Nutramax Welactin Omega-3 Fish Oil Skin and Coat Health Supplement Liquid for Dogs – 16 Ounce

Has Seemingly Transformed My Dogs Vitality
I started giving my basset hounds this product a few years ago upon the recommendation of both their long-time veterinarian and that of a canine oncologist, whom I had asked what preventative steps I could take to reduce their chances of getting cancer. I did not expect to see any great, immediate changes in my dogs’ behavior or outward health. However, within two weeks of using it, I was truly amazed by the difference it made in their energy, vitality, and over-all wellness, especially with regard to my older dog. His energy level shot through the roof and he started acting like a rambunctious two-year-old again (he was about six or seven at the time). My younger dog responded in the same way, but it was especially marked in my older dog. In the time my dogs have been on it, there have been some occasions when I have run out of the product for two or three weeks at a time; at such times, I have definitely noticed the difference its absence makes. Especially in my older dog, I see a definite reduction in energy, playful mood, and endurance when I stop using the supplement for any substantial length of time. I have recommended a trial of this product to various family and friends for their dogs after seeing what a positive difference it has appeared to make in mine. The one caveat I will add is that — as with most fish oil supplements, I believe — some dogs with digestive issues like GERD may have problems tolerating it. My older dog is such a dog and so I only give him about half of the daily recommended dose of the product or I skip days between doses if he starts having issues with burping, reflux, etc. Even though my younger dog has no such GI issues, it is simpler to give them both the same amount of product and that is what I do, so I cannot speak for the effect of the full, recommended dose. However, this reduced dose usually is tolerated by my older gent, and his behavior seems to indicate that it is still enough to make a quite remarkable improvement in his outward health and vitality. Nutramax seems to be a responsible company and seems to project a sense of integrity that also helps me to feel more hopeful that the product is well and responsibly sourced and manufactured. I hate the fact that so many pharmaceuticals are no longer USA-sourced and I definitely would seek the products of any domestic company whose standards are of high quality. I am hopeful this is the case with Nutramax, as my dogs seem to have done so very well with this product.

This Works and Helps Our Dog’s Joints
Our dog has issues with the ligaments in one of her hind legs. When it flares up, she noticeably limps or simply wouldn’t use the one leg. Our Vet recommended this product and it noticeably works. We do NOT feed her with kibble dog food as that seemed to make things worse for her. Our Vet recommended several dog food products that also improved our dog’s issue but adding Welactin made her start running around like a young, pup – She’s 9 years old. Her coat has benefited as well. I can highly recommend this product. We were buying it from the Vet but found Amazon’s price and the size of the bottle to be more cost effective.

Amazing product but stains everything!
Although this product stains everything in sight, I can’t give less than 5 stars because before finding it, my dog required expensive monthly allergy shots to manage non stop itching and licking. I followed the dosage on the bottle and after about a week I noticed the itching completely stopped. We haven’t been back to the vet for an allergy shot in almost 1 year. Shame on my vet for never mentioning this product, but wow am I thankful for finding it. One word of warning though – it will stain EVERYTHING! The picture I uploaded shows my dog’s stained placemat. The cabinet where I keep the bottle is similarly stained even though I initially placed it on a paper towel. The bottle oozes. And the oil will stick on your dogs hair around the mouth. These stains will not wash out. So just put down a mat under your dogs bowl. And store the bottle on an old plate you don’t care about ruining. It’s all worth it! I’ve tried both the soft gels and the liquid. The soft gels are easier to store/travel with and less messy…but more expensive. If you go that route, just pierce them with a safety pin and squeeze over kibble.
