I give my dogs salmon oil (wild Alaskan) currently, but I was in the feed store and saw a gallon of wild 'fish oil' for the same price I'd pay for 1/6 the amount of salmon oil. The label wasn't specific about the type of fish, just that they were wild Alaskan. I didn't end up buying it because I was concerned about heavy metals, and fewer health benefits- but was curious what the differences were between the two types of oils. If the benefits are similar, I'll save quite a bit feeding fish oil, not salmon oil, especially if I get another dog.

Can you link us to it?
No, I would never buy an unnamed fish oil.
Salmon is a low-mercury fish, as are the tiny lower-on-the-chain fish like sardines and anchovies. "Wild" or not, unnamed fish oil can be produced from fish with high levels of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and other heavy metal and PBA (polychlorinated biphenyls) contamination.
Then molecular distillation is a whole other related topic.
If you link us to the product, the label will be likely to have other hints about undesirable properties.
