Fish Oil For Dogs 1,000mg 180mg EPA – 120mg DHA – Natural Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Pets
SMP Nutra’s Fish Oil for Dogs 1000mg Softgels provide a concentrated marine-derived omega-3 formulation featuring 180 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 120 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) per softgel. Developed specifically for pet-focused supplement brands, this stock formulation offers a convenient way to create a private label fish oil supplement for dogs featuring two of the most widely studied long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
EPA and DHA have been extensively researched in canine nutrition. Veterinary literature has examined these omega-3 fatty acids in connection with areas such as normal skin and coat maintenance, joint and mobility nutrition, and overall dietary omega-3 intake. Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine notes that EPA and DHA from fish oil are among the better-studied supplemental omega-3 ingredients used in canine nutrition.
This formulation provides 300 mg of combined EPA and DHA from 1,000 mg of fish oil. That distinction is useful when developing and marketing pet supplements because the total fish oil amount and the actual EPA and DHA content are separate pieces of formulation information. Brands can use this formulation to build an omega-3 supplement for dogs around a clearly defined EPA and DHA profile.

Educational Information
Fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids are well-established subjects in veterinary nutrition research. EPA and DHA are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that differ from ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), the omega-3 fatty acid commonly obtained from plant sources. Fish oil provides EPA and DHA directly, which is one reason marine oils are frequently incorporated into canine nutrition products.
Scientific research involving dogs has examined EPA and DHA in areas including skin and coat nutrition and joint-related nutrition. Veterinary nutrition resources also emphasize that the appropriate amount of EPA and DHA can vary based on a dog's size, diet, health status, and the concentration of the particular fish oil product.
For pet brands, this distinction creates an important educational opportunity: a product labeled “1,000 mg fish oil” does not necessarily contain 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. The EPA and DHA amounts provide additional information about the specific omega-3 profile of the formulation.
