Can anyone recommend a mercury free fish oil brand for a dog with hip dysplasia?
I've been looking at them and none of them that I see say mercury free. I must be looking in the wrong place so any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.

I have personally been using (and liking) KRILL OIL. Try that!


Available anywhere.

I use one from www.progressivelabs.com (EPA/DHA) but not sure if it is mercury free. It is Menhadden cold water fish.

Be sure whatever you choose also contains Vit. E. If not you need to give E with the fish oil to prevent deficiency of E. I give 200iu of E.

If you go to www.dogware.com and look under the arthritis and kidney disease section (at supplments) there may be suggestions for products that are mercury free.

Some will make a statement that it is purified through distillation, which would seperate Mercury out. I have bought at Sam's Club and Costco.

Thank you!

What does Fish oil do for hip dysplacia? Pardon my ignorance!

This is from
http://petnutrasystems.com/hip_wellness_dog.html

"Your dog can further benefit form the long chain fatty acids, specifically n-3s, found in the highest concentrations in fish oils. N-3 fatty acids reduce the expression of cartilage degrading enzymes while suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators, providing protection to the cartilage."

Precisely why we humans need it too!

Its also good for heart and kidneys.
