Why Salmon Oil for Your Dog?
A healthy dog often shows it through a glossy coat and bright eyes – and the right nutrition is the foundation. Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in maintaining overall wellness. Healthy Breeds Salmon Oil Soft Chews deliver a concentrated source of EPA and DHA from wild-caught salmon, formulated to support daily nutritional needs. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that dogs cannot produce on their own; they must come from diet or supplementation.

These fatty acids contribute to normal function of the heart (EFSA approved claim) and DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function and vision (EFSA approved claim). Many dog owners turn to salmon oil to help maintain a healthy skin barrier and coat condition. While individual results vary, consistent undertake may lead to a noticeably softer coat and healthier skin.
How Much Salmon Oil Should You Give Your Dog?
Dosage depends on your dog's weight and health status. For these soft chews, the general guideline is: One chew per 5–7 kg of body weight daily or as directed by your veterinarian. Always start with the lower end and increase gradually. It is important to introduce any supplement slowly to watch for digestive sensitivity. Store the chews in a cool, dry place after opening. As with any supplement, consult your veterinarian before starting, especially if your dog is pregnant, nursing, or on medication. Your vet can help tailor the dosage to your dog's specific needs.
