I went with Nordic Naturals because I trust these products and have used a few for myself. As hoped, this fish oil supplement seems to be helping my little old man move around better and feel better in short time.
My 18 years old kitty is healthy save for some arthritis and a slightly shaggy, dandruff laden coat. I purchased this to help his skin and fur, but also because I read that fish oils help with inflammation and pairs well with use of glucosamine supplements. I chose products in liquid form because my boy is super picky and would never eat a soft chew. He doesn't even like the supplements mixed in with his food, but seems more receptive over a chew. Also, I can administer it as needed. And most days that is what I do.
With his arthritis, he hasn't been able to jump up, and he tends to favor a leg. I have made adaptations (moving litter boxes, having more sleeping areas lower to ground, or easier to get to, bought some pet stairs and ramps for easier access, etc). The vet said to try a couple of supplements (specifically glucosamine/condroitin and a fish oil) rather than going on a prescription. So that is what brought me here to look for something for him. He has been on this for 2-3 weeks now. I would say it was within a few days I noticed that he was coming out and about more. He likely wont be returning to jumping up on stuff (but who knows!) but he has has a smoother gait as he walks. He had been hanging out in one room, but now he seems to feel well enough to come out into a couple more rooms. I have areas set up with pet stairs so he can at least get up onto some low climbers and sleep (and hang out with his family!!). There is no shortage of options for him, and I am glad he is making use of the few easier ones I have for him.
He looks more perky, and there is a little more sheen to his coat. This is the other item I am using along side with it.
