers investigating the effect of food containing high concentrations of fish oil omega-3 fatty acids and a low omega-6–omega-3 fatty acid ratio on the clinical signs of osteoarthritis in dogs. According to the owners of dogs on a supplemented diet, their dogs had a significantly improved ability to rise from a resting position and play at 6 weeks and improved ability to walk at 12 and 24 weeks after starting feeding.

The last paper, titled “Evaluation of the effects of dietary supplementation with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids on weight bearing in dogs with osteoarthritis”, investigated the effects of a food supplemented with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids on weight bearing in dogs with osteoarthritis. The team concluded that dogs eating the supplemented food had improved weight bearing.

These studies did not state the type or grade of fish oil they used. However, most experts recommend supplement your pet’s diet with a pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Inferior fish oils can be contaminated with mercury and other toxins so it’s best to research the fish oil supplement you will be using.

On a personal note, we have used SeaLogix Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil with our dogs for over 6 years. We started using it, combined with a supplement called Agility, with our dog Storm who had severe hip and elbow dysplasia. Storm had both surgeries but we needed to keep him pain free. By the time he was 8 years old (he had both surgeries before the age of 1) he cried when he stood up or sat down. I believe, due to these two supplements, that Storm lived a pain free life for his last 3 1/2 years. He no longer cried and actually ran around our 5 acre property with the younger dogs. Many people have asked “why not just feed a food with fish oil in it or glucosamine or msm already in it?” My answer to this is that the food supplement with these items is great, however what happens when your dog needs more because he or she is still in pain? Do you just increase the amount of food? When you use supplements you can add extra (example in those harsh cold winter months) if your dog is hurting or decrease the amounts if your dog is feeling fine. If you increase the amount of food you’ll only end up with an overweight dog which in turn will cause more problems.

Fish-oil to get Pets - Cheap Car Insurance + Other Ideas

Benefits of giving your pets fish oil

I have a black cat and periodically, I have black foster cats. I notice that they look like they have dandruff sometimes. It is common in cats of all colors but it is more noticeable in black kitties. I have “cured” this dandruff by using a supplement containing fish oil, flaxseed oil and borage oil. (You can also use a supplement of only fish oil) According to the bottle, this pill contains Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA, ALA), omega 6 fatty acids (CLA, GLA, ALA), and omega 9 fatty acids (OA). Surprisingly, fish oil has many benefits for our pets.

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. Fish, in turn, obtain EPA and DHA from algae, making super green foods such as marine micro-algae an alternate source of EPA and DHA. Algae may become the dominant source of omega-3 fatty acids as fish populations continue to decline in the world’s oceans.

Fish oil supplementation may be helpful for pets with inflammatory diseases including allergies, arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, and cancers. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Fish oil does not appear to raise blood sugar levels in pets with diabetes despite earlier concerns about this.

Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA,) an omega-3 fatty acid that is ultimately converted to EPA and DHA. In fact, flax seed oil contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) than fish oil. It also contains omega-6 fatty acids. Unlike the case for fish oil, there is little evidence that flaxseed oil is effective for any specific therapeutic purpose with the following exceptions. Flax seed oil can improve the coat and skin of pets. Also, the lignans contained in flax seed oil may have anti-cancer benefits.

In pets with some types of cancer, fish oil appears to slow down the growth of the cancer. While more studies are needed on other types of cancer, the general recommendation is to add fish oil to the diets of all pets with cancer.

Higher-end pet food brands may state on their label that their food has omega 3 fatty acids in it, often in the form of fish meal. Even if the proper fish were used to make fish meal, EPA and DHA are too fragile to survive the shelf life of commercial pet food. The only reliable source of EPA and DHA is salmon oil in capsules.

I use capsules sold for humans.  They are of the same quality (maybe better) than the pet capsules and they are much cheaper. I put one capsule in about 3 oz. of wet food (you can also put it over dry food). I give it 2 or 3 times a week. It is cheaper for me to give it only a few days a week and I still get the same result as I did when I gave it everyday. To release the oil, I poke the capsule with a safety pin or thumb tack. Be sure to rinse off the thumb tack or whatever you use. The fish oil tends to stay on it and will pool underneath it and become a sticky mess after awhile. Don’t use a pen! It won’t work after you use it.
