FAQs
How much salmon oil should I give my pet?
Dosage varies by animal size and species. A general guideline is 1-2 pumps for small pets (cats, ferrets), and 2-4 pumps for medium to large dogs. Always refer to specific product recommendations or consult your veterinarian for precise dosage.
How often should I administer the salmon oil?
It is typically recommended to administer the salmon oil daily. Consistency is key to observing the benefits.
What is the shelf life of the salmon oil?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, the unopened product typically has a shelf life of 18-24 months. Once opened, it is best used within 3-6 months for optimal freshness and efficacy.
Can I give this salmon oil to puppies or kittens?
Yes, salmon oil can be beneficial for young animals. However, it is crucial to consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate starting dosage for puppies and kittens.
Will this salmon oil make my pet's breath smell fishy?
While salmon oil has a natural fish scent, the pure oil typically does not cause excessively bad breath. If bad breath is a concern, ensure proper dental hygiene for your pet and consult your vet. Mixing it well with food can also help.
Is this salmon oil filtered?
The product is described as 100% pure, implying it has undergone processing to remove impurities, but specific filtration details beyond 'pure' are not provided.
Where is the salmon sourced from?
The salmon is sourced from the deep-sea lochs of Scotland, known for their clean and pristine waters.
Troubleshooting
Pump not dispensing oil
Ensure the pump tube is fully submerged in the oil. Prime the pump by pressing it several times. Check for any blockages in the nozzle or tube. Make sure the pump is screwed on tightly.
Pet refuses to eat food with oil added
Start with a very small amount of oil and gradually increase the dosage over several days. Try mixing it thoroughly into wet food or using a small amount of food as a 'carrier' for the oil. Ensure the oil is fresh and hasn't gone rancid.
Visible oil residue on pump or can
Wipe the pump and can with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Ensure the cap is securely closed to prevent leaks and maintain product integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply attach the pump securely to the 1L Jerry can. Ensure the pump mechanism is functioning correctly before first use.
Compatibility: This salmon oil is suitable for dogs, cats, and ferrets. It is intended as a dietary supplement and can be mixed with wet or dry food. Consult your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement to your pet's diet, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are on medication.
Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After each use, ensure the pump is sealed or the cap is securely fastened to maintain freshness. While the oil is pure, refrigerating after opening can help preserve its quality and prevent spoilage, although it is not strictly necessary if stored in a cool environment. Clean the pump nozzle periodically with a damp cloth if any residue accumulates.
