I used that same brand back jn the day for Happy Hannah, and still use it periodically for my dogs now.
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Yes, It was labeled for pets. Can't remember where, specifically, this brand was recommended during my research at the time, but I do recall it was highly rated.

That is exactly what Fallon's oncologist prescribes. We buy it online as it is cheaper than at the doctor's.
Fallon 8/28/06--9/6/18. My Heart.
Fallon's left front leg was amputated due to osteosarcoma on 10/11/17.

When Wyatt Ray had rehab therapy at Colorado State, Dr. Wendland prescribed Wellactin by Nutramax. She says the CSU docs recommend it because it is one of the only Omega 3 supplements that has the type of scientific research behind it that they are comfortable with.
Like many supplements, we only noticed very subtle differences when he was on it after a few months. However it wasn't until we ran out last month did we notice a big decline in his mobility. Unfortunately we can't find it in our Canada travels and can't wait to get back to the States so we can start giving it to him again. For the last few weeks we've had him on a competing brand and hope it helps.
