Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was looking for something to help my chopin (chihuahua/minpin mix) with her skin, fur and overall health. Issues like constipation, anal glad swelling/rupture, constant itching/dry skin plagued her for years. I use gentle shampoo in her baths and use a brush to get down to her skin then rub her down with coconut oil. She's getting a probiotic daily to help with her potty problems. But we were still having problems. I read that adding a good quality salmon oil to their food helps with a variety of issues and some proteins are rough on their little systems. I switched her to a salmon dog food right away and took a chance on the small bottle of this stuff. After 3 months on the salmon food she was going more regularly. Her fur started shining a little and she has more energy. Now the reviews of this oil itself (not the pump) are really good so I tried the small bottle. She's a small dog so we used half a pump in her food morning and night. It lasted about 2 months. I'm sure it would have lasted much longer had it not leaked 40% of it's contents due to the shotty pump on the SMALL bottle. I put a paper towel under it to catch the dripping which appears to be caused by a pressure build up as it doesn't leak when you pump it but come back a few minutes later and it's slowly trickling out of the screw cap down the sides of the bottle. I opted for the bigger bottle on my next purchase and had a replacement bottle on hand just in case. But I didn't need it. The pump on the big bottle is fine. I noticed about half way through the small bottle that her fur was actually soft. I was resigned to dealing with her needle like fur for life because I love the little bear, but wow, it's so soft! It shines and the flakes are gone. She still gets a little itchy but she's an inside dog so I attribute the random scratching to the ac pulling moisture from her skin like it does mine. Plus the cold snaps of 30's - 40's in the morning then 80's in the afternoon don't help. I wasn't expecting her to never scratch again, but am pleasantly surprised by how drastically it's reduced. Potty time is regular now. No more stop, try, shake it off, walk, stop try.... Now it's first time every time. I will say this much, you're gonna want to start brushing your dog's teeth because boy does it make their breath stink. Lol. I'd never done it before, but found it pretty easy. I'm still seeing improvement in her since adding this oil and am so happy I found it. It's more than worth it's weight in gold. So dont let the bad reviews on the pump keep you from experiencing the benefits of the oil.
