Directions

Give one softgel capsule per 20 pounds of your dog’s body weight daily or as directed by your veterinarian. The softgel capsules may be given by hand as a treat.

Better than the Liquid

Better than the Liquid
My Vet recommended the Welactin Omega-3 fish oil for my allergy-stricken Pupcat. We did the liquid pump for a while, but I had to stop because the fishy smell was coming through on his hair, especially after a trip outside and my other little guy had THE WORST breath. They smelled like a stroll through the fish dept of a pet store! (Gag)The Vet really wanted us to stick with it, so I started buying it again and put it on “Subscribe & Save” but it continuously became unavailable. These capsules came up as an alternative one day so I tried them. MUCH BETTER!They contain a peppermint oil to control odor and IT WORKS! No more fish tank smell coming from my boys! We give it wrapped in a pill pocket and even if they break into the capsule, they just lap it up! I tried once to pierce the capsule and apply to food, which was easy, but since they take it with no issue as a treat, the pill pocket is less messy.One issue I do find is on subscribe & save, it’s been late. The packaging is always a mess but thankfully the bottle hasn’t been damaged yet even though the box always looks like it’s been through a war. I just hope the manufacturer keeps up the supply! I’d hate to see my boys riot when they don’t get their nightly treat!

I have purchased this product for years. After being out of stock for months, the liquid version seems to be back. It's much easier to use and measure than the capsules, which my dogs won't ingest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be careful of the odd batch
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023
Size: 120-CountVerified Purchase
I have been using this product for some time; Welactin was vet recommended and we have tried both the bottle and these capsules. I like the capsules better, personally, as they are easy to measure with no mess. However, they do sometimes send what I would consider a bad batch; my most recent came misshapen, stuck together, and with some odd cloudiness (branching?) inside part of the capsules. I will not give that to my dogs, throw it out, and will order another. These also can smell less minty and more stinky. The subscription method for ordering is convenient and on schedule for the pups as long as you get a good one. I would give 5 stars if I weren't sometimes getting a bad batch- I love the good stuff for my pets, but don't want to regularly reorder or lose money on the rest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Diarrhea Side Effect
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023
Size: 120-CountVerified Purchase
Nothing wrong with the product but buyer beware. your dog may not tolerate this very well. My dog developed diarrhea one day after giving him these pills. We tried pill pockets, mixing the capsule with his food and even opening the capsule and squirting the liquid in with his food. It did not work. I took him to the vet thinking that it was something he ate and the doctor told me to stop the Omega 3. Within two days my poor boy was back to normal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For My Dog
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
Size: 120-CountVerified Purchase
We have purchased the liquid and gel cap fish oil and find them both to be great products. This was recommended to us and used in the breeding mama dogs for a service dog organization- and for good reason! Implementing this product into my dog's everyday diet has dramatically increased the shine and health of her coat and skin. We get compliments on her coat all the time, and I always swear it's because she consumes this product. She also had a hip injury a year or two ago, so we're hoping it's helping her with that as well! I would recommend this product to every dog owner (with approval from their veterinarian, of course)
