Product Information
Full details
This Wilsons Premium Scottish Salmon Oil is designed for dog owners seeking to enhance their pet's overall health, particularly skin, coat, brain, and joint function. Its key benefit lies in providing a rich source of essential Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. A potential consideration is its potent taste, which, while appealing to most dogs, might require adjustment for exceptionally picky eaters or dogs on specific therapeutic diets. The product features ethically sourced Scottish salmon oil, microfiltered for purity, and includes a convenient single-pump dispenser.

FAQs
How much Wilsons Salmon Oil should I give my dog?
Refer to the dosage chart on the product packaging. Doses are typically based on your dog's weight. Always start with a lower dose if introducing for the first time.
Can I give this to puppies?
Yes, salmon oil is beneficial for puppies as well. Consult your veterinarian for age-appropriate dosage recommendations for young dogs.
How long does it take to see results?
Visible improvements in coat and skin health can often be seen within 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use. Joint health benefits may take longer to become apparent.
Is this product suitable for dogs with allergies?
Salmon oil can benefit dogs with certain skin sensitivities. However, if your dog has a known fish allergy, consult your veterinarian before use. The product contains 99.5% Salmon Oil and 0.5% natural tocopherols (antioxidants).
What is the shelf life of the salmon oil?
Before opening, follow the expiration date on the bottle. After opening and refrigeration, it is best used within 3-6 months to ensure freshness and potency.
Can I mix this with my dog's medication?
It is best to administer medications separately from supplements unless directed otherwise by your veterinarian. Consult your vet if you have concerns about interactions.
Why is Omega 3 important for dogs?
Omega 3 fatty acids, like EPA and DHA found in salmon oil, are essential for your dog's body. They are not produced internally and must be obtained from the diet. They play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and coat, supporting brain development and function, promoting heart health, aiding immune response, and supporting joint health.
Troubleshooting
Pump is not dispensing oil
Ensure the pump mechanism is fully screwed onto the bottle. Try priming the pump by pressing it down several times. If the oil is very cold, it may be thicker; slightly warming the bottle in your hands may help.
Dog is reluctant to eat food with oil
Start with a smaller dose and gradually increase over several days. Mix the oil thoroughly into the food. Ensure the food is not too hot, as this can affect the oil's quality and smell.
Oil appears cloudy or separated
This can happen if the oil is exposed to cold temperatures (e.g., during shipping or refrigeration). Gently warm the bottle in your hands or in lukewarm water. Shake gently before use. If separation persists or an off-smell is present, discontinue use.
