FAQs
What is salmon oil and why is it beneficial?
Salmon oil is a natural supplement extracted mostly from Atlantic or Pacific salmon and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). These essential fats support healthy skin, a shiny coat, joint mobility, heart function, and cognitive development in both cats and dogs.
Is salmon oil safe for all pets?
Yes, it is generally safe for cats and dogs of all ages, but pets with pancreatitis, blood clotting disorders, or on medication should consult a veterinarian first. Overweight or senior pets might need adjusted dosages.
How do I introduce salmon oil into my pet’s diet?
Pet owners typically start by mixing a small amount into wet food and increasing gradually over a week. Cats or dogs sensitive to new foods may tolerate it better if introduced slowly to avoid digestive issues.
Can salmon oil help with allergies, arthritis, or kidney issues?
Yes, omega-3’s anti-inflammatory action can relieve skin allergies, arthritis pain, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and even support early-stage kidney function when used correctly under veterinary guidance.
What results can I expect, and how long will it take?
Improvements in coat shine, skin hydration, and reduced itching usually appear within 2–4 weeks. Benefits for joints, cognition, and immune health develop more gradually, over 1–2 months of consistent use.
How should I store salmon oil?
Keep it in a cool, dark place or refrigerate after opening. Exposure to heat and sunlight can degrade the oil and turn it rancid, reducing its health benefits. Especially with transparent bottles
What should I look for when choosing a salmon oil product?
Choose 100% wild-caught salmon oil, ideally sourced from clean, cold waters such as Alaska. Wild salmon naturally contain a healthier balance of omega-3 fatty acids compared to farmed fish. Always check that the product is molecularly distilled, a process that filters out heavy metals, mercury, and other environmental toxins sometimes found in wild-caught fish. This ensures purity while preserving the natural triglyceride form of the oil, which your pet’s body can absorb more efficiently. For the best quality, look for oils that are human-grade, third-party tested, and free from additives or preservatives. These markers indicate a safe, potent, and responsibly produced supplement for your cat or dog.
