Fish Oil Does The Body And Mind Good~Omegease

PicMonkey Collage

Look at how bald Glory is! Why is Glory so bald you ask? The above photos were taken the end of August just 7 weeks after whelping her first litter of 8 little burr heads.  Not only does the stress of having 8 little burr heads make you go bald (ok not really) the hormones really do a number on a dogs beautiful coat. A month earlier I won a bottle of Finest For Dogs new fish oil product Omegease from Jodi over at Heart Like A Dog. I was excited to win because I was already using one of Finest For Dogs products Rejenease for a good part of the year. I started Nellie who is 11 on it because she started limping and I am happy to say that ever since I started her on this joint supplement she hasn’t had a issue with limping since. Steve from Finest For Dogs told me he was in the process of making a fish oil supplement so I was excited to have won the product and try it out.

Omegease is a liquid fish oil supplement that comes from Wild Caught Fish which is different than Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil because it has a better source of DHA & EPA. It is also FREE of mercury and other contaminants so it makes it 100% pharmaceutical grade pure. It contains Omega 3, 6 & 9 fish oil.

You can either buy a 16 oz pump or a 32 oz pump bottle. According to Steven – One 16oz bottle gives 90 health-boosting daily doses to a 50lb dog for less than 25 cents a day. If you have a pack of dogs like I do then the 32 oz pump would be the one for you. I have been using it on all 4 dogs since September 1st. On a side note it travels really well to as we took a dog vacation to Saskatchewan took a bottle with me and had no problems with traveling. No mess no nothing.PicMonkey Collage2I will admit that I was using another fish oil product before Omegease, I was using capsules. The dogs were used to the capsules being thrown in with their food. The capsules did have a fishy odor to them so I was curious to find out how the dogs reacted to this new liquid. The liquid comes with a easy to use pump that you attach when you open the bottle. The directions on how much to use for the weight of your dog is right on the bottle. For the adult dogs it called for two pumps on the food once a day and the puppy it called for one pump. I pumped the liquid on the food, gave the food a quick swirl and put it down for the taste test.PicMonkey Collage4You can see here in the above photo that Preacher was excited to eat her food, she didn’t care at all that their was a new liquid on it. The fish oil really doesn’t have a smell, I know some do and some will make the dog smell fishy after eating Omegease didn’t do this. PicMonkey Collage5 Preacher licked her bowl clean and looked up at me for more! Because of the many health benefits of Omegease I wanted to get Preacher on it also as it helps boost the immune system, reduces inflammation, lubricates joints as well as supports heart health and brain function. Preacher is growing and going through all these health aspects so this would be a good product for her. It also will promote healthy skin which will lead to a shinier silkier coat. It will reduce shedding so your dog has a thicker coat.PicMonkey Collage7 Glory, Gambler and Nellie didn’t mind the change in fish oil supplement either. They all dug in and would lick their bowls clean too. Glory is the one I’ve been really keeping my eye on for the past 7 weeks to see how her hair coat looked after starting the Omegease. You saw in the beginning of this post she was bald. You can see in the photos below her hair coat has come back really nicely. No more bald spots or rat tail, her skin is looking really good, no dandruff and her coat is shinny. PicMonkey Collage8Omegease is for dogs and cats. You will see results in 30 days if not they will refund your money. Can’t go wrong there except you won’t be getting your money back and you will be buying more at least that is how it worked for me. I give this product 4 paws up!

Now the good news Steven has agreed to give 5 of my lucky readers (US readers only) a free 16 oz bottle of Omegease. The rafflecopter will be running for one week, winners will be notified and announced next week.

On a sad note please keep Sue and her Husband from Talking Dogs in your thoughts as their Jeffie crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. It is never easy to loose a fur loved one especially when it is sudden.

CREATION

When God made the Earth and sky, the flowers and the trees,

He then made all the animals, and all the birds & bees.

And when his work was finished, not one was quite the same,

He said, “I’ll walk this earth of mine, and give each one a name.”

And so he traveled land & sea, and everywhere he went,

A little creature followed him, until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth, and in the sky & sea,

The little creature said, “Dear Lord, there’s not one left for me.”

The father sniffed and softly said, “I’ve left you till the end,

I’ve turned my own name back to front, and called you Dog,

My friend”.

 

Monday Mischief~Solvit Bag Takes A Lickin Cuz Of The Jones Chews

Solvit Bag Takes A Lickin Cuz Of The Jones Chews

Mischief???? Not me?????

As you may know I work out of town on Monday and Tuesdays. I come home Tuesday nights and Wednesdays are one of my day’s off. Now after the gang has been kenneled for 2 days while we’re away working by Wednesday Gambler is wound tight (as most of my mischief stuff happens on Wednesday’s) he also knows Wednesday’s are for hunt test training. I was having one of those mornings…..when I had so much going on in my head I forgot what I was doing and once again  the mischief happened.

I didn’t leave my Solvit bag here.

