MaxiZoo Salmon Oil - Has anyone used this?

Louboutfan

Hi all,

Someone recommended Salmon oil as a supplement to add to my dogs food 3-4 times per week. The oil they recommended was from zooplus but I don't want to have to wait for the order to be delivered so I checked out Maxizoo yesterday and they also have this although not the same brand as the zooplus one.

Has anyone used the Maxizoo one before? Would appreciate some feedback thanks.

Have used it for my family's dog, he absolutely loves it and it seems to give him a good shine. I don't think there's any difference between the various salmon oils you can get, they all seem to have the same stuff in them

Salmon oil is great and have fed it to my dogs before. Id sya the oil is very expensive in the shops though. What size is the bottle and how much was it?
Probably much better value here:

I used to get it at the dog shows myself from this supplier.

I picked some up this afternoon. I think it was €14.99 for 425 mls. I've bookmarked that eBay seller for next time Andreac - thanks for that.

I got some cod liver oil from the chemist and put a drop on their food ever now and then. Its only about 2 or 3 euro for a big bottle.

I remember reading up on cod liver oil vs salmon oil a while back and from what I remember the cod liver oil was too high in the wrong omega-6's and not the good omega-3's and also too high in vitamin A I think it was. The salmon oil it turned out was much better for them.

I get tins of Salmon and Mackerel (in oil!!) for mine give it to them maybe every second week! I also go to local fish shop and get Salmon heads from them! he gives them free! I rip out the bottom jaw and boil them for a few mins and give to the dogs! they love them!! and there coats are so healthy from it!!

Flax or Linseed Oil is another great oil for coats and skin etc. I feed that to my dogs now.

You can buy Cod Liver Oil in 1lt bottles for horses, works out much cheaper about €8 for a lt. I give it to our dobies along with gloucosamine tabs in lidl for€1.49 keeps them as fit as a fiddle.

You can buy the same Healthy Hounds Salmon Oil (as per the eBay link) at Creavens Dog Food site. It's 14.49 including delivery for 500mls and they do one litre bottles as well.

I'm glad you reminded me because I meant to get some for my girl
