Salmon oil for dogs
Salmon oil for dogs is one of the most used supplements among dog owners, and for good reason. The natural oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support everything from fur and skin to joints, heart and immune system. At Fjeldgaard Shop you will find a unique range of quality salmon oil for dogs, selected with care for both dog and owner.
Why choose salmon oil for dogs?
Benefits for skin and fur
Salmon oil provides your dog with essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which contribute to a shiny, healthy coat and reduce problems such as dry skin and dandruff. Many dog owners experience visible improvements after just a few weeks when the oil becomes a regular part of their dog's food.
Support for joints, immune system and heart
Omega-3 has a documented positive effect on joint function, especially in older dogs and breeds with a tendency to stiffness. At the same time, the fatty acids support healthy circulation, good heart function and a natural immune system. Therefore, salmon oil is an obvious supplement at all stages of life, from puppy to senior.
When does salmon oil make particular sense?
If your dog tends to have dry skin, sheds a lot, has stiff joints or lacks shine in its coat, salmon oil can be an effective and natural help. It can also be used for allergies, sensitive skin or periods of stress to support the body's balance.
What characterizes a good salmon oil for dogs?
Purity, raw material quality and cold pressing
A good salmon oil should be made from fresh, clean fish and be cold pressed to preserve the active fatty acids. At Fjeldgaard Shop we only choose products with a high degree of purity and without additives, so you can give your dog a pure, natural product.
Content of omega-3, EPA and DHA
The most important thing in a salmon oil is the ratio of EPA to DHA. The higher the content, the more effective the oil is in supporting the body's functions. We recommend oils where the content is clearly declared on the bottle.
Taste and durability
Salmon oil should have a mild scent and taste so that the dog will accept it with pleasure. At the same time, it is important that the oil is stored correctly, preferably in a cool place and protected from light.
How much salmon oil should your dog have?
The recommended amount of salmon oil depends on the dog's weight:
- Small dogs (up to 10 kg): 2-5 ml daily
- Medium dogs (10-25 kg): 5-10 ml daily
- Large dogs (25-40 kg): 10-15 ml daily
- Very large dogs (40+ kg): 15-20 ml daily
Always start carefully and increase gradually over 5-7 days so that the body gets used to the high fat content. Always read the product recommendations carefully before use.
Safety, storage and side effects
Salmon oil is a natural dietary supplement, but as with everything else, it must be dosed correctly. Too large amounts can cause a thin stomach or upset digestion. Store the bottle in a dark place and at room temperature. After opening, it is recommended to use the oil within 3 months.
