Skin and coat
Nothing to refuse. One pump over dinner.
No chew to argue about, no capsule to hide — and for picky dogs it usually makes dinner more appealing, not less.
What is actually in the bottle
One ingredient, and one reason for each number
4,900 mg of Alaskan salmon oil per pump. Not farmed, not unstated, not cut with cheaper oil.
Of which 640 mg EPA and 480 mg DHA — the two that do the work.
Amber bottle, nitrogen-flushed, natural vitamin E as the only other ingredient.
A pump means the dose is the same every day, which is the whole point of a dose.
Per pump, 5 ml. Nothing rounded up.
A fish oil label that gives you the oil weight and not the omega-3 split is telling you the least useful number on the bottle.
One ingredient and one antioxidant. No soybean or sunflower oil cut in to lower the cost.
Why the handling matters
Fish oil is only as good as the day it was bottled
Omega-3s oxidise on contact with light, heat and air. An oxidised oil is pro-inflammatory — the exact opposite of what you bought it for.

Side by side
Against a typical salmon oil
| Typical salmon oil | DermaCoat Salmon Oil | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Farmed, or unstated | Wild-caught Alaskan |
| Cut with cheaper oils | Common | No — single source |
| Bottle | Clear plastic | Amber, nitrogen-flushed |
| Peroxide value tested | Rarely | Every batch |
| Dosing | Free pour | Metered pump |
| Omega-3 split declared | Oil weight only | EPA and DHA separately |
Peroxide value is the standard measure of how oxidised an oil is. If a brand does not test it, there is no number to show you.
Rancidity is the real issue with fish oil
The part of the category nobody advertises.
An oxidised oil works against you
Omega-3s break down on contact with light, heat and air. Once they do, the oil is pro-inflammatory — you are paying for the opposite of the effect. This is why the bottle is amber and nitrogen-flushed.
Peroxide value, every batch
It is the standard measure of oxidation. We test it per batch and will send you the figure for the batch code on your bottle.
Refrigerate, and use within 90 days
After opening, it belongs in the fridge. If it ever smells sharp, sour or paint-like rather than mildly of fish, throw it out. Do not decant it into another container.
Oil or the chew, not both
Take the oil if your dog refuses chews, if you want a higher raw omega dose, or if you have a cat too. Take the chew if you also want zinc, biotin and quercetin and would rather skip refrigeration.
Daily directions
Pumped straight over food
Start at half and build over two weeks. Going in at a full dose on day one is the usual cause of loose stool.
- Under 20 lb 1 pump a day.
- 20 to 50 lb 2 pumps a day.
- 51 to 90 lb 3 pumps a day.
- Over 90 lb 4 pumps a day. Cats: half a pump daily.
Day to day
Where this shows up in everyday life
Usually the first thing to change, somewhere around week two or three.
Dandruff and dry patches tend to follow the scratching, a couple of weeks behind it.
The visible part comes last, between weeks eight and twelve.
For a fussy eater, salmon oil over the bowl often solves two problems at once.
A metered pump instead of a free pour, so the amount does not drift.
Half a pump daily. One bottle for a multi-species household.
The honest version
What to expect, and when
The behavioural change comes before the visible one. This is the stage to watch.
Dry patches calm down and the coat starts to feel different under your hand.
The part other people notice. Also the part that takes the longest.
This is the pattern most owners report, not a guarantee for your dog. Skin has a turnover cycle and it does not hurry.
No risk to you
Give it 90 days. Then decide.
If your dog is no better, email us and we refund the order — opened tub included, nothing to ship back.
Quality you can check
Alaskan. Never farmed, never blended.
Light and oxygen are the enemy here.
Send us the code, we send the figure.
Half a pump for cats, from the same bottle.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
Oil or the chew?
The oil if your dog refuses chews, if you want a higher raw omega dose, or if you have a cat too. The chew if you also want zinc, biotin and quercetin, and would rather not deal with refrigeration. One or the other, not both.
My dog got loose stool.
Too much too fast, almost always. Stop for two days, restart at half, build up over two weeks.
Is it safe with medication?
High-dose omega-3s interact with anticoagulants. If your dog is on any medication, ask your vet first.
How do I store it?
Refrigerate after opening and use within 90 days. If it ever smells sharp, sour or paint-like rather than mildly of fish, throw it out — that is oxidation, and at that point it is doing harm rather than good.
Can I give it to my cat?
Yes. Half a pump daily, built up the same way.
How long does a bottle last?
For a 50 lb dog on 2 pumps: 24 days for the 8 oz, 48 for the 16 oz — about $0.98 a day on the larger bottle.
