Product Information
Full details
Nutricost Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is designed for pet owners seeking to enhance their dog or cat's skin and coat health. Its key benefit is providing essential Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, in a palatable salmon flavor. A potential consideration is its suitability primarily for dietary supplement use, not as a standalone treatment for serious skin conditions.

FAQs
How much Nutricost Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil should I give my pet?
The recommended dosage typically varies based on your pet's weight. Please refer to the product's packaging or consult your veterinarian for precise dosage instructions tailored to your specific pet.
How often should I give this to my pet?
It is generally recommended to administer the salmon oil daily to ensure consistent intake of Omega-3 fatty acids for optimal benefits.
Can this product help with severe skin conditions like allergies or infections?
While it supports healthy skin and coat, Nutricost Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is a dietary supplement. It may help improve skin health, but it is not a treatment for serious medical conditions. Consult your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of severe skin issues.
Is this product safe for puppies and kittens?
Yes, it is formulated for all breeds and life stages, including puppies and kittens. However, always consult your veterinarian before starting any new supplement for very young pets.
What is the shelf life of the product?
The expiration date is printed on the bottle. Once opened, it is recommended to use the product within a specific timeframe (often 90 days) and store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Will this make my pet's breath smell fishy?
Some pets may experience a temporary fishy odor in their breath due to the natural fish oil. Proper storage and ensuring the cap is sealed tightly can help minimize this.
Where is the salmon oil sourced from?
The salmon oil is sourced from Wild Alaskan Salmon.
Troubleshooting
Pet refuses to eat food mixed with oil
Start with a very small amount of oil mixed into the food and gradually increase the dosage. Try mixing it thoroughly into wet food or warming the food slightly to release the aroma.
Noticeable fishy odor from the product
This is normal for fish oil. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use and store it properly (refrigeration recommended) to minimize odor.
No visible improvement in coat after several weeks
Ensure you are administering the correct dosage consistently every day. Allow up to 6-8 weeks for noticeable results, as it takes time for the nutrients to impact the skin and coat.
Pet experiences mild digestive upset (e.g., loose stools)
Reduce the dosage temporarily until the upset subsides, then gradually reintroduce at a lower dose. Consult your veterinarian if symptoms persist.
