Senior Advanced Allergy & Immune Bites Salmon Soft Chews

Salmon oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated source of fat and long‑chain omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) to support skin and coat condition, reduce inflammation, and aid joint, cardiac and cognitive health in both dogs and cats (cats particularly benefit from preformed DHA). Because it is calorie‑dense and prone to oxidation, choose stabilized, quality‑tested salmon oil from reputable sources to avoid rancidity and contaminants, and consult your veterinarian for appropriate dosing or if your pet has a fish allergy.

Quercetin dihydrate is a plant-derived flavonoid antioxidant commonly added to pet supplements and some functional foods for its anti-inflammatory and mast-cell stabilizing properties rather than as a traditional nutrient; in dogs and cats it is often used to help manage allergic reactions, support immune health, and reduce oxidative stress. While generally well tolerated and potentially helpful for seasonal allergies and inflammatory conditions, efficacy data in pets are limited, and it should be used under veterinary guidance because dosing, possible gastrointestinal upset, and interactions with certain medications (e.g., anticoagulants or drugs metabolized by liver enzymes) need to be considered.

Dried fermentate is a dried fermentation product—typically derived from yeast or beneficial bacteria—used in pet foods as a palatant and source of bioactive postbiotic compounds (peptides, organic acids, nucleotides and B‑vitamins) that can enhance flavor and support digestive and immune health. Its nutritional contribution is usually minor but functional, improving food acceptance and supplying trace micronutrients; because composition varies with the source and processing it is not a complete protein, may contain yeast derivatives or added salts, and pets with specific sensitivities should be checked by a veterinarian.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast commonly used in pet foods and supplements as a source of protein, B-vitamins, beta‑glucans and mannan‑oligosaccharides that support digestive health, beneficial gut microbes and immune function. It is generally safe and beneficial for most dogs and cats when used as a deactivated yeast or yeast extract, though pets with specific yeast sensitivities or severely immunocompromised animals should avoid live yeast preparations and owners should consult their veterinarian if concerned.

Colostrum is the antibody‑rich first milk from mammals used in pet foods and supplements to provide immune support and gut‑health benefits through concentrated proteins, immunoglobulins, growth factors and other bioactive compounds. It may aid neonatal passive immunity, intestinal barrier function and recovery during illness or stress in dogs and cats, but efficacy depends on source and processing, and it can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in animals with dairy sensitivity and should not replace proper neonatal care or vaccinations.
