Fish oil is a dietary supplement that can support the heart, joints, skin, and immune system of dogs. It contains omega-3 fatty acids found in polyunsaturated fats and is essential for the body and brain of your pet. This supplement can help your dog produce the necessary hormones that control blood flow and regulate inflammation.
Depending on dog's weight, the bottle will only last for certain days. If your dog is 10lbs it would only last up to 120 days. If you have a dog with 61lbs it will last up to 60 days only.

My research showed that Stryde has the largest amount of EPA and DHA per serving of any fish oil that I could find. We have 2 eight year old German Shepherds that have some arthritis shown in some recent X-rays and our vet recommended giving them fish oil.

Dogs are loving it and it’s working!
Carrah R.
My senior lab was showing signs of pain caused by hip dysplasia. I know this can't "cure" her, but she is visibly feeling better one month in.
Natalie A.
I was afraid that my dog wouldn’t like the oil because he is extremely picky. But the first day I put it on his food he didn’t hesitate or stop to investigate the new smell, he ate every crumb and then licked the bowl clean. It’s definitely helped his hips and knees, he’s German shepherd mix, this was a big win for us.

My dog likes it on his dry food. But loves it more in his wet food. Easy to pump!
Nancy C.
Started using it when my pup, Sassy, had TPLO surgery. I give a squirt to my other pup, Tullia, and two squirts for Sassy on their dinner. They love it!

It's been a win/win! Not only has their mobility greatly improved, but they LOVE it! So much so, they won't touch their food without Stryde in the mix!
Rebecca T.
Our dogs surgeon included a bottle of Stryde in our dogs after care package. Highly recommended it. We intend to continue with Stryde, our dog had healed well.

Best part is that my Bouviers love it. My 5 yr old female is recovering from ACL surgery & has food cut back to lose weight. She loves the oil on her food.
Nathan L.
Since the first dose, our golden doodle has loved it. Never an issue with getting her to eat food with the Stryde added to it. Very easy dosing utilizing the pump and dosage chart on the bottle.
Michael G.
Too early to tell, but my dogs don't seem to mind the taste and their gastro systems seem to tolerate it.
Stephanie K.
I have 3 dogs who all use this product. I bought this pill because my big dog had double knee surgery and I wanted his joints to continue to thrive. My 10 yr old dog and my 7 year old dog as well as my big dog are all living the oil! Thankfully, it doesn't have an odor, it's helped with their coat and allergies. They adjusted well to the oil in their system - no upset bellies. Great product!
Brenton S.
We have an older dog with bad hips and a younger one that had TPLO surgery. They both hate fish oil pills but absolutely love Stryde squirted on the dog food. It's to the point, they do not want to eat their normal food, holding out, hoping they'll get a few squirts added to their bowls.
Barbara J.
I bought the fish oil for my one year old Golden puppy, he loves the taste, and it does not have a strong odor. He has hip dysplasia in both hips and since he has been using the fish oil his limping appears to be not as profound. I am very pleased with this product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are essential fatty acids (EFAS)?
EFA’s are fatty acids that animals are not able to synthesize on their own, and thus must be obtained from their diet. In dogs and cats, both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids must be provided in the diet. Omega-6 fatty acids include linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA). Omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Linoleic acid, ALA, EPA, and DHA are all considered essential fatty acids in dogs, while LA, AA, ALA, EPA, and DHA are all considered essential in cats.
How do omega-3’s work to provide these benefits?
Omega’s are most likely beneficial due to their ability to decrease inflammation and modulate immune responses by inhibiting the arachidonic acid cascade which promotes end products such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes which have high pro-inflammatory properties. Increased levels of EPA and DHA also decrease the presence of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP’s), interleukins-1 and 2 (IL-1 and IL-2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a).
How do I know how much fish oil to give my pet?
While some studies have found beneficial effects at EPA/DHA doses as low as 50-69mg/kg (22-31mg/pound), there is strong evidence to support doses of EPA/DHA between 100-275mg/kg (45-125mg per pound) of body weight. In one study there was a dose related benefit with higher dosing (doses as high as 375mg/kg or 170mg/pound) leading to greater benefits. It is important to note that these higher doses may be inappropriate due to the potential for diarrhea at these doses and due to the number of calories provided in that amount of fish oil.
Fish oil is commonly offered in 1000mg capsules often containing only 300mg of EPA and DHA (the other 700mg is other fats). Using a dose of 100mg/kg of EPA and DHA, it would require taking 10 of these capsules a day to reach the desired level of EPA/DHA in a 65-pound dog. Not only is this expensive, it is impractical to expect to be able to give this many capsules to a dog each day.
For dogs with an appropriate weight, Stryde recommends 100-200mg/kg of total combined EPA and DHA. In obese or obese prone dogs, Stryde recommends dosing based on the estimated ideal body weight.
In cats Stryde recommends Fish oil doses of 112-120mg/kg EPA/DHA which has been reported in cats.

