How to Use

Daily Feeding Guidelines

Directions for Use

• Top Any Meal: Sprinkle directly onto kibble, wet food, or raw meals as a daily omega-rich skin and coat boost; can be used every day as part of your dog's healthy feeding routine.
• Use as a Treat: These freeze-dried bites can also be served as a standalone healthy treat or used as a training reward.
• Transition Gradually: Introduce over 5 to 7 days, mixing increasing amounts with your dog's current food to allow for smooth digestive adjustment.
• Reduce Base Food Calories: Always reduce the calorie amount of your dog's main meal to account for the added calories from this topper to avoid overfeeding.
• Store Properly: Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place; once opened, use within 30 days for maximum freshness and omega potency.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Supplemental Use Only: This topper is intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only and must always be served alongside a complete and balanced diet.
• Not a Complete Meal: Do not replace your dog's regular complete and balanced food entirely with this topper; it is formulated to complement an existing diet.
• Adjust for Caloric Intake: Always reduce the calorie amount of your dog's main food to account for the calories this topper adds, especially in dogs prone to weight gain.
• Consult Your Vet: Dogs with known fish or chicken sensitivities, existing skin conditions under veterinary treatment, or those on a prescription diet should only use this product under veterinary guidance.
• Handle with Hygiene: As with all raw pet food products, wash hands, bowls, and surfaces thoroughly before and after each serving.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Some dogs may experience mild loose stools or temporary changes in stool consistency during the first few days as their system adjusts to the higher fat content from omega-rich ingredients.
• Food Sensitivity Reaction: Dogs with known sensitivities to chicken, fish, or seafood-based ingredients may experience itching, skin irritation, or digestive discomfort; discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if symptoms appear.
• Temporary Increased Oiliness: In rare cases, an initial increase in dietary omega fatty acids may temporarily cause a slight change in coat texture or skin oiliness as the body adjusts.
• Stool Changes: Minor changes in stool consistency or odor may occur as the higher fat content from salmon oil and cod is introduced into the diet.
• Appetite Increase: Some dogs may become noticeably more enthusiastic at mealtime once this topper is introduced, which may require closer monitoring of total daily caloric intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What omega fatty acids does this skin and coat topper contain?

Ans: The formula provides a guaranteed minimum of 1.5% Omega-3 and 4.0% Omega-6 fatty acids, sourced from salmon oil, wild-caught cod, ground flaxseed, and ground chia seeds — a multi-source omega blend designed to nourish skin and support coat health.

Q2: Why are multiple omega sources used in this formula?

Ans: Using several omega sources — including salmon oil, cod, flaxseed, and chia seeds — ensures a broader fatty acid profile covering both marine-based and plant-based omegas, which together support skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and contribute to coat shine.

Q4: How much of this topper should be added to a dog's meal daily?

Ans: The recommended daily amount is ¼ cup for dogs up to 20 lbs, ½ cup for 21–40 lbs, ¾ cup for 41–60 lbs, and ¾+ cup for dogs over 60 lbs, using a standard 8 oz dry measuring cup. Always reduce the base meal's calories accordingly.

Q6: Is this recipe suitable for all dog breeds and life stages?

Q10: How soon can improvements in skin and coat health be expected?
