Salmon Oil




Benefits, Use and Storage
Salmon oil is a natural oil obtained from salmon and is known for its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are important nutrients that cats cannot produce in sufficient amounts on their own, which is why they need to receive them through their diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in maintaining healthy cells and may help support the body’s natural balance. A balanced supply of these fatty acids can contribute to normal skin function and help maintain a healthy, shiny coat. A lack of certain fatty acids may be linked to increased skin sensitivity and can affect the overall condition of the skin and coat.

Choosing the right salmon oil
High-quality salmon oil should be pure and cold-pressed whenever possible. This gentle production process helps preserve the naturally occurring nutrients and valuable fatty acids in the oil. It is not exposed to unnecessary heat or chemical processing, allowing the natural qualities of the oil to be maintained. Thanks to its gentle processing, salmon oil has a mild, natural taste and is usually well accepted by many cats.

How salmon oil can be used for cats
Salmon oil is traditionally used as a nutritional supplement and can be added to a cat’s daily diet, especially to support cats with:

  • dry skin
  • dull or brittle coat
  • flaky skin
  • sensitive skin
  • skin reactions related to nutritional or environmental factors
The way a cat responds to salmon oil can vary depending on the individual cat, its diet and overall health. Salmon oil can be a useful addition to a balanced diet, but ongoing itching, skin problems or other health concerns should always be checked by a veterinarian.

Proper storage
To help maintain the quality of salmon oil, it should be stored in a cool, dark place. Keeping it in the refrigerator is recommended. After opening, the oil should be used within a suitable period of time to keep it fresh.

Note on consistency
With high-quality, cold-pressed salmon oils, small fatty components may occasionally settle at the bottom of the bottle when stored below approximately 5°C (41°F). This is a natural characteristic of the oil and does not usually affect its quality. At room temperature, the oil will return to its normal clear consistency.
