Key Benefits for Joint, Skin, and Brain Health
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for your pet’s overall wellness. They play a role in maintaining healthy skin, a shiny coat, joint comfort, and cognitive function. But not all omega-3 sources are equal. Krill oil offers a unique advantage: its EPA and DHA are bound to phospholipids, which may be more easily absorbed by the body compared to the triglyceride form found in many fish oils. This means your dog or cat can potentially get more benefit from each serving.
Additionally, krill oil naturally contains the antioxidant astaxanthin, which helps protect the delicate omega-3s from oxidation. The result is a fresh, potent supplement that supports your pet from the inside out.
What Makes This Krill Oil Different?
Not all krill oils are created equal. Bark & Whiskers Krill Oil stands out for several reasons:
-
MSC Certified: The krill is sourced from a fishery that has received an “A” rating from the Marine Stewardship Council, ensuring sustainable and responsible harvesting.
-
Phospholipid Form: As noted, the EPA and DHA are in phospholipid form for enhanced absorption.
-
Airless Pump: The innovative pump system delivers a precise, mess-free dose every time. No sticky oils, no capsules to hide in food—just a simple pump.
-
Veterinarian-Formulated: This product is developed by veterinarians who understand the unique nutritional needs of cats and dogs.
-
Clean Ingredients: No artificial additives or unnecessary fillers. Just pure krill oil.
These features make it a trustworthy choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry companions. The sustainable sourcing ensures that you are also making an environmentally conscious choice for your pet.
How Does the Phospholipid Delivery System Work?
The phospholipid delivery system is what sets krill oil apart. In standard fish oil, EPA and DHA are attached to triglycerides, which require extra steps for the body to uses. In krill oil, these fatty acids are already integrated into phospholipid molecules—the same type of fats that make up cell membranes. This structure allows for direct incorporation into cells, potentially improving bioavailability.
Bark & Whiskers Krill Oil leverages this natural advantage. By providing omega-3s in a form your pet’s body recognises and can utilise efficiently, it may support faster and more effective results. The phospholipid form also helps the omega-3s resist breakdown during digestion, ensuring more reaches the cells where they are needed.
Why Krill Oil for Your Pet?
Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their wide-ranging benefits. For pets, they can be particularly helpful in three areas:
-
Joint Comfort: EPA and DHA may help maintain a normal inflammatory response, supporting comfortable mobility in active or ageing dogs and cats.
-
Skin and Coat: These fatty acids contribute to a healthy skin barrier, which can reduce dryness and flakiness while promoting a soft, glossy coat.
-
Brain Function: DHA is a key structural component of the brain. Regular intake may help support mental alertness and cognitive health, especially in older pets.
Because Bark & Whiskers Krill Oil delivers these nutrients in a highly absorbable form, your pet may experience these benefits more consistently than with standard fish oil supplements.
How to Uses the Airless Pump for Daily Dosage
The airless pump system is designed for convenience. Each full pump delivers a consistent portion of krill oil. For typical dosage, one pump per day is recommended for most pets, but you can adjust based on your veterinarian’s guidance. Simply pump the oil onto your pet’s food or directly into their mouth. The 43 ml bottle provides approximately 186 pumps, offering a two- to six-month supply depending on your pet’s size and needs.
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. Because the pump is airless, the oil stays protected from oxygen, preserving its potency over time.
