Grizzly Pet Products Salmon Plus Omega 3-6-9 Food Supplement for Dogs and Cats, 8 Ounce

I previously had our dogs on the liquid version of the Nordic Naturals fish oil supplements that the human members of our family have been taking. I would measure out each dog's amount and drizzle over their dinner. They weren't particularly thrilled with the oil addition, but it was disguised in their food. After reading about Grizzly Salmon Oil about a year ago, I decided to give it a try. It is SO much more convenient. I keep the pump dispenser in the fridge and then just pump the appropriate number of "squirts" onto each pooch's breakfast and dinner...1 pump for our little one and 5 pumps for the big guy every day. Just takes seconds to do AND no measuring spoons to use and clean. The Grizzly Salmon Oil continues to give them beautiful coats, non-itchy skin, and helps to protect the health of their hearts and joints. The quality of the salmon oil and the convenience are great selling points. But the best part? Our dogs LOVE the taste. UPDATE (Feb, 2013) -- I decided to switch to Alaskan Bear Treats for a few weeks just out of curiosity. Frankly my switch was based on a few reviews saying that it was better quality. Were my dogs missing something? Anyway, at the time I ordered, the only size available on Amazon Prime for the Alaskan Bear Treats was in 8 oz. bottles so I bought a few bottles since we have two dogs and one is really big. The differences? The Alaskan Bear Treats (ABT) oil is a bit of a brighter orange color and smells different. They both smell a bit "fishy," but there seems to be some other aroma with the ABT. Maybe the rosemary extract smells stronger? Both have rosemary extract included as a natural fat preservative. There's been some concern about the use of rosemary in dog products because of the risk of seizure. Most of what I've investigated seems to indicate that it is really only a concern for dogs which are already seizure-prone, though, so I haven't felt it was an issue for mine. According to websites, both brands are extracted from wild Alaskan salmon and are tested for mercury, cadmium, and other metals/toxins (and both are considered well within safe levels). With both brands, my dogs retained their beautiful coats and non-itchy skin; plus they seemed just as happy with the taste of it. The most significant difference (and for me it was a biggie!) is the cost. The initial cost of the ABT is much more than GSO...although, granted, it might not have been as HUGE of a difference if I had been able to buy ABT in the 32 oz size rather than the small 8 oz bottle. The dosage on the ABT's 8 oz bottle said 1 squirt for every 10 pounds of dog TWICE a day. Maybe not an issue with 1-2 small dogs; but this involved 24 "squirts" per day in our household and those 8 oz bottles emptied very quickly. This compares to my dogs' 6 daily squirts of the GSO. The pump bottles don't dispense the exact same amount (2ml for ABT vs 3.5ml for GSO according to bottle info); but still the difference in dosage equates to about 48ml/day for ABT as opposed to just 21ml/day for GSO. I'm finishing up my last bottle of Alaskan Bear Treats, but have already ordered a new large bottle of Grizzly Salmon Oil. The ABT appears to be a quality supplement also; but, with no apparent added benefits, my wallet can't handle the difference in price.

This supplement has quickly become a favorite in our house, not just for me, but for my dog. The supplement blends seamlessly into meals, and my pup actually looks forward to it, which says a lot because he’s usually picky. I love that it supports shiny coats, healthy skin, and overall wellness without any hassle. The quality feels premium, and I appreciate that it’s made for both dogs and cats, giving versatility if you have multiple pets. It’s an easy, practical way to boost my dog’s nutrition while keeping him happy. Basically, a win-win that even makes me excited to scoop it into his bowl every day. No issues with leakage from the bottle!

