Most effective product for skin and coat
Cannot speak more highly of impact this product had on our Labrador's skin and fur. Stopped skin flaking and made her fur soft and extremely shiny. Other oil products helped only a little. Significant difference when using this product.

This product is EXCELLENT!
We are the proud owners of a 8yr old black lab. She has been suffering with joint pain for a few years now, especially after a hard day of chasing balls and hiking. She sometimes wouldn't be able to get off her bed the next morning. Or if she did she would limp and cry. It broke this mama's heart! We found this supplement and chose to give it a try after reading the reviews. I have to agree with every single positive review, within a week of taking it we "tested" it out by throwing the ball for her. The next morning she hopped right up without complaint and went right outside. Since then we have thrown the ball more and gone on a few hikes and she does wonderful! She really seems to have less pain. She takes the supplement without complaint and has had no problems with her stool. Over all I would say this product is AWESOME!

The itching has stopped!
Was giving my dog fish oil only & she was keeping us all up through the night with the scratching. My sister's dog was using Lipiderm & her dog wasn't scratching at all. Ordered, used & couldn't be happier. Saw results within a week (maybe because the fish oil was already in her system) Thank you.

Not for cats
I bought this product for my 2 y/o Persian cat. I can't say anything about the effectiveness of this supplement because I can't give it to him. The capsules are just too big and he can't swallow them. I thought I could open a capsule and mix the contents in his food. No dice! The taste is gross (I tried it myself before mixing it with the food) and my cat refused to eat at all.
I suppose it's good for a dog, but definitely shouldn't be advertised "for cats, small and medium dogs". It's not suitable for cats.

my lab has dried spots on elbows and around muzzle ---- always has trouble with ears (we get zymox and it helps for about 3 wks and have to start over) I want to know if this lipiderm would help him?
Thanks for your question Shell, Lipiderm is great product for your lab's skin and coat. You may also want to use liquid vitamin E to moisturize the elbows and the muzzle. I hope this helps.
Can you tell me what is the size of the Omega3 gel caps for small dogs? I want to make sure it's a reasonable size so they can swallow it. Liquid is not an option..they would run away from food.
No. Lipiderm Liquid is for use in dogs only. However, the Lipiderm Gel Capsules can be used in cats. The capsule can be punctured and the liquid mixed with food.