I was packing up my stuff to go train, talking on the phone walked out the house with all my bags (all four of them) when I realized I needed to go back in the house and draw a picture of last weekend test so I can so the training group. I set my 4 bags down on the high porch chairs and table that are on my deck and went back inside to draw the picture. I was still talking on the phone, drawing the picture and headed back outside. I walked across the lawn and saw……….guess who……..standing over my Solvit bag with stuff pulled out of it! My friend proceeded to listen to me scream at GAMBLER!

Stuff pulled out through the side opening.

The Solvit bag holds dog treats, my video camera, my camera and it’s extra lens as well as other dog items. The item near the top of my photo is my video camera, the item in the middle is a poop bag the item in the front is my extra camera lens. Everything was covered in cut grass, it was a mess.

What a mess.

Now what might make a dog go stark raving mad and pull this heavy bag off of the table carry it to the middle of the lawn and rip stuff out of it to get to the good stuff…..the good stuff being Jones Natural Chews knee caps! Yup that’s right my gang loves Jones Knee Caps! Gambler loves them so much he thought he should help himself since I was tied up doing 5 things at once.

Jones Natural Chews knee caps are nummy! They make dogs go stark raving mad!

Now I must say, that Solvit bag is built Gambler tough on the outside. I was really cringing when I saw what he did, I thought he wrecked my nice bag. At first inspection it looked like nothing happened to it. I then opened it up and there was one little puncture hole in the lining of the flap and he tore the inside liner a bit. It could of been much worse and those things I can fit. The outside is made of some really rugged material.

The rip in the lining.

Good as new.

I took a broom to the outside of the bag and got all the grass off, I had to get all the grass off my camera and the other stuff that was in the bag. Have a slight repair to do but all in all this is one Gambler tough bag!

Thanks Solvit for making a rugged bag and thank you Jones for making tasty treats.

On a side note….poor Gambler didn’t get a knee cap that day nor has he gotten one yet. And like a dummy the knee caps are still in that bag and the bag is sitting on a chair in the house. Gambler did this all before he was a Canine Good Citizen so now that he passed his test I recon he won’t be getting into anymore mischief…..what do you all think? Should I not hold my breath??????

I’m a Canine Good Citizen now, I don’t do mischief.

Tasty Tuesday~Ultra Oil

logo

I was contacted by Ultra Oil For Pets and was asked if I would like to try out their product. Winter was almost over and I looked at the dog’s dry coat’s and said “why yes I would be glad to try it”. A sample arrived instantly.

287000-163x300This is what the company had to say about their product:

Born from the love of animals, Ultra Oil Skin & Coat Supplement is a pure gift from Mother Nature designed to alleviate the flaky skin, itching and excessive scratching that can result from deficiencies in a pet’s diet. This special formula of nutritional oils from Hempseed, Flaxseed, Grapeseed and Fish Oil provides the Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids pets need for healthy skin and shining coat. Added daily to a pet’s diet, Ultra Oil Skin & Coat Supplement provides the proper balance of nutrients for a healthy life.

Ultra Oil is the most effective way to relieve hot spots, allergic breakouts and other skin and coat irritations. Ultra Oil also relieves joint pain, dryness and excessive shedding – in addition to these other benefits:

  • Heart healthy, immunity and overall organ function.
  • Contains the crucial fat soluble vitamins, and minerals that are key to tissue repair
  • Doesn’t have that stinky fish smell
  • 100% Human Grade, and All Natural
  • Cold, Virgin Pressed
  • Non GMO
  • Hempseed oil is often referred to as nature’s most balanced source of Omegas.
  • Contains the full spectrum of healthy fats in the perfect balance. Omegas can’t be absorbed properly unless they have the proper balance of Omega 3,6 & 9. Fish oils are missing the proper balance of Omega 9.

We provide the best nutritional supplement made with the best ingredients nature can provide, helping each and every pet live a full, healthy life.

I read the label and for my gang who is about 70# each they needed 3 pumps once a day. I pumped it on their dog food and was leary if they were actually going to eat their food with oil on it. I was happily surprised when they all dug in and didn’t think twice about it.

I did this once a day for all three dogs until the bottle was gone. A 8-oz bottle lasted about three weeks. Not bad I thought for using it on 3 big dogs.

I liked the results I got from it. Glory had the worse dandruff and that all cleared up. Gambler and Nellie’s coats shinned and looked really good for being the end of the dry winter.

You can get Ultra Oil from their Ultra Shop .

16-oz for $25.99

32-oz for $32.99

I wasn’t asked to do this review. I was asked to try Ultra Oil, I was compensated 1 8-oz bottle to try. I liked the results so thought I would do a review on it.

Chesapeake’s are known for their “oily” coats. Some say you shouldn’t bath them let alone everyday as it will strip the natural oils off their skin and leave them vulnerable while hunting in the cold temperatures.  My Chesapeake’s live in the house with us, they sleep in our bed at night and they go hunting during the waterfowl and upland bird season. The area’s we hunt in are not ideal and the dogs come out black after hunting so they get a bath. That maybe twice in one weekend. RFCLS is formulated to be able to be used each day. It is gentile enough to be used on dogs that are in the harshest environment and need baths regularly. Their coats are dull and course before a bath and after they are shiny and soft, full and thick.
