Hello there! It's wonderful that you're considering fish oil for your dog. Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can promote a healthy coat, reduce inflammation, and support heart health.
When choosing a fish oil, look for ones that specify the amount of EPA and DHA (the beneficial components) on the label. It's best to pick a high-quality product intended for pets, as these are specially formulated to meet their needs and safety standards.
Start with a small amount and gradually increase to the recommended dose to help your dog adjust. Mixing it into their food can make it easier for them to take. Always observe your dog for any changes. Upset stomachs are the most common side effect, and if your dog shows signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, it’s wise to pause the supplement and consult your vet.
Watch for any signs of an allergic reaction, like itching or swelling. If you notice these or any unusual behavior, it might be best to stop use and seek professional advice.
If you’re unsure about dosage or want to explore more about fish oil benefits specific to your dog, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We’d be happy to ensure your furry friend gets the best care possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