My pets diet has fish oil. Should I supplement on top of that?
Linoleic acid and ALA are provided in the diet in the form of corn oil, canola oil, and flaxseed oil, AA is provided by animal fat, while fish and fish-oil products are the main source of EPA and DHA. Many diets claim to contain omega-3 fatty acids, but they don’t include EPA or DHA. If you are feeding a diet rich in EPA and DHA, then reduced supplementation may be a good idea. We recommend diets with 2.5-3.5g/1000 kcal of EPA and DHA. If your pets diet contains less EPA and DHA than this, additional supplementation is appropriate. We recommend you speak to your veterinarian about altering fish oil doses if your pet food contains significant amounts of EPA and DHA.
Are omega-3’s better than omega-6’s?
While both omegas are important in normal physiological processes, during inflammatory events omega-6’s tend to produce more proinflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes than omega-3’s. Most diets have a higher ratio of omega-6’s to omega-3’s which have been attributed to increased incidence of chronic diseases. The goal of providing a higher omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is to reverse this balance.
What are the potential complications of giving fish oil to my dog?
While there are a few potential complications reported with administration of fish oil in dogs, serious complications are rare. The most common complication is diarrhea, which is primarily seen when giving high doses due to the increase in fat intake. In addition, weight gain has been listed as a potential complication. Due to the increase in calories (1tsp of fish oil is approximately 40kcal) and fat provided by the fish oil, it is important to monitor your pet for any weight gain.
Decreased platelet aggregation (decreased blood clotting) is a reported potential concern, though most studies have found no change in clotting, even at very high fish oil doses. Despite this, please consult with your veterinarian if your pet suffers from thrombocytopenia (low platelet count).
Omega-3’s are beneficial in treating inflammatory diseases. However, inflammation is a necessary part of wound healing. As such, delayed wound healing is a theoretical risk if high doses of omega-3’s are used. Thankfully studies in companion animals suggest that wound healing is not affected by omega-3 supplementation.
My pet is on a low-fat diet for a sensitive stomach. Is it safe to give fish oil?
Due to the potential for diarrhea, we recommend you gradually increase the amount of fish oil you administer daily to reach the final recommended dose approximately 5-7 days after introducing it in your pet’s diet. If you note diarrhea, we recommend reducing the amount of fish oil you are giving each day until diarrhea is no longer present.
When should we start the fish oil after surgery?
Omega-3’s (fish oil) are a cornerstone of arthritis management in pets due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Though we recommend speaking with your veterinarian first, fish oil can typically be started as soon as your pet has been diagnosed with arthritis, or an orthopedic condition predisposing to arthritis.
Is it safe to give fish oil with drugs or other joint supplements I’m already giving my pet?
There are no known contra-indications between fish oil and medications or other supplements, however, if a pet is on a medication that decreases clotting we recommend contacting your veterinarian to determine if fish oil is appropriate.
Why can’t I give flaxseed oil instead of fish oil?
Flaxseed oil is a good source of ALA. ALA has been found to have beneficial effects for dermatologic disease, but no for arthritis and orthopedic diseases. ALA can be converted to EPA and DHA, which have significant beneficial effects for patients with arthritis and orthopedic disease. Unfortunately, dogs (and humans) have limited ability to convert ALA to EPA due and limited to no conversion of ALA to DHA. In fact, diets rich in ALA must provide more than 7 times the amount of fat to provide an equivalent amount of EPA/DHA.
How long should I give my pet fish oil?
Once arthritis develops, it cannot be reversed. Fish oil can be used daily for the lifespan of a pet to help decrease inflammation in the joint, to reduce pain, increase function, and decrease the progression of arthritis.
How do I know if my fish oil supplement is a high-quality product?
Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, and thus there is a great degree of variability in the quality of available products. Ensure the product you are purchasing is third party tested for purity and freshness. In addition, look to see if the fish oil you plan to purchase is manufactured according to international quality standards and is environmentally sustainably sourced.
Why use Stryde fish oil?
Omega 3 fatty acids, specifically those from fish oils, have been found to improve lameness and weight bearing in dogs suffering from osteoarthritis, they have been shown to reduce the amount of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories need to control pain associated with osteoarthritis, and they have been shown to slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
The doses of fish oil that are required to achieve these results are typically not provided in the vast majority of diets or dietary supplements.
Stryde follows dosing guidelines that have been found to be effective in the veterinary literature.
Stryde utilizes fish oil from mackerel, herring, anchovies, and sardines. It is a human grade fish oil, certified organic, certified by Friend of the Sea conforming to sustainable fishing practices, and certified as an Iceland Premium product.
Stryde conforms to guidelines of current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations enforced by the FDA, is produced in an FDA registered facility, and is approved by the USDA.

Fish oil is a dietary supplement for supporting canine hearts, joints, skin, and immune systems. It contains omega-3 fatty acids found in polyunsaturated fats and is essential for the brain and body of your pet. This supplement can help your dog produce the necessary hormones for controlling blood flow and regulating inflammation.
Moreover, omega-3 for dogs balances out omega-6 fatty acids in the body. Most dog food contains ingredients rich in omega-6, and these grains and refined oils can make your pet consume excess omega-6 acids. Giving your pet omega-3 from fish oil ensures they get enough of both.
Fish oil for dogs also helps their body develop and function well. Omega-3 contains DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), a necessary component for proper brain and eye development in puppies. DHA can also help improve the cognitive functions of senior dogs with cognitive dysfunction syndrome. Plus, omega-3 is a way for pet owners to address canine arthritis and chronic kidney diseases in their pets.
Keep your pet healthy with fish oil in their diet.
