Key Benefits for Your Dog
Alaska Naturals Wild Alaskan Fish Oil delivers targeted support for several aspects of your dog's wellbeing. Here's what you can anticipate:
-
Skin and Coat Health: EPA and DHA help maintain a healthy skin barrier, reducing flakiness and promoting a soft, glossy coat. Many owners notice improvements in skin comfort within a few weeks.
-
Cognitive Function: DHA is essential for brain development in puppies and may help maintain mental sharpness in older dogs. Regular omega-3 intake can support alertness and memory.
-
Normal Inflammatory Response: Omega-3s support balanced inflammation levels, contributing to overall joint and tissue health. While not a treatment, they play a supportive role.
These benefits stem from the high-quality, wild-caught Alaska pollock oil used in this supplement. Unlike farmed fish oils, wild Alaska pollock boasts a naturally high concentration of omega-3s without added antibiotics or artificial dyes.
Why Fish Oil for Dogs?
Every dog deserves a shiny coat and a sharp mind – and that’s exactly what Wild Alaskan Fish Oil from Alaska Naturals helps deliver. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), play vital roles in maintaining a healthy inflammatory response, supporting a glossy coat, and promoting brain function. Many commercial dog diets lack sufficient omega-3s, making a high-quality supplement a wise addition. Alaska Naturals Wild Alaskan Fish Oil provides these essential nutrients in a convenient liquid form that dogs love.
Fish oil is one of the most researched supplements for pets. The omega-3s found in cold-water fish like Alaska pollock help support the skin barrier, reduce dryness, and keep your dog's coat soft and shiny. DHA is a structural component of the brain and eyes, supporting cognitive function in dogs of all ages. If you notice your dog scratching more than usual or lacking lustre in their coat, omega-3s may help.
What Makes Alaska Naturals Fish Oil Different?
Not all fish oils are created equal. Alaska Naturals stands out for its commitment to purity, sustainability, and simplicity. The oil is made from wild-caught Alaska pollock, sourced from the pristine waters of Alaska. Alaska’s fisheries are amongst the most carefully managed in the world, with strict regulations to prevent overfishing and protect the marine environment for future generations.
The ingredient list is refreshingly short: pollock oil and Vitamin E (as a natural preservative). No artificial flavours, colours, or unnecessary fillers. The oil undergoes a gentle processing method to retain its natural goodness, and every batch is made in the USA with a quality assurance team overseeing the entire journey from ocean to bottle.
This fish oil is also molecularly distilled to remove heavy metals and other contaminants, ensuring a clean, safe product your dog can enjoy daily. The result is a fresh, great-tasting oil that dogs willingly take on their food.
How to Uses the Liquid Fish Oil
Alaska Naturals makes supplementation simple with its easy-pump bottle. The recommended serving is one pump per 5 kg of your dog’s body weight. Just dispense the oil directly onto your dog's meal—whether it is dry kibble, raw food, homemade meals, or freeze-dried options.
For example, a 14 kg dog would receive three pumps per day (as 5 kg per pump). The oil mixes easily with food, and most dogs enjoy the natural fish flavour. If your dog is a picky eater, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase to the full serving. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh water. As with any supplement, consult your veterinarian to determine the right amount for your pet’s specific needs, especially if they have underlying health conditions or are on medications.
The 946 ml pump bottle provides excellent value and lasts for weeks. Store in a cool, dry place after opening. Refrigeration is not required, but it can extend shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can fish oil cause side effects in dogs?
Most dogs tolerate fish oil well. High doses may cause loose stools or a fishy odour. Start with the recommended serving and adjust if needed. If you notice any adverse reactions, reduce the dose or consult your veterinarian.
How long does it take to see results?
Improvements in skin and coat can often be seen within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent uses. For cognitive benefits, results may take longer. Every dog is different, so be patient and consistent.
Is this oil safe for puppies and senior dogs?
Yes, omega-3s are beneficial for all life stages. Puppies need DHA for brain development, while seniors may benefit from joint and cognitive support. Adjust serving size based on weight. Consult your vet for puppies under 6 months old.
How does this compare to other omega-3 sources like flaxseed?
Flaxseed provides ALA, which must be converted to EPA and DHA, a process that is inefficient in dogs. Fish oil provides EPA and DHA directly, making it more effective for skin, coat, and cognitive support.
