Fish-free fish oil? Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® is a microalgae oil for dogs and cats

Our latest product, Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE®, is a microalgae oil for dogs and cats. It offers marine omega fatty acids to support your pet’s daily well-being. This microalgae oil contains as much omega-3 EPA and DHA as high-quality fish oil—about four times more than salmon oil.

Why should dogs and cats get marine omega-3 fatty acids?

Numerous studies show that marine omega-3 fatty acids help maintain and improve overall health in many ways.

For puppies and kittens, they support the development of the brain and senses. In adult pets, they help protect joints, the heart, and the brain.

These fatty acids may be small, but their impact is significant—even if you don’t notice the effects right away.

Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® replaces traditional salmon and fish oils

Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® is a microalgae oil that fully replaces traditional fish and salmon oils for dogs and cats.

It’s a great choice for daily health support. The supplement helps protect joints, the brain, and the heart—and supports healthy development in growing pets.

Its mild taste makes it suitable even for picky eaters.

Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® is safe for dogs and cats with fish allergies. It’s also an environmentally responsible option—with no compromise on health benefits.

Why are omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids important?

  • They support the fertility of the mother and the development of the puppy and kitten (especially omega-3 DHA).
  • They protect the joints, brains, and hearts.
  • Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation.

Why did we choose microalgae oil for Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE®?

Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® is a new innovation—a signal from the future.

Climate change is reducing fish populations in the region where the fish oils for Nutrolin® products are traditionally sourced. As the Pacific Ocean warms, the marine food web weakens. To protect fish stocks, organizations that monitor sustainable fishing have had to limit catches in the area.

This is the right course of action, but it may also drive up the cost of fish oil.

We decided to develop a product that has minimal environmental impact and whose production isn’t threatened by changing weather patterns.

Nutrolin® supports your dog's everyday well-being

When is another Nutrolin® product a better choice?

Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® contains the same omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids as our fish oil–based Nutrolin® products. However, it does not include the full Nutrolin® nutrient concept—except for natural vitamin E.

If your pet is a senior, we recommend Nutrolin® SENIOR for dogs and Nutrolin® CAT SENIOR for cats to ensure more comprehensive support.

If your dog or cat suffers from osteoarthritis or needs extra joint support, the best choice is Nutrolin® HIP & JOINT.

Nutrolin® SKIN & COAT supports healthy skin and a shiny coat

Please note that neither fish oil nor microalgae oil helps with skin health. While it’s true that omega-3 fatty acids come from both plants and marine sources, they are different in function.

Marine omega-3s like EPA and DHA support joint, heart, and brain health.

Plant-based omega-3s, on the other hand, work together with omega-6 fatty acids to maintain skin health.

Nutrolin® SKIN & COAT is a patented, plant oil–based fatty acid blend that nourishes and protects the skin and improves coat quality.

You can give your pet both Nutrolin® OMEGA SENSITIVE® and Nutrolin® SKIN & COAT. To get the full benefit of both products, we recommend giving one in the morning and the other in the evening.
