Concentrated marine omega-3
Marine omega-3 fish oil for dogs and cats.
"Some fish oil" is not a dose. What supports your dog or cat is the amount of EPA and DHA they actually get. OmegaMax™ gives you 538 mg of combined EPA and DHA in every 2 ml pump, so you dose by weight instead of guessing.
The omega imbalance
Most pet diets tip the balance the wrong way.
Modern kibble tends to carry far more omega-6 than marine omega-3. That imbalance tends to show up first in the skin and coat, as dryness, itching or heavy shedding, then in joints and general comfort as pets age. It is seldom one dramatic sign. More often it is a slow drift you only notice once the coat looks dull or your dog is slower to rise.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) give the body the building blocks it uses to regulate a balanced inflammatory response, support the skin barrier. Your dog and cat cannot make these two in any useful amount, so they have to come in through the diet.
What EPA and DHA support
One oil, whole-body support.
Marine omega-3 works across systems. Fed daily at the right amount, it supports the parts of your pet that an omega-6 heavy diet tends to strain.
Skin and Coat
Supports the skin barrier, coat shine and a settled, comfortable coat.
Joints and Mobility
Supports joint comfort and everyday movement, day after day.
Brain and Cognition
DHA supports brain function in growing pets and ageing pets alike.
Heart and Circulation
EPA and DHA support normal cardiovascular function.
Stop guessing
How much does your pet actually need?
The right dose depends on the goal. A dog on everyday maintenance needs far less than a dog on targeted joint support. Enter your pet's weight and we turn the EPA and DHA figures into a simple daily amount.
Where the oil comes from
Clean marine oil, purified in Iceland.
OmegaMax™ omega-3 is purified in Iceland, drawing on the country's pristine water, clean geothermal energy and rigorous European purity standards. The oil comes from wild-caught anchovy, sardine and mackerel. Small, fast-lived fish sit low on the food chain, making them the gold-standard starting point for a high-quality fish oil designed for daily use.
