Nutrition Notes
This meal provides omega-3 fatty acids from three sources: salmon (EPA and DHA), flaxseed (ALA), and fish oil (EPA and DHA). These essential fatty acids are crucial for maintaining skin cell membrane integrity, reducing inflammation, and promoting a healthy, glossy coat. Coconut oil adds MCTs that also support skin health. Blueberries provide antioxidants that protect skin cells from damage.
Tips
- Consistency is key — feed omega-rich meals 3–4 times per week for best coat results.
- You should see visible coat improvement within 2–4 weeks.
- Ground flaxseed is better absorbed than whole seeds.
- This meal also helps reduce itching in dogs with mild skin allergies.
- Store flaxseed in the fridge to keep it fresh.
