Fish Oil For Dogs

Posted: March 15th, 2009 | Author: Dr. Bill |

One of my partners called me this morning to relate a story that came from a woman who was part of the test group for my Dr. Bill’s Powerhouse Omega Formula. What this means is that she was a volunteer guinea pig, and got to take what would be the formula for a couple of months before we released it.

The woman in question is a nurse at a dialysis clinic, is around 50 years of age, widowed, and has two dogs, (real dogs…not those minature 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 using fish oil was to reduce arthritic discomfort. At fifty, and being a full time nurse, she is on her feet for many, many hours at a time, and its taken its toll on her.

After a month on my Powerhouse Omega Formula she reported substantial relief from her discomfort, saying it was almost like she had new legs.

Here’s where the story goes to the dogs.

Her hounds, Shea and Shaggy, were not as active as they used to be, and Shea had a little hitch in his giddyup. After a month of taking fish oil herself, she started giving a soft gel a day to the dogs along with their afternoon treat. In two weeks time, the dogs seemed to get their old mojo back, and Shea lost his hitch, and is walking normaly.

Now I know this is not scientific, and I’m certainly not a veterinarian. I really don’t know what to make of it other than its a good story. But if it works…I’m not going to stand in the way.

But back to the dogs’ owner. She isn’t the only one reporting that pharmaceutical grade fish oil is effective in the fight against common arthritic discomfort. Pharmaceutical grade fish oil is a potent weapon in the fight against many joint ailments of various stripes and colors.

Pharmaceutical grade fish oil can assist your heart, your joints, and your brain. A study I read today from Columbia University Medical Center in New York says that omega 3 fatty acids may help decrease the risk for Alzheimer’s by 19 to 24%.

Alzheimer’s is the #1 health fear of my generation, and the one that follows.
