Allerderm Omegaderm Essential Fatty Acids Supplement for Small Dogs and Cats, 4mL Packet

Allerderm Omegaderm Essential Fatty Acids Supplement for Small Dogs and Cats

For small dogs and cats.

Product Description

Omegaderm is Virbac's essential fatty acid supplement for skin and coat, supplied in single-dose sachets. The formula delivers a 5:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, along with vitamins A, E, B6 and biotin, plus zinc.

The nutrients here work on the skin barrier rather than on the symptom. Essential fatty acids are a structural part of the barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out, and when that barrier is working poorly the result is the dry, flaky, dull-coated picture owners usually notice first. Zinc and biotin support the same tissue from a different direction.

The single-dose sachet is the practical advantage over a pump bottle. Each dose is measured for you, the oil has not been sitting open oxidizing between uses, and a fussy cat gets a fresh portion mixed into food rather than something that has been in the fridge for a month. This 4mL size is dosed for cats and small dogs.

Key Nutrients

• EPA and DHA (omega-3)
• Linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6)
• Vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B6, biotin
• Zinc

How to Use

Mix the contents of one sachet into your pet's food daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Give it time. Skin and coat changes follow the growth of new coat, so plan on six to eight weeks of daily use before judging the result rather than a week or two.

Fatty acids add fat and calories, so factor the dose into the daily total for a pet you are managing for weight.

Additional Information

For small dogs and cats. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug.

Tell your veterinarian about any other omega or fish oil product your pet is receiving, so the fatty acids are not doubled up. Store as directed on the label and keep out of reach of children.
