What's Good For Us Is Good For Our Pet's

My husband and I take an Omega Fish oil every day. There are so many proven medical health benefits to taking fish oils. So when we brought home our 2 German Shepherd puppies I started doing research on dogs, their diets, and of course important vitamins for dogs. In my research I found that there are similar benefits for dogs as there are for humans in taking fish oils. We give our dog's 1 Omega Fish oil pill a day. Most dogs like fish so it's easy to just pour the liquid into their mouths. I simply tell them it's vitamin time, and they walk over to me and sit right away as I drop the liquid right onto their tongues!

When we are at the dog park we often get compliments on our dog's coats and people ask what we feed them, or how often we groom them.

German Shepherds are prone to bad dander and Eczema and problematic skin and shedding. By supplementing their diet with fish oils we have managed to reduce their shedding, and given them nice shiny coats. Here are the Benefits of Fish Oil for Dogs.
