FAQs

How much Dr. Mercola Antarctic Krill Oil should I give my pet?

Dosage depends on your pet's weight. For example, cats (2 lbs and up) and extra small dogs (14 lbs and under) receive 1 pump (100 mg). Larger dogs require more pumps, up to 8 pumps for extra-large dogs (80 lbs or more). Refer to the product chart for precise amounts.

What are the main benefits of this krill oil for pets?

It provides essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support brain function, cognitive health, joint comfort, and healthy skin, helping to address potential deficiencies in processed pet foods.

Is this product safe for all pets?

This product is specifically formulated for cats and dogs weighing 2 lbs and up. It has not been tested for use in pregnant or breeding animals and is not intended for human consumption.

How does the krill oil get into my pet's system?

The EPA and DHA are delivered in the form of phospholipids, which are easily absorbed directly by your pet's cells, making it a highly bioavailable source of omega-3s.

Why is the krill source important?

The krill is sourced from Antarctic waters and is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), ensuring responsible fishing practices and minimal environmental impact.

How should I store the krill oil?

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed after each use to maintain freshness.

What should I do if my pet's condition doesn't improve?

If your pet's condition worsens or does not show improvement after consistent use, stop administering the product and consult your veterinarian immediately.

Troubleshooting

Pump not dispensing product

Ensure the pump has been primed correctly before the first use. Press the pump down firmly and repeatedly until the oil dispenses. Check that the straw is submerged in the oil.

Pet refusing to consume the oil

Try mixing the oil with a small amount of palatable wet food or a favorite treat. Start with a smaller dose and gradually increase to the recommended amount.

No noticeable improvement in pet's condition

Consistency is key. Ensure the product is administered daily as directed. Allow several weeks for potential benefits to become apparent. If there is no improvement or the condition worsens, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Product appears discolored or has an off odor

Although rare due to the mixed tocopherols (a natural preservative), if the product seems compromised, do not use it. Contact customer support for a replacement.