I just want to say thank you to seller and also to Grizzly for providing such a high quality product. I’ll admit I have just opened the Amazon box and haven’t used yet- if there are any problems I’ll change this review and contact seller, but I’m confident that this will be a great product and here’s why ( /what I wish everyone would know about this product) : (I’m going to preface to say that because this took me a while to order bc of standard misinfo/disinfo/ internet confusion, I’m going to try to clear it up for some, but bc its a bit complicated, this will likely be a long review. I don’t care. If it helps a dog then it helps a dog, but I’ll add a TLDR at the bottom if you’d like to check) Fish oil is a popular staple for dog supplements because of its many purported health benefits. Now, I’ve skimmed many reviews recently about switching to things like green lipped mussels or similar supplements due to environmental effects of fish oil sales. I don’t dispute that but don’t know enough on the subject to add comment at this time. My review will be based solely on what I know about this fish oil supplement for those who will definitely be purchasing fish oil. I’m not at all affiliated with any brand or seller nor do I receive compensation for any review (nor do I even like leaving reviews of commenting publicly in general, rlly), nor am I an expert in the field or a vet. I do love animals though and my dog is my baby, so I’d like to give everyone with similar sweet pets access to what I learned while searching for the healthiest fish oil supplement for her, because you’re in charge of keeping your animal healthy re: food/ supplements, they can’t do it themselves- and also because there’s so much disinfo from marketing ploys out there. When searching online for best fish oils I came across many “best dog supplements” lists- often touting other brands as their #1 rated due to lower cost or popularity. I don’t put too much stock in these lists for (hopefully) obvious reasons, but will skim through to see if I can find info through certain patterns. Which is how I found Grizzly’s name; I noticed that the brand was on a lot of the lists and often held a high spot but based on the wording it didn’t seem to be because they’d paid to be on them or that they had reps constantly promoting them- most of the time they were mentioned for being pricier, almost as a penalty, but were still undeniably said to have exceptional and intensive quality control standards, as well as goals to be as environmentally friendly as possible and (most importantly) to provide the healthiest forms of fish oil for pets in the healthiest ways. [A lot of the lists seemed (to me at least) to just throw them in almost because they had to. As if to say, “well okay, I guess they’re really good at what they do so..fine, we’ll mention them, but ..hey! look over here!” ] The most popular on many lists is made by Zesty Paws- a product I ordered months ago for my dog when I was unable to quickly find access to what I considered a safe source for Grizzly oil. I have no qualms with ZP, nor do I consider it a bad product, (my dog is fine and it worked well enough-) but I also don’t know if it’s a great one because I’m not entirely sure of the standards they have for sourcing ingredients and creating their product. It is more affordable and it is fish oil, and fish oil does help her energy, so that bit is good. I’ll give them that. And maybe they deserve more cred from me, idk, but they don’t seem to be lacking in the credit dept so I’ll mention, I also noticed the ZP brand seemed to be everywhere and a top result on many lists, which generally makes me suspicious of fake reviews. Never knowing how to verify that, I eventually just googled “fake reviews” + the company’s name, and I was taken to a site that supposedly measures the validity of fake reviews and indeed did report a significant (I want to say like 25% or more?) of reviews being fraudulent. Grizzly had no such reports—though to be fair, I don’t know much about that site or how it measures validity of reviews so I won’t claim to know whether ZP employs such tactics. I will say though that the main thing that is important to me when choosing a product for my dog is to make sure it’s SAFE and that there are high standards of quality control in place to make sure no harmful ingredients or production methods will affect my friend, who is a senior dog I’ve had since she was a tiny baby. She would do just about anything for me and so I try to do my best to do what I can to keep her healthy & happy, even if it means spending severalllll hours policing research and info to find what is best for her, as she, like most of our pets, is completely dependent on her human friend to provide for her health needs. So to me, after reading about Grizzly’s stringent quality control policies/ production process, as well as the research they put into it, I found them to be my clear choice for her, even if it meant paying a heftier price. One little (read: actually quite big) problem: Because Grizzly is so tedious in maintaining a quality product, they don’t do online sells, and I don’t live near an area where their product is sold. Also, prices varied across third party sellers online and I was especially suspicious of purchasing from many Amazon sellers, without guarantee that their product would be the intended product I wanted. So I took to their website and learned: 1: Grizzly likes to support smaller businesses. ...I like that about any manufacturer because I think it speaks to their integrity and so ultimately to their product. Unfortunately this *also*meant that unless I was located near one of those small businesses (I’m not) it would be hard to find a guaranteed quality Grizzly product. 