Thanks for your question! Deciding between mixed fish oil and salmon-only fish oil for your pet can be a bit confusing, but I'm here to help.
Both options can support joint health since they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and improve joint function. Mixed fish oil blends, which may include a variety of fish like sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, provide a broad range of omega-3s. This variety could offer a more balanced intake, depending on the individual fish sources.
Salmon-only fish oil is usually richer in omega-3s, especially in EPA and DHA, the key components beneficial for joints. It can be a good choice if you're looking for a higher concentration of these fatty acids.
Regardless of your choice, ensure the product is high quality and free from heavy metals or contaminants. Start with a small dose to see how your pet reacts, as some may experience stomach upset.
Look for these signs that may indicate a more serious issue: persistent limping, severe stiffness, difficulty moving, or excessive licking of joints. If you notice any of these symptoms, it might be time to consult with a veterinarian.
Feel free to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet if you need personalized guidance on choosing the right supplement or addressing any concerns about your pet's joint health. We're here to help.

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
