Dog supplements for your four-legged friend's health
By adding dog supplements to your dog's kibble, you make your furry friend's meal even healthier. A four-legged friend bursting with health starts with quality food made from the best ingredients, and supplements are naturally part of that. The Prima Diervoeding range consists of three different variants: salmon oil, sardine oil, and sheep fat. Create a delightful surprise effect with our dog supplements by sprinkling a few drops over your dog's kibble. This way, your furry foodie also benefits from various health advantages.
Salmon oil
We start with the most popular flavor in our dog supplements range: salmon oil. This supplement is popular for good reason; it is packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Since your furry friend cannot produce these fatty acids themselves, they are essential to your dog's diet. Not only is it a healthy dog supplement; most four-legged friends love salmon oil. The enticing smell even encourages the pickiest dogs to eat.
Sardine oil
Not as well known yet, but just as tasty; we are of course talking about sardine oil! With this dog supplement, your furry foodie gets a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids. If your dog has had enough of salmon oil, try adding sardine oil to your (online) shopping cart. Bet your rascal will be happy with a different flavor?
Sheep fat
We conclude the list of healthy dog supplements with sheep fat. Our range includes this supplement for good reason; by pouring a few drops of sheep fat over your dog's kibble, your loyal friend receives a good amount of vitamin A and vitamin D. Plenty of reason to enrich dry food with sheep fat!
What are the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids?
We've mentioned omega-3 fatty acids a few times, but what are they actually for? Let's start by distinguishing the main fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that your four-legged friend cannot produce themselves. Fatty acids that your dog can produce — in small amounts — are EPA and DHA. These fatty acids contribute to a shiny coat, a healthy immune system, and strong dog joints. Moreover, EPA reduces inflammatory reactions that occur with osteoarthritis.
Does your dog benefit from omega-6 fatty acids?
The answer is a resounding ‘yes’! One of the most important omega-6 fatty acids is linoleic acid; this is also a fatty acid that your dog cannot produce themselves. For this reason, it is essential that this fatty acid is part of your dog's diet. Linoleic acid contributes to better heart muscle function and a healthy metabolism.
What is the importance of vitamins A and D?
As mentioned earlier, sheep fat contains a good amount of vitamins A and D; these support better vision, a healthier digestive system, and strong bones. Your dog also benefits from healthier skin and a shiny coat. But the benefits don’t stop there, as vitamins A and D also contribute to a stronger immune system.

Keep this in mind
No matter how healthy and tasty our dog supplements are; salmon oil, sardine oil, and sheep fat consist of animal fats. If you give too much, your dog can gain quite a few pounds. Therefore, carefully follow the feeding table on the packaging and deviate from it as little as possible. Note: a dog with sensitive intestines can (temporarily) get diarrhea from an excessive amount of dog supplements.
