Nutramax Welactin Omega 3 Fish Oil for Cats, Skin and Coat Health Supplement, Plus Kidney, Brain, and Vision Support, Premium Omega 3 Fatty Acids EPA and DHA, 4 Ounce Liquid

Bought on recommendation from my vet for my senior cat. Within a few weeks, her coat was super glossy (more than I’ve ever seen it), and she was back to jumping up on counters (which she hasn’t been able to do for about 6 months). Shocked that it’s worked so well. Only downside is that the bottle leaks and the oil has stained it on the outside. Doesn’t look good at all, but effective.

Exactly as described. While the scoop that comes with the bottle is difficult to keep clean (since it IS oil), but it is useful for measuring. My cats don't mind it at all when I put it right on top of their regular kibble, and they just gobble it up! Their skin and coats really improved after about a month of regular use.

My cat has a tender tummy so I had to back down to a half dose after a few days of full dose. He has done well, and I notice his coat is somewhat better, and he sleeps better.

This product was recommended to me by my vet for my adult male cat. He always had flaky skin that got worse in the wintertime; almost dandruff-like. Everytime I'd brush him, there would be tons of flakes of skin intertwined with his hair. While it never appeared to bother my cat, I didnt want to let it go forever. I have been using this product for approximately 2 months and my cat has absolutely zero skin flaking anymore. I saw improvement within the first week and it appears his skin is completely healed at this point. His coat has also become much softer, much more shiny, and he appears to shed less. I will continue giving this to him each day with his food through the rest of his life! Highly recommend.

I love Welactin, and what it did for the health of my cats. I first tried this on recommendation from my vet. The directions mention to put a small (measuring spoon included) amount on your cats food daily (see doses for cats size). Despite the “fish” taste, my cats didn’t like it on their food, so I just syringe the dose into their mouths daily. In as little as a month, all of my cats showed amazing results. My senior cat was more active, while my 2-year olds seemed to have a healthy air about them. The Most noticeable result in all my cats is how the Welactin improved their coat. All 3 of my girls have beautiful, soft, amazing fur. My Ragdoll now has a fluffy, pillow-like coat that tangles less than before Welactin, my medium haired black cat now has a shiny, flawless coat that feels like silk, while my alley cat’s once wirery and coarse coat is now kitten soft with a healthy gloss. Now, my girls line up daily to get their dose, before breakfast. The only warning I would give is that the oil stains anything it is left on (I literally peeled the paint off my wall trying to clean a spill left by friend who was watching our cats while on vacation), but have since discovered Lysol Max Foamer Bathroom Cleaner (another 5* review) which takes it off of all hard surfaces I’ve tried with very little effort. Truly, Welactin is AMAZING!

Bottle not sealed. Did not leak. I felt compelled to sniff and taste it first, though before I gave it to the cats. It seemed ok, but not as fishy as my own fish oil that I use (which has lemon in it, I thought that was why my cats did not like it. I would by it without lemon if I could find it.) So I started with a couple drops on their crunchy food, which they eat without fail. They didn't touch it. After a few hours I got rid of those crunchies (just a 1/4 cup for the test. I gave them more crunchies, which they did not eat. I put those crunchies in a clean bowl with no welactin residue and they ate it. A few days later, I tried it on their favorite canned food (du jour, their favorite switches out) atwo drops on quarter of small can, and blech. They wouldn't touch it for hours. Went right for the food without selecting, but only after putting into fresh bowls. Ingredients are fish oil (not much by smell), vegetable oil (mystery) and rosemary oil. What for, idk. Vet had recommended for hairball barfing, which became less when I elevated food bowls . (Already combed them every morning during Baby Time.) SO Im gonna return. Rosemary oil?

Will need to find another avenue to supply Omega 3 for our cats. Wasted several bowls of wet food when they detected this topping/mixed in supplement. Also, the flip top opening allowed the oil to easily dribble down the sides. Into the trash it went.

Every cat is going to have different taste preferences, but I will say that my cat, who isn't a huge fish fan, is so far not showing any distaste for this supplement (which is kind of fishy smelling/tasting). I use this in a specialized recipe I make for my cat, and added it slowly to her diet to get her used to the taste. I actually completely changed her diet, so all the ingredients I added in were new, but so far she is continuing to eat it happily. She is fully on her new diet, complete with the maximum amount of welactin oil, and I'm not seeing any signs of disapproval on her part. And to risk sounding like a crazy person, I tried a small tasting of her new recipe and from what I can tell by comparing the smells of the ingredients to the way the food tastes, the welactin oil seems to be the strongest tasting ingredient (this is when mixed in with venison meat, tapioca, powder supplements, and corn oil - blended up into a lovely froth.... cat has no teeth). A bit surprising that the welactin oil overpowered all the other tastes, but worth mentioning because I do believe it is strong.
