*NEW!* Pure & Natural Salmon Oil – 300ml/500ml

Salmon oil is derived from fresh salmon and consists of healthy fats known as omega-3 fatty acids. This includes:

  • EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
  • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
  • ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid).

These omegas are not naturally produced in your pet’s body, so your dog can benefit from taking salmon oil. Dogs that don’t eat fish frequently can benefit from this supplement.

It is well known that dogs aren’t huge fans of eating fish, unlike cats. Adding some new food to achieve a normal and balanced omega intake is a nightmare for many parents.

For example, dogs that suffer from arthritis are great candidates for consuming food with high content of omegas. But don’t think it will be easy-peasy! Even if you start giving the omega-rich food gradually, your dog might dislike it. But don’t despair, Brilliant salmon oil has a delicious fresh taste that dogs and cats love. It can be a great substitute for such food. Be sure to choose a reputable brand when buying salmon oil. Unfortunately, many salmon oil brands have contaminants like heavy metals.

Pure & Natural Salmon Oil is a great choice as it is free from any nasties such as chemicals or heavy metals.

Let’s take a look at the main benefits of salmon oil for dogs!

1. Improved Cognitive Function

DHA can significantly lead to better cognitive and neurological development. DHA and EPA are also related to lipid peroxidation, which leads to normal body weight and bone formation.

Dogs that receive DHA and EPA during gestation and lactation have better-developed puppies. Besides the improved cognitive function, these puppies have better hip joint conformation. Puppies that receive DHA supplements during breeding can perform better on cognitive tests. It is important to supplement your puppy from a young age to shape their physical and cognitive abilities.

DHA’s role is also to improve learning abilities. Although your dog won’t go to college, it will contribute positively to their training and socialization. These puppies can learn commands much faster than puppies that don’t get supplements.  Omegas can also contribute to better focus, attention, and cognitive flexibility. Most importantly, your puppy will have improved mood and well-being.

2. Improved Mobility

Salmon oil and its omegas can lead to better joint lubrication and movement. So, if you have an active dog, salmon oil is a great suggestion for you. On the other side, salmon oil is highly recommended for dogs that suffer from arthritis.

According to studies, arthritic dogs that are supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids can improve their physical ability and decrease overall lameness much faster compared to unsupplemented dogs. The role of omegas is to decrease inflammation in arthritic joints and enzyme regulation in arthritic joints. During the aging process, many dogs can face osteoarthritis issues, so supplementing with omegas is never a bad idea. Omegas can reduce joint stiffness and lubricate the joints at the same time.

3. Shiny Coat And Moisturized Skin

A shiny coat can be seen after 2-4 weeks of using salmon oil. Remember that a shiny coat is not attractive to fleas, so that’s another reason to use salmon oil. Studies show that healthy fats can lead to better skin and coat after 28 days. Omegas can keep the skin cell structure and function. Coats comb out easier and less dead fur is seen. Since the skin gets moisturized, itching and dryness can be reduced. Then, the hair follicles regenerate and lead to a shinier coat. Because the hair follicle integrity is kept, excessive shedding can be stopped. 

Another benefit is that omegas have anti-inflammatory properties. This will reduce any inflammatory process on the skin and lead to healthier and glossier skin and coats. Omegas are advised if dogs suffer from some skin diseases. However, we advise consulting with your vet before adding salmon oil in such cases.

4. Boosted Immunity

Many vitamins, minerals, proteins, polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), carotenoids, and probiotics are available in aquatic organisms. So, consuming marine products leads to boosting immunity. Boosted immunity can be beneficial while protecting from various infections. Dogs are exposed to many threats daily; therefore, we recommend supplementing your pet.

Salmon oil is especially useful for chronic diseases. Over time, these diseases seriously affect the immune system, so adding salmon oil can protect your pet’s immune system. Additionally, salmon oil supplements have antioxidant benefits which neutralize free radicals in the body.

