"Okay, they love it, but, Nutramax, the packaging and dispenser method is really, really dumb. The pour cap always drips down the side and I end up every morning smelling like fish oil.

"My cats do not like the taste of this fish oil. I mixed it with their food and then they wouldn’t eat their food. The packaging is also bad. It leaks around the top of the cap and makes a mess. If your cat is sensitive to smells and tastes, then I wouldn’t recommend this oil."
