Welactin has a higher concentration of EPA/DHA, but is more expensive, so it balances out more or less I think. If you have a local vitamin store chain, recommend going there and seeing what sort of "membership discounts/bargains" they offer. When I had bigger dogs and couldn't get discounted animal products, I used to get fish oil from vitamin world in my area. They had BOGO sales on most stuff one day every month, with additional discounts for members. I would get 2- 360 count salmon oil bottles for sometimes less than $15- even if you're giving more in quantity, when they're <$.03 per cap, you might get off cheaper that way. There are places that sell both the oil and capsules in bulk quantities, which would reduce cost further if you are good giving greater quantity/volume of less concentrated product (eg:
this place sells 6000 caps for $96- at 180mg EPA/cap, you would give around 5/day to get over 800mg, so your daily cost would be a whopping $.08).
Side note- they have capsules that are
70% EPA, I wonder what effect that has on the efficacy? Is EPA available by itself (quick search seems to indicate no), if so, is it alone effective, or does it need to be part of the "oil" to achieve the anti-inflammatory effects? :dunno:
My old dog is currently getting welactin because she won't eat the caps and I won't break them open, two other dogs are both on AllerG3 caps, but a higher dose than bottle recommendations. My two also get some coconut oil, Annie the old goat needs kidney friendly calories, and Bus can use any anti-itch help I can get, though I don't know that it's helped much yet (been back on both for less than a month, still seems pretty itchy).
