FAQs
How much salmon oil should I give my pet?
Dosage varies by pet size and species. Refer to the product packaging for specific recommendations. Typically, larger dogs require more than smaller dogs, cats, or ferrets. Always start with the lower end of the recommended dosage.
How long does it take to see results?
Visible improvements in coat shine and skin condition are usually observed within 3 to 4 weeks of consistent daily use. Full benefits for overall health may take longer.
Can I give this to puppies or kittens?
While the oil is beneficial, it's best to consult your veterinarian before administering it to very young pets, pregnant, or nursing animals, as their specific nutritional needs may differ.
What is the shelf life of the salmon oil?
Once opened, the salmon oil is best used within 6 months when stored properly in a cool, dark place. Unopened, it typically has a longer shelf life indicated by an expiry date on the packaging.
Is this product safe for pets with allergies?
This product is 100% pure salmon oil and does not contain common allergens like grains or soy. However, if your pet has a known fish or seafood allergy, consult your veterinarian before use.
How should I store the 5L bottle?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures. Ensure the pump is properly sealed after each use.
Troubleshooting
Pump is not dispensing oil
Ensure the pump tube is fully submerged in the oil and has reached the bottom of the bottle. Try pumping multiple times to prime the mechanism. Check if the pump head is locked or twisted to the open position.
Oil appears cloudy or separated
This can sometimes happen due to temperature fluctuations. Gently warm the bottle by placing it in a bowl of lukewarm water (do not use hot water). Shake gently before use. If the oil has an off smell or rancid odor, it may have spoiled and should be discarded.
Pet is refusing to eat food mixed with oil
Start with a smaller dosage and gradually increase it over several days. Ensure the oil is mixed thoroughly into the food. Some pets may need time to adjust to the taste. Try mixing it with a small amount of a highly palatable food item.
