Full details

FAQs
What is GLA and why is it important?
GLA stands for Gamma Linolenic Acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that supports the structure of cell membranes and helps maintain skin and coat health.
How long until I see results?
While individual needs vary, most owners see noticeable improvements in coat condition within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use.
Can I pierce the capsule to pour it on food?
Yes, if your dog refuses to swallow the whole soft-gel, you can pierce the capsule and mix the oil directly into their food.
Is this safe for puppies?
Always consult with your veterinarian regarding supplements for puppies to ensure the dosage is appropriate for their specific growth stage.
How should I store the capsules?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the oil's efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Dog refuses to eat the capsule in food
Try hiding the capsule inside a small piece of cheese, a dollop of peanut butter, or a moist treat.
Soft-gels are sticking together in the bottle
Gently shake the bottle or store it in a slightly cooler environment to prevent the casings from softening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required. Simply determine the appropriate dosage for your dog's weight and add the capsule to their wet or dry food. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the cold-pressed oil. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from degrading the soft-gel casings. If your dog is on other medication, consult with your veterinarian before introducing new fatty acid supplements.
