Potential Concerns:
Blood Thinners: Dogs that are taking blood-thinning medications should consult a veterinarian before using FCLO, as omega-3 fatty acids may have a mild blood-thinning effect.
Quality and Purity: It is important to ensure the quality and purity of fish oil products to avoid potential contaminants, such as heavy metals or pollutants. That’s why we decided to make our own – it is clean, fresh, and uncontaminated.
Allergies: In very rare cases, some dogs are allergic to fish. Even in this instance, it is unlikely that Fermented Cod Liver Oil would trigger an allergic response – allergic responses are commonly triggered by a reaction to protein arrangements (DNA), which are not present in oils or extracts. Even if an animal is allergic to fish, Fermented Cod Liver Oil is very unlikely to trigger an allergic response.
Humans: Suggested Vitamin D intake is 2,000-10,000 IU/day for maintenance. Consider testing through one of the labs below to customize your intake.
