I've been giving Alcott Grizzly Salmon Oil in hopes it will control his shedding-- he's allergic to soy, so most no-shed products are out for me. I searched the forums, and while I found a lot of posts regarding GSO for skin health, I couldn't find anyone on if it helps shedding or no. I've only been using it for about 2-3 weeks, so I haven't really seen any results yet. Anyone out there been using it long terms that could let me know if it's worth the expense?

depending on what food your feeding... if you feed a lower end food you would likely see results in more shedding at first ... with higher end food s with high omega s you ll likely see results in about another two weeks..

the coat cycle in a dog is 83 days ... a bit shorter in a cat so I would say another week or two you should see if it will help...

I'm feeding Natural Balance Allergen formula (Venison and Green Pea) so I hope I'll see those results soon! Thanks for the info.

I add it to dry food, but don't really do much by way of mixing-- he cleans the bowl anyway, so I don't see much point in dirtying a spoon every night to mix it.

I just started Sash on this supplement too, he's been having extremely itchy skin lately and pulling out his fur. He's always had allergies so I thought this was a good supplement to start him on now. I add it to his canned food daily. I'm hoping for good results!
