Ingredients
Crude Salmon Oil, Fish Oil (Anchovy And Sardine), Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil, Antioxidant (D-Alpha-Tocopherol and Soya Oil).

Fish Oil (Salmo Spp.), Salmo Spp. Oil, Salmonidae Oil, Omega-3 Marine Oil (Salmo Spp.)
Salmon oil is a nutrient-rich oil derived from the tissues of salmon, an animal source. It is primarily included in pet food for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin, coat, and joint health. Salmon oil is utilised in its extracted liquid form, rather than as whole fish, to optimise absorption and deliver concentrated nutritional benefits.
Salmon oil is included as a source of omega-3 fatty acids to support skin and coat health, which can enhance the nutritional profile of the product. Its presence also serves as a marketing feature, appealing to consumers seeking premium or functional ingredients.

Engraulis Spp. Oil, Fish Oil (Engraulis Spp.), Anchovy Fish Oil, Engraulidae Oil
Anchovy oil is a marine-derived oil extracted from anchovies, a small species of fish. In dog food manufacturing, it is typically supplied as a refined oil rather than in its raw fish form. Anchovy oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support skin and coat health, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health in dogs. When included at appropriate levels, it is considered safe; however, excessive intake may contribute to calorie overload or imbalances in fatty acid ratios.
Manufacturers include anchovy oil in dog food formulations to provide a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin, coat, and joint health in dogs, while also serving as a practical and sustainable marine oil option for balancing essential fatty acid content in the diet.

Pilchard Oil, Clupeidae Oil, Fish Oil (Clupeidae), Clupea Spp. Oil
Sardine oil is a purified fat extracted from sardines, a type of small oily fish, and is used as a source of dietary lipids in dog food. It is typically added in its refined liquid form. Sardine oil is rich in omega‑3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support skin and coat health, joint function, and cognitive development in dogs. When included at appropriate levels, it is considered safe; however, excessive intake may contribute to gastrointestinal upset or an imbalance of dietary fats.
Sardine oil is included in dog food formulations to provide a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin, coat, and overall health, while also serving as a palatable and practical ingredient for manufacturers seeking to enhance nutritional value. Its use benefits both the dog and the manufacturer by improving nutrient content and product appeal.

Flaxseed Oil, Oleum Lini, E401, Linum Usitatissimum Oil
Linseed oil, derived from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), is a plant-based ingredient valued for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which supports skin and coat health in pets. In pet food, linseed oil is utilised in its natural, cold-pressed form to optimise nutrient retention and bioavailability.
Linseed oil is included as a source of omega-3 fatty acids to support skin and coat health, providing a plant-based alternative to fish oils. Its presence also allows manufacturers to market the product as containing beneficial oils for overall wellbeing.

Vitamin E, D-Alpha Tocopherol, RRR-Alpha Tocopherol, E307
Alpha tocopherol is a form of vitamin E derived from plant sources, such as vegetable oils and nuts. It functions primarily as an antioxidant, helping to protect pet food fats from oxidation and supporting immune health. Alpha tocopherol is not used in its raw, natural state but is instead utilised as a stabilised compound to optimise safety, efficacy, and absorption in pet food formulations.
Alpha tocopherol is included as a natural antioxidant to help preserve fats and extend the product’s shelf life. It also serves as a label-friendly source of vitamin E, appealing to health-conscious consumers.

Glycine Max Oil, E322, Soya Oil, Soya Bean Oil
Soybean oil is a plant-derived oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean (Glycine max). It serves as a concentrated source of energy and provides essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which supports skin and coat health in pets. Soybean oil is utilised in its refined liquid form, not as whole soybeans, to optimise digestibility and nutrient availability in pet food formulations.
Soybean oil is included as a cost-effective source of fat and essential fatty acids, supporting energy density and skin and coat health in pet food. It also contributes to product texture and palatability while helping to optimise manufacturing costs.
