Benefits in Mobility/Joint Development & Certified by Veterinarians
Stryde Fish Oil For Dogs Focuses on Joint and Mobility
Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, often found in the tissue of cold-water fish like salmon, cod, mackerel, anchovies, and sardines. As fish sometimes contain high levels of mercury, dog owners choose to add the supplement to their pet’s diet instead. Among the numerous benefits of fish oil for dogs is that it can help improve cardiac health, maintain brain development, and relieve joint inflammation. Its effects on bone development and mobility make the supplement a popular choice for canines with arthritis and similar diseases.
5 Fish Oil Benefits for Dogs
Omega-3 fatty acids improve weight-bearing in dogs and other functional activities.
The fat also helps muscle strength and endurance in dogs with osteoarthritis, slowing its progression. In addition, fish oil helps decrease the pain caused by arthritis and inflammation.
Fish oil can be an alternative natural anti-inflammatory supplement.
This minimizes the risks associated with carprofen intake, which includes gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, and fatigue in your dog.
Fish oil reduces itchy skin and hair loss in dogs, improving their coat quality.
Like Omega-6, Omega-3 promotes skin health by preventing flaky coats, dermatitis, irritation, and chewing.
Fish oil helps improve dry eyes in dogs.
A 2018 study showed that the key properties of fish oil (EPA and DHA) helped treat dogs living with keratoconjunctivitis sicca or dry eyes.
Fish oil is an effective natural supplement to improve heart health in dogs.
Fish oil may improve cardiac function in dogs with chronic heart failure or valvular disease.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECT OF FISH OIL FOR DOGS?
A common side effect of fish oil for dogs is diarrhea, which is typical when there is an increase in fat intake. Weight gain is another side effect as the extra fat from the fish oil may lead to a calorie increase, so it’s best to monitor your pet’s weight when you include fish oil in their diet.
HOW MUCH FISH OIL SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED TO DOGS?
The amount of fish oil you should give your dog depends on their size and breed and other factors, such as existing conditions. But generally, the following dosage can be followed:

If you are administering fish oil to your dog for the first time or transitioning to another brand, we recommend starting with half the label dose for the first week and gradually increasing the dosage.
While the supplement is safe for dogs, it is important to monitor any possible side effects of fish oil on your dog and consult the veterinarian if these side effects worsen or progress.
