KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Strong Choice

This supplement is formulated to boost skin and coat support on top of your dog’s regular food. It combines marine-sourced omega-3s (EPA and DHA) with other fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants in an easy-to-feed soft chew. It can be a reasonable option for dogs who need extra help with coat shine or mild dry skin, as long as their base diet is complete and balanced.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Provides EPA, DHA, and omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids, which are key nutrients for skin and coat health.
  • Includes wild Alaskan salmon oil, cod liver oil, and fish oil as concentrated sources of marine omega-3s.
  • Contains vitamin E, vitamin C, biotin, kelp, and blueberries to add antioxidant and skin-supportive nutrients.
  • Soft chew format is convenient for daily use and tends to be easy for most dogs to take.

Considerations

  • This is a supplement only and should be fed alongside a complete, balanced dog food, not as a primary diet.
  • Multiple fish-based ingredients mean it may not suit dogs with fish allergies or sensitivities.
  • At about 22 calories per chew, owners of small or overweight dogs should factor this into total daily calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Oat Flour
Oat flour is used in pet food mainly as a carbohydrate source and binder that contributes soluble fiber (including beta‑glucans), modest protein, and B vitamins and minerals. It can help support digestive health and stool quality in dogs and is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is calorie‑dense so shouldn’t dominate diets for obligate carnivores and pets with grain sensitivities should be monitored for rare oat allergy or cross‑contamination with gluten‑containing grains.
02
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber, vitamins (notably beta‑carotene), minerals and antioxidants, often helping with stool quality and serving as a binder or energy ingredient. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and can support gut health, but because cats poorly convert beta‑carotene to vitamin A and require preformed vitamin A from animal sources, sweet potato is not a substitute for meat-based nutrients; its relatively high carbohydrate content also means portion control is advised for overweight or diabetic pets and it should be cooked for best digestibility.

03
Sunflower Lecithin
Sunflower lecithin is used in pet foods primarily as an emulsifier and source of phospholipids (including phosphatidylcholine), helping fats blend with water to improve texture, palatability, and fat digestibility while providing small amounts of choline that support cell membrane integrity and liver function in dogs and cats. It is generally considered safe and is often chosen as a non‑soy alternative, but supplies negligible nutrients at typical inclusion levels and should be considered when formulating for pets on strict low‑fat or pancreatitis‑prone diets.
04
Blueberry
Blueberries are used in pet foods and treats as a low‑calorie source of dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C) and antioxidant phytochemicals (anthocyanins), providing natural color and mild flavor. They may support general antioxidant and digestive health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats (obligate carnivores), but should be offered in moderation due to natural sugars and possible gastrointestinal upset, and owners should avoid products with added sweeteners (especially xylitol) or harmful preservatives.

05
Water
Water is an essential nutrient and the primary solvent and moisture component in pet foods, especially wet and canned diets, and is also used in processing and to adjust texture and palatability. It is vital for digestion, nutrient transport, temperature regulation and waste removal in dogs and cats; pets must have constant access to clean water as dehydration can quickly lead to serious health issues and requirements increase with activity, heat, or illness, while moisture in wet food can help meet part of their daily needs.
