Evening of Primrose Oil
I found it at WalMart!
I have 1000 mg gel tablets. I have cut the tablet open and put the oil on her food.
My question is, do you use it all, 1000 mg? and, do you give your pups the tablet? I would think it would pass whole. She doesn't like the taste of the oil, but today I put some left over egg drop soup over her food, and she ate it all up.
I never thought of egg drop soup, but it has to be good for her, and she likes it so much. I might just start buying a quart of the stuff, and using it every meal.

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
You can give the tablet whole, just put it in a favorite piece of meat, peanut butter, cream cream, or if you feed her canned food, you can just stuff it in there. Maggie doesn't seem to mind the taste so I have put it straight on her food and given her the whole tablet when she is having something I can stuff it in to. Good luck with this. After a bit, you might want to drop down to the 500 mg tablets for maintenance but for right now, the 1000 mg is probably good.

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
It helps with the itchies. It cools their skin.

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
PS - check the sodium content and MSG content in the soup - that might not be all that good for her.

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
They will be fine, but you can also get 500 mg caps at Wal-Mart. I would watch the egg drop soup though, it's very high in sodium. why not just get some low salt chicken broth instead?
I used to wrap the Girlies oil caps in a thin sliver of cream cheese,( they disolve fast because they are just gelatin.) Now they just take them from my hand. They didn't like it on their food either.

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
Pleased you found it, Connie. When you've used all the 1000mg up, I'd get the 500mg as that will be sufficient-and cheaper !!

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
Thanks for the advise about the 500 mg. I will get that from now on.
And I never thought of the sodium in the soup. They don't use MSG, but I never considered the salt. Darn, thought I had a solution. I will try the chicken broth from a can. That's a good idea.
Thanks all from Lucy

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
I am using a liquid Evening Primrose Supplement, available in the UK from Pets at Home (they bought out PetSmart over here). It comes in a bottle with it's own dispensing measure, although a full measure gives 2500mg. I use just under half a measure per day on Kyle's food and he doesn't even notice it. I also use an EPO shampoo, which improves his skin and leaves him smelling nice too. For these and other EPO products check out the following website www.groomersshampoo.com

Re: Evening of Primrose Oil
Our girls considered this pill a treat and would beg for it. No peanut butter of cheese or anything. Just gobbled it up. Funny.
