Confused Confused

What kind/brand of salmon oil did you get? The one we have isn't stinky, there is just a slight odor. But I know some people are more sensitive to smells than others.

How are you storing it? We keep ours in the refrigerator (especially in warmer months) so that it stays cool. I wonder if that would make a difference?

Heh yah it's smelly. We have "Grizzly Salmon Oil" for Rosie on occasion - it's more of a treat for her or when we feel she hasn't drank enough (usually not a problem - she's always begging for more water)

You put the salmon oil in their water?? I tried putting it on their food. They seemed to like it fine, but I was worried that the oil might make their poop runny--they usually have poop issues! How often do you give it? Daily?
