So many fish oils for pets are made to smell like almost nothing so owners don’t find the smell offensive, but my cats turn up their noses to it. Lily (bottom 2 pics) starts pawing at the floor and walls as if she’s trying to cover up some shit in the litter box, even though she is food obsessed. Her favorite thing in the world is salmon but not so much the non-smelly salmon oil. So give me your stinkiest fish oil recs please and thank you!

I’ve tried Zesty Paws Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil, it’s a no-go.

I would rather avoid the stress of giving them pills unless completely necessary, it’s absolutely miserable for us all when we do have to give them meds. This will be good info tho if we ever need to give them meds regularly, so thanks!

Glad to help! Works way better than those pill poppers. One of our cats now refuses to eat on her own, and will harass us until we syringe her. Multiple cans a day with this method, and she loves it!
