Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet Soft Gels

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

I thought: another thing that smells like a dock. But then you pulled one out and let me sniff it close. The smell was less 'dead fish' and more 'fish that just went for a swim'. I didn't run away. That counts.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

It's fishy but not offensive. Like a polite fish. You know how some fish oil makes the whole room smell like a bait shop? This one stays in the bottle. I approve of the smell, which is rare for anything you buy online. Also, is that bacon I smell? No? Could be.

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

I've had eleven doses. You poke the capsule onto my food. I ate it every time. My coat did not fall off. My joints don't creak when I get up from the rug. I cannot prove the pills did that, but I also cannot prove they didn't. The cat glared at me when I got an extra treat afterward. That was nice.

Dad

I paid about thirty dollars for this. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

Thirty dollars for a bottle of oil pills. You could have bought me a steak. But I guess you want me to live forever. The pills don't taste bad, they don't make me gassy, and the cat didn't get any. So yes, worth it. But next time, put a steak on my food too.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

If you are a dog who hates tasting your supplements, yes. If you are a dog who loves the taste of fish, yes. If you are a cat, go away. I recommend this. But I still want a treat for being in this interview. You brought the bottle, I brought the personality.