2. They also like to sell to small businesses because they can be sure to maintain standards of their product. I’m no business expert but their website explains something to the effect of —and this is me summarizing, but essentially: large chains like Walmart and Target often will want to provide the lowest cost option and so expect the manufacturer to sort of skimp or tone down the expensive bits to make it more affordable. I guess that should be obvious but I’ve become hyper aware of that truth when searching for products for pet products, especially after so many recalls, deaths, and injuries have been reported. And fish oil is one you want to get right, because of mercury content, etc, and ntm the apparently added potential for radioactive bits. Also environmental impact. So, ..yeah. 3. This brand seems to TRULY (bless them) and *genuinely* make efforts to make sure their product is good for your pet. They do this by production means, by research, and by choosing the safest ways to get it to your animal. ..But when third party sellers enter the mix, ones who were not given the green light by them to sell their product, the brand can have no knowledge of whether or not one of those sellers mishandles a product, uses expired products, or even waters it down/ changes its form in any way. As their site says, after receiving many complaints from people who bought rancid, expired, or low quality product from sellers who were not on Grizzly’s distribution lists, they felt they needed to clarify. They did so by making clear that their products bought on Amazon or other online sources are not bought from them and can be considered risky. They did however, provide a very short list of verified sellers which they do allow to sell their product on Amazon. They are sellers who are also on the list of places Grizzly distributes to, and my guess is that they remain on the list of verified Amazon sellers if they remain trusted by them and only removed when they’re not. (Meaning, if one of these sellers on the list starts shipping expired product quite frequently or something, and Grizzly starts getting calls, they’ll likely take them off the list on their website. That’s just my guess.) 4. Grizzly, realizing many people were going to keep buying risky products from risky sellers believing that they were buying Grizzly’s guaranteed product, seems to have decided that they would succumb to pressure and offer a less expensive product online. This product features a blue fish on the cover and is part of their health line. Their health line, while probably still top notch, is more affordable but contains less of the best active ingredients. It’s still safer and better for your pet to receive a quality fish oil than a rancid one from who knows where. They did however, as mentioned above, allow some online sellers to be listed as verified sellers by them on their own website, and allowed a select few of those to still sell their original premium formula, which has a peach colored fish on the bottle logo, (which even more confusingly also got a change in formula but only to make the product better with some sort of optimum epa content or something) Anyway, to get to the point: all of this was quite a minefield for me when looking to order the original (new actually, but still the optimal peach fish logo formula) I finally took the risk and ordered a 47$ or so 32 oz bottle from one of the sellers listed on their verified Amazon sellers and hoped for the best. That seller was Brask Pet Supply and I received it today. First, let me say the 32 oz bottle is HUGE- it’s the size of a shampoo bottle and should easily last the 6-8 months or so in the fridge that Grizzly’s site recommends. So let me just say, if you do order this, you could get away with a smaller bottle of the price bothers you. Second, I worried because I saw no expiration date and then worried more when I realized that it and the Grizzly barcode had been covered over with the sellers barcode. After taking a pic just in case and then scratching the sellers barcode off, I saw that the product is not soon to expire and seems indeed to be a good quality Grizzly product, still wrapped in the great and careful way Grizzly packages its products. TLDR: I wanted to write all of this because I was disheartened when I read many reviews of ppl claiming that the more expensive Grizzly products being sold online were from sellers who were “price gouging” because someone could get the same product for 15$ elsewhere. Not the case. 1. any Grizzly product sold online at substantially lowered price is either going to be the health line (blue fish) version, or will be expired, poor quality, or will have to have some good reason from the seller, perhaps overstock or going out of business sale idk, why they would lower the cost. But likely such sellers will usually not be verified and don’t offer the top notch product. 