We have a nearly 9 year old Malamute. He has a fabulous coat of hair but was starting to get chronic skin problems. The salmon oil cured him. The results were quick (within a month). The only "special" advice I would offer is KEEP IT REFRIGERATED. Our malamute is obsessively food-centric... he will eat almost anything; but when the last of the large bottle I was storing at room temperature (mid sixties) went rancid he refused his kibble. I made the mistake of buying 4 large bottles all at once. I suggest you get them one at a time and keep it refrigerated (even though it says you can keep it at room temperature).

Thank you for your inquiry. Our oil is regularly tested for mercury, PCB's and other toxins. All levels are below the method detection limit, meaning that the levels are so low that they cannot be detected. Because our oil is from all wild Alaskan salmon it is inherently free of the toxins that you are more likely to find in farmed fish and farmed fish products.

Best Deals for Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Dog Food Supplement in Pump-Bottle

Grizzly Salmon is a decent salmon oil supplement but we found that the Alaskan Bear Treats was a better quality of oil in color, smell, and freshness. Just our opinion and we found the Grizzly brand to be a bit too strong in smell and lingered way too long on our 100+lb dogs. If you're using a salmon oil to supplement then you likely can't go wrong with regard to the benefits as long as it's wild (not farm raised) and of a good manufacturing quality. Both Grizzly and Alaskan Bear Treats brands are good but we liked the ALASKAN BEAR TREATS better for the aforementioned reasons.

Edit: Thanks to the previous "commenter" for pointing out the minor error: we switched FROM Grizzly and BEGAN USING Alaskan Bear Treats and haven't looked back for all the reasons above. Also, it would be good to convey to consumers that a true "Wild Alaskan Salmon" source is better/safer than any other fish source for omega-3 fish oils (human supplements, too however, this product review is solely for canine consumption). The wild Alaskan salmon have certifiably lower heavy metal and toxin content than any other ocean fish. Alaskan Bear Treats (none-the-less sourced from a large Alaskan seafood purveyor) has that covered so we're very satisfied with the quality of the Alaskan Bear Treats supplement. Grizzly isn't bad (still true wild Alaskan salmon source, I believe) but we simply liked the quality of Alaskan Bear Treats much more.

Honest reviews on Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Dog Food Supplement in Pump-Bottle

I have used several commercially prepared products over the past twenty years. Grizzly Salmon oil seems to be providing the nutrients necessary for good coats on my dogs, and I have been putting two squirts into the dogs' food daily for about six months. I have three Labrador retrievers, and all are sporting their best coats. I have used Lipiderm in the past, which also works very well. I believe that quite a few of the products marketed for improving good skin and coats are effective, and occasionally try out a new one. I don't believe the advertisements, but prefer to read labels, look for key ingredients, and try for myself.

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 twice a 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 26 "squirts" per day in our household and those 8 oz bottles emptied very quickly. This compares to my dogs' 7 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 44ml/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.