5. Improved Metabolism

EPA and DHA have several advantages for gastrointestinal issues in dogs. First of all, they regulate the energy balance and maintain a healthy weight.

Studies show that salmon oil supplementation has anti-obesity effects and reduces insulin sensitivity. That’s why many vets recommend salmon oil for dogs that suffer from diabetes. Salmon oil is especially useful for ageing dogs because it will support their metabolism. It will provide them with extra energy due to its ingredients.

Most importantly, salmon oil has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation. It also supports overall metabolic health.

6. Eye Health Support

Supplementing pets during gestation and lactation with omegas is very important. DHA contributes to brain and eye health for the future litter. DHA reaches maximum in early adulthood and gradually decreases with the ageing process. That’s why it is important to supplement your pet with salmon oil throughout its whole life.

Some of the most common eye-related health issues are:

  • Glaucoma
  • Conjunctivitis
  • Cataracts

Usually, these issues begin when dogs age. Also, some dog breeds are genetically prone to these diseases. EPA and DHA are what give all marine-based oils their curing properties. Their main function is treating inflammatory eye diseases. Such oils can protect your dog from dry eyes and macular degeneration. Take note: Cataracts are often untreatable, and the only treatment solution is surgery. Therefore, don’t expect too much if you start adding a few pumps of salmon oil into your dog’s bowl.

7. Improved Cardiovascular Health

Omega-3 fatty acids are highly recommended for cardiovascular health. However, they might have some adverse effects if the dogs suffer from certain cardiovascular diseases. So, adding salmon oil to improve your pet’s heart is not so simple. You need to carefully consult with your vet and check your pet’s overall health.

Omegas can also lower triglyceride levels. Salmon oil can increase good cholesterol levels and clear the bad cholesterol from the bloodstream. This way, salmon oil maintains healthy heart function and lowers the risk of heart-related diseases. One important benefit is that omegas prevent platelet clumping. This improves the circulation and prevents blood clots.

8. Allergies Support

Although antihistamines are the most recommended for allergies, salmon oil and its omegas are great support for allergies. First of all, we suggest determining the cause of itching or allergies. Very often, excessive itching is a sign of pruritis or allergies. We advise allergy testing to determine the real cause and get more successful treatment. If you ignore the itching, it can eventually do a lot of harm! Excessive itching can lead to secondary wounds that can be painful for the dog. Therefore any itching or unusual behaviour should be carefully checked and diagnosed.

Omegas create an extra layer on the skin, and additionally, they moisturize the skin. But allergies are not just skin reactions! Allergies can do much more harm. Some allergies lead to respiratory issues, such as asthma. In these cases, omegas are also recommended. If the dog has asthma, it usually suffers from some inflammatory process. But no worries! Salmon oil has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the symptoms of it. Once again, allergies cannot be treated with supplements! Fully resolving an allergy is a very demanding process and requires a lot of attention.

9. Alleviating Inflammation

Inflammation is the natural response of organisms when they fight infections. If the infection persists for a long time, it is a chronic infection. Chronic infections can lead to serious diseases that can affect any bodily system. So, inflammation and alleviating inflammation are the key points of any disease. It’s okay to let the organism fight for a while, but after some time, if the symptoms continue, something has to be done.

Salmon oil can help in alleviating inflammation during:

  • Joint Diseases
  • Skin Diseases
  • Gastrointestinal Issues
  • Allergies
  • Respiratory Issues
  • Cardiovascular Diseases

Alleviating inflammation during joint diseases can lead to better mobility and better joint function.

Skin inflammations and allergies can be very disturbing, and salmon oil can reduce excessive itching, improve skin texture, and lead to a shinier coat.

Gastrointestinal inflammation can lead to some side effects, such as constipation, diarrhea, and vomiting. All these side effects lead to serious inflammation, and salmon oil can help in reducing it.

Respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases can be caused by chronic infections. Salmon oil can significantly alleviate inflammation no matter the cause.
