Experience a small dog introduction
Jing Jing is a small dog with hair, almost seven years old,
The coat will shed hair seasonally, twice a year, and slightly at other times,
Sometimes there will be skin itching problems, will take the feet scratching.
Have you noticed a similar situation in dogs?
Considering her situation and the physical needs of dogs who eat most of the dog food for a long time, I chose this one for Jing Jing-Ocean Star.®SOS salmon oil.
Why give your dog fish oil?
When it comes to hair beauty and skin improvement, many parents may choose to feed dogs with hair cream such as hair beauty powder. Personally, I do not approve of this additive nutrition (I also do not like to feed dogs with synthetic snacks (')), unless it is not a nutrient that relies on synthetic nutrient elements to supplement elements.
It is naturally the best to get the nutrients your body needs from natural and healthy foods. If you want hair, it is a great choice to insist on feeding your dog [fish oil, flaxseed oil, coconut oil].
For dogs that have been eating dog food for a long time, it is necessary to supplement [Omega 3], but Omega 3 has very few food sources. The main food source is deep-sea fish. If you have energy and patience, you can feed your dog fresh deep-sea fish, but it doesn't matter if you are lazy, because there is fish oil!
Fish oil can improve the quality of your dog's skin and hair, and is good for your eyes and joints, so you can't go wrong with feeding fish oil to your dog!
How about ocean star fish oil? Look here!
Ocean Star is a British brand. I believe it is no stranger to all of you. Their main fish formula food is simple in ingredients and not easy to be allergic, but it contains less meat, which is a bit low in cost performance for its price. Although their food is now made by a domestic brand manufacturer, the fish oil is still imported. According to the product details page, we can know that this fish oil is made in Norway.
If you choose fish oil, I think the source of fish is more important. After all, deep sea fish has the problem of heavy metal pollution, so choosing a trustworthy brand is also very important.
Next, the main character of this trial will come on stage!
500ml is very heavy. It can be eaten for a long time for a small dog who eats a small spoonful a day. Fish oil is an important thing to stick to, otherwise you can't see any effect.
This fish oil bottle is a brown plastic bottle, which is good for keeping out of light.
Turn the bottle around and you can see the clearly marked shelf life and bar code. However, there is no production date on the bottle. I guess the shelf life of fish oil should be one to two years.
Twist open the bottle cap, the inside is such a shape, which helps to pour fish oil down the river without spilling it outside.
However, I regret to tell you that the design of this bottle mouth is a big bug. The original design did not play a drainage role. Instead, fish oil will flow to the bottle when pouring, which causes a lot of waste. I hope the manufacturer can improve the design of the bottle!
When I poured out the fish oil, I smelled a smell of seaweed and fish. The color of the fish oil was red, while the fish oil on the publicity page was golden. Perhaps it was a problem of seasonal batch production?
On the group photo! A really big bottle, right?
Jing Jing is guessing what good things are?
Ocean Star fish oil and fish oil comparison
I listed three common fish oils other than Ocean Star, and made a small comparison of their prices and raw materials.
It can be seen that the fish oil raw materials on the market are basically imported, and the price of Ocean Star is very low. Perhaps it is also because of the different specifications in this comparison. Generally, the larger the bottle, the more cost-effective.
The palatability of ocean star fish oil
Generally speaking, Jing Jing doesn't like to eat things with heavy fishy smell, but some dogs love to eat fish very much, so in terms of the palatability of fish oil, I think it varies from dog to dog. I hope that fish oil can maintain the most natural taste as much as possible. After all, adding various flavorings to enhance palatability must not be welcomed by everyone.
Jing Jing, look at what is delicious. Jing Jing has always been curious about new things and unpacking packages.
Show me what's delicious! This ......(⊙v ⊙) well, wait for Wang to identify it carefully.
Forget it, slip away......
Although the taste of this fish oil is not very pleasing to Jing Jing, it doesn't matter. We can mix it with food to feed it. After all, the amount of fish oil fed every day is very small, which will not cause the dog's resistance. A proper smell of fish may even bring up the dog's appetite.
[Note]: A small amount of fish oil must be fed for the first time, and a little more to a constant amount. The first time I fed Jing Jing, I mixed a spoonful of her dog food. As a result, she vomited. Later, she reduced it to half a spoonful and fed it for two days. After slowly increasing the amount, there was no vomiting and the stool was normal.
The effect of sea star fish oil tasting
From August 21 to August 31, it took just 10 days to feed.
As Jing Jing has entered the changing period, the change of wool quality is unknown, but we can look at the change of wool gloss.
In order to make the photos more objective, I chose the same place: under the bedroom window; The same time: around 8:30 a.m.; The same part: the thigh root and the lateral abdomen.
August 21st
August 25th
August 31st
It can be seen that after ten days of continuous feeding of fish oil, the brightness of beautiful coat hair has been improved, so fish oil must be fed consistently!
Finally, is ocean star fish oil worth buying?
In my opinion, as an imported fish oil, and the manufacturer is also a relatively powerful British pet brand, the quality is guaranteed to a certain extent, and the price is also very affordable compared with other fish oils, so ocean star fish oil is worth becoming your choice for babies!
Finally, I would like to stress it again: fish oil is really a good thing. Don't feed your dog all kinds of powder and cream. Fish oil is a natural nutritional supplement and hair supplement for dogs. Your baby is definitely worth having!
Jing Jing and everyone will see you next time! ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