2. The reasons the products aren’t inexpensive are good ones- because they contain the purest and safest fish oil for your dog and the standards to make sure they won’t harm them. As well as lowest environmental impact by the company to do so. 3. By not researching these things and by making online complaints about cost, there is risk of Grizzly deciding not to sell their original formula or distributing to verified sellers and allowing them to do so anymore. And that would mean having to do more research to find such rare companies who choose safety and product integrity over quick profit and marketing tricks. (Btw- I’m sure there are other fish oil companies like that, I’m speaking for Grizzly only because I appreciate their enforcement of protocols to protect animals safety, feel they should be rewarded and not punished for their efforts, and also hope more businesses like that will have success enough to encourage those who aren’t to model themselves after their example) So thank you again to seller and to Grizzly for helping my dog be healthy. Also, sorry for length but if you are like me and will pore over data and research in science journals & customer reviews to help your dog, then I urge you: if you find something that can help another person or animal, especially in terms of health, don’t be afraid to be lengthy in explaining how and why. It could help my dog or someone else’s and those who don’t care don’t have to read.

My dog is special. He has some medical issues resulting from the residual effects of a disease he had as a puppy. As a result of that, along with the side-effects from a medication he's prescribed, he gets a dull coat and dry skin. To remedy that, I turned to omega-3 supplements. I initially tried #1: Amazing Nutritionals Omega-3 Fish Oil Chew-able Tablet for Dogs, 120 tabs These worked well. It was easy to regulate his dosage at meal time, he loved the taste, he digested them well, and he had marked improvement in his coat. It was shinier and he was less prone to shedding on a gradual timescale. As a plus to me, it was odorless, easy to handle, and easy to store - basically all the things that would sound obvious gives an advantage to a solid tablet over a liquid oil. Additionally, as cost will be mentioned later, $/dosage is pretty reasonable. He was on this, twice daily, for about a year. That is how much I loved this product. However, I was never "moved" to do a review. However, after some increased dosage of his prescription and some other factors, his skin started to get much drier. His coat went back to being dull, and he was shedding much more often. He would get hot spots and his skin would break out horribly. I decided the tablets were not enough. Then I moved on to #2: Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Dog Food Supplement in Pump-Bottle Dispenser, 16 Ounces Any feelings I had about #1's effectiveness was blown out of the water within only about 3 days of using this product. I very quickly saw improvements in my dog's skin and coat (much more quickly than with the tablets). His shine returned, he's less prone to shedding, and his skin has been clearing up. I had to restrain myself from posting a rave so quickly about this product because I thought there'd be some backfire (and I rarely ever review products). But no - he consistently loves the taste, digests it well, and his skin/coat continue to improve. The cons of it are you would maybe expect: it smells, it's somewhat more difficult to dose, and the pump bottle is poorly designed in slight ways around the margins. Additionally, the price is pretty steep in comparison to the tablets in terms of $/dosage (about twice as much for me). These things, however, are not nearly enough for me to detract a single star away from this product. Its effectiveness is superior and my dog's skin/coat and just overall health is greatly improved. Final verdict: These are both quality omega-3 dog food supplements. If you're in need of the best-in-quality for your dog's health, Grizzly Salmon Oil is the way to go. If you're more budget and/or smell conscious, Amazing Nutritionals Omega-3 Tablets are your go-to. However, since I'm shopping more for quality here, my edge goes to Grizzly. Grizzly Salmon Oil: 5/5 stars Amazing Nutrtionals Omega-3 Tablets: 4/5 stars. Final thoughts: I will be trying Grizzly's pollock oil in the near future when my dog's skin/coat improve some more. It's supposed to be a more budget-conscious omega-3 supplement, yet does not necessarily boast all of the same health claims. I'll update later if I do.

