Performance notes
Sourced as a Norwegian salmon oil, this formula is positioned as a broad support supplement covering skin, coat, joints, bones, and general antioxidant support rather than targeting one issue specifically. The blended orange and salmon flavoring is an attempt to improve palatability beyond a straight fish taste, though results with picky eaters can vary.
What buyers say
With 9,400 reviews and a 4.2 star average, this is one of the more heavily reviewed fish oils in this category, though its rating is more mixed than some of the higher scoring alternatives.
It's sourced as a Norwegian salmon oil made by Hofseth BioCare and marketed as an all natural fish oil supplement.
Is this formula sized for a specific dog breed size?
It's labeled for large breed dogs, so owners of smaller dogs may want to check dosing guidance before use.
Does this fish oil help with joint and bone health?
It's formulated to support joint and bone health as part of a broader set of benefits, but it isn't a treatment for a diagnosed joint condition. Talk to your vet if your dog shows signs of joint pain or mobility issues.
