oily fish and supplements
« on: June 10, 2007, 01:39:26 PM »
I am often reading that lots of you give your cockers fish like sardines and pilchards...do you just buy the tins, or the actual fish ?

Also do you feed any supplements and do you find they make a difference?

I buy tins of sardines, mackeral or pilchards in oil. Tried in tomatoe sauce and whilst they loved it, it upset Woody's tummy  ::)

Paddy gets both sardines and mackerels but I give him the ones in sunflower oil, to up the essential fatty acid intake.  He doesn't really like them and really dislikes the ones in tomato sauce but tough luck - he needs to eat them!  I also supplement about 4 or 5 days a week with 1000 mg of fish oil (fish body oil, not cod liver oil) plus 100 i.u. capsules of Vitamin E Oil - they work in harmony to maximise absorption and feeding one without the other can cause a deficiency.