Just starting to use for my pup. “WISH” it had a spray option on the pump. Dog still getting used to the smell and flavor on his healthy (chicken-based) kibble, but he is eating it and I can mix it with the other kibble pieces. Hope it helps his skin!

I have been using salmon oil for my German Shepherd since she adopted me from the shelter 9 months ago. When I first got her she had horrible dandruff, was scratching constantly, had a very dull coat, horrible shedding, and was scooting her butt everywhere. Since shelters pretty much feed what is donated to them it was very understandable. I researched the best thing to help alleviate these conditions and about 99% of what I found was SALMON OIL added to their food. She is fed only a high quality grain free food and I squirt the recommended amount right over the top. She turns her nose up now if it doesn’t have her fish oil in it. All of the issues she had have completely been resolved. No dandruff. No but scooting. No scratching. Much less shedding although shepherds do shed year round. A BEAUTIFUL SHINY COAT OF HAIR. Yes, there is a very slight fishy smell, but really? It’s fish oil. What would you expect? Lavender and roses? I love this product and will continue to use it forever. The only suggestion or too I would give is to maybe make the spout it pumps out of to turn downwards more. It squirts almost sideways and it went all over my counter on the first squirt. Not downwards into her bowl as expected. So a more downward curved spout would be perfect! Another big bonus is it is all American products and MADE IN THE USA!!! Made in the state I live and not too many miles away. BONUS BONUS BONUS. Supporting a USA business as well as one in my own state. It can’t get any better than that! AMBER SAYS THANK YOU ALSO. BARK BARK BARK.

I have a cardigan corgi. Corgis have issues with anal glands filling quickly and (according to the vet) don't need high protein diets. Since he is the only dog I have, I switched him to Blue Buffalo dog food about 9 months ago. He needs less to feel full, almost never touches the cat food (he will wolf it down if given the opportunity) and gets high quality nutrients I am comfortable with that has little to no allergens. After about 6 months, I noticed he was having a lot of constipation. He put in a lot of effort to pass his bowels so I consulted with a vet. She said he wasn't getting enough fat in his diet and too much protein, which is bad for corgis. There were also issues with potential allergies and infections (his ears are very susceptible. He takes benadryl to prevent severe infections.) I couldn't find breed specific dog food for him since it was discontinued. I switched him to a lower quality food that had a trivial amount of difference between the protein/fat ratios compared to Blue Buffalo. The Nutro brand just didn't cut it. He needed more to feel full so even though the dog food was a bit cheaper, it cost more in the long run. I checked other dog foods. There isn't a dog food out there that has a high enough amount of fat and low enough amount of protein to justify lowering his food quality to that level. Most dog foods are very close in those numbers. Before switching back, I bought the smallest bottle of this to give it a try. The additional fat included in his diet made his BM's much smoother, faster and require less effort. I mean, he'll poop 5 times a day and it's piles you'd expect from dogs weighing over 100lbs. I became more comfortable with the idea of switching back to Blue Buffalo. He's back on it and is passing his bowels at a normal intensity. He still goes a lot throughout the day but it's not falling out of him or requiring a lot of effort. As far as I can tell, it doesn't bother his palate. He also enjoys coconut oil, which I use to encase his medicine. I'm going to continuing buying this and adding it to his diet. This product is amazing and I'm very happy!

I have two pups - one middle-aged and the other is a senior. This product has made their coats look shiny and the picture of health, making them even more beautiful (yes - I'm a proud mom). Another big plus is I no longer see dandruff on the senior dog which is a huge relief. Their poops seem healthier which is also great news and they both seem to like the taste of it - although neither is a picky eater. The only drawback is the delivery system. About half way through the bottle, I had to turn it on its side to get a pump out of it and now it is about 1/4 way full and I'm pouring it into their food.
