Salmon Oil (Omega-3 & 6)
Essential fatty acids that support skin, coat and inflammatory balance, relevant for itching and dry skin.
What is it?
Salmon oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and omega-6 fatty acids. In premium dog and cat food it is added to supply essential fats the body cannot make itself.
Why does it matter?
Skin and coat need essential fatty acids for a healthy barrier and shine. With itching, dry skin or a dull coat, a formula with salmon oil can help get nutrition on track, as part of a total approach, not a miracle cure.
How does it work?
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) supports a healthy inflammatory balance and cell membrane function. Omega-6 supplies linoleic acid for skin barrier and coat structure. A good ratio in complete food helps the body absorb these fats without you having to dose loose oil.
Benefits
- Supports skin barrier and coat shine from within
- Helps with itching and dry skin when nutrition is a factor
- Delivers EPA and DHA in complete kibble, no separate supplement needed
Misconceptions
More oil is not automatically better. Too much fat can strain digestion. Salmon oil in food does not fix every itch; environmental allergens, fleas or protein sensitivity can also play a role. Always discuss ongoing issues with your vet.
