Fish Oil For Dogs
One of my partners called me yesterday, and he wanted to tell me about what one of the participants in our test group had told him. Our test group took my ultra pure pharmaceutical grade fish oil for a couple months, before we released it, and the female participant that had spoken to my partner was, for lack of a better term, our guinea pig.
The woman is a nurse at a dialysis clinic, is around 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 9 and 10 years old.
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 higher levels of EPA/DHA in my formula, which she wasn’t getting in the stuff she picked up at the drugstore.
Her primary reason for trying out the fish oil was in order to reduce her arthritic pain. She’s a nurse, and on her feet for many, 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 being on the fish oil formula for a month and feeling much better, she had the idea to give the dogs one soft gel at the same time as they ate their dog food. In only two weeks, the dogs’ energy levels were markedly increased and Shea was walking without a hitch.
Now I know this is not scientific, and I’m far from a veterinarian. I really don’t know what to make of it, other than it’s a good story. But if it has benefits…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 the function of your heart, joint, and brain.
Alzheimer’s is the #1 health fear of my generation, and the one that follows, too.
