Omega OilUpdated 20 days ago

Product Overview

Q: What does Omega Oil do and how does it work?

Our Omega Oil helps support healthy skin, heart health, and joint function through a carefully-crafted combination of fish oil, wheat germ oil, and biotin. Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, reduces inflammation and helps support heart health. Wheat germ oil provides omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, which nourish the skin and promote joint flexibility, while biotin enhances skin health and promotes a shiny coat.

Q: What makes it different from other products in the market?

The biggest differentiation is the ratio of our omegas. We have a balanced ratio of omega 3, 6, and 9, by combining fish oil and wheat germ oil. There are no other products in the market that offer this balanced inclusion. Our Omega Oil contains EPA and DHA, which offers a whole host of benefits, from boosting cognition and joint support to improving your dog's skin and coat. We also include biotin for an extra boost of skin support.

Q: Is it safe to use Omega Oil with other Native Pet supplements?

Yes! You can safely combine Omega Oil with any other Native Pet product. We always recommend starting with a lower serving and easing into the full serving when introducing new products to your dog’s diet and when combining new supplements.

Q: Do you recommend pairing Omega Oil with any other products?

We recommend taking our quiz to find your dog’s personalized routine (+ you’ll get $5 off!). TIP: since our Omega Oil is high in healthy fats, it’s important to balance the fats with fiber. Our Pumpkin Powder and Wondergland products are great sources of fiber, so be sure to check those out!

Q: What flavor is Omega Oil?

Our Omega Oil comes from wild-caught pollock and salmon, which give it an all-natural flavor that dogs love!

Q: What is the difference between Omega Oil and Sockeye Salmon Oil? How do I decide between the two?

Our Sockeye Salmon Oil is a single-source, single-origin fish oil with high levels of Astaxanthin, which is a powerhouse antioxidant that helps support cells & immune function. Both products have full Omega Fatty Acid profiles (3, 6 and 9), are sustainably sourced, and have a natural taste that dogs love.

Wheat germ oil is added to provide a balanced ratio of omega 3,6, or 9. Wheat germ oil provides omega 6s and 9s, while fish oil provides the majority of the omega 3s.

Q: What if my dog gets diarrhea from the Omega Oil?

We highly recommend easing into the full recommended serving size whenever adding new products to your dog’s diet. That being said, we always recommend reaching out to your veterinarian if you notice any changes in your dog’s health.

Q: Is it in the triglyceride form or ethyl ester form?

Our Omega Oil product contains wild-caught fish oil with minimal processing (i.e. cold pressing, filtration of solid fish parts). The triglyceride form is the natural form that fish oil is found in fish. However, our product may contain some trace amounts of ethyl ester forms that are inherent to the production process. This is typical for all wild-caught fish oil processing.

Q: Does it contain any common allergens?

Wheat and Fish. Our Omega Oil contains fish oil and wheat germ oil. During the pressing process, much of the gluten is removed, but it is not gluten-free. There may be trace amounts of gluten, and we cannot claim "gluten-free" because we do not test for gluten in the wheat germ oil.

Q: Where do the ingredients come from?

Our Omega Oil is made from sustainable, wild-caught Alaskan pollock and salmon, ensuring high-quality fish oils. Our wheat germ oil is sourced from North America. While the majority of our ingredients (>99.99%) come from the USA, we use a small amount of biotin (<0.01%) sourced from China, as it's not available elsewhere. We carefully vet our suppliers to ensure that they follow our minimal processing requirements, along with cGMP and GFSI requirements.

Q: Is your Omega Oil gluten free and non-gmo?

During the pressing process, much of the gluten is removed, but it is not gluten-free. There may be trace amounts of gluten, and we cannot claim "gluten-free" because we do not test for gluten in the wheat germ oil.

We cannot guarantee the quality of other brand’s supplements and we always recommend consulting your veterinarian when it comes to combining any supplements with your dog’s medication.

We recommend storing the Omega Oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and freshness. Refrigeration is not required.

Q: What is the shelf life?

The best-by date is printed on the packaging.

Q: Is the packaging recyclable or environmentally friendly?

Our Omega Oil packaging is made using 100% recyclable tin. The plastic we use for the pump and plug are recyclable. However, the pump does contain a spring mechanism, which is non-recyclable. Therefore, we recommend removing the pump and discarding it before recycling the tin along with the attached plastic plug. We are continually looking to reduce plastic use and to increase recyclable materials in our packaging.

We purposely keep the dosage low to prevent any issues in the event your dog gets into the entire bottle. If your dog shows any signs of discomfort, we always recommend reaching out to your vet.
