Fish oil benefits
The core ingredient in our 'Omega' range is Atlantic Salmon oil, which has been tested for toxins and found to be less than 0.1% in mercury, lead and cadmium. It is human food-grade and of premium quality.
Fish oil is a polyunsaturated fat which is classed as a ‘good fat’ and is an excellent and rich source of Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are crucial in order for the body to perform key biological functions. Animals (humans and dogs!) are unable to produce EFA’s themselves so it is vital to add these beneficial fats to our diet. Fish oil consists of ‘long chain’ EFA’s in the form of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) & DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These types of EFA’s are different to flaxseed oil which consist of ‘short chain’ EFA’s in the form of ALA and LA. Omega 3 in the form of EPA & DHA supports the health of the brain, eyes, heart, kidneys and immune system. It is recommended that both short and long chain EFA’s are included in a dogs diet for total health and wellness.
Any oils that have been added to dog food in the manufacturing process will lose their nutritional value due to being subject to heat, light and air. The same applies when oil is added to food that has been prepared and frozen ready for later use. Oils need to be taken in their ‘raw’ state and as such, added to food, just before feeding.
More information on the importance of EFA's
EFAs are fat carried nutrients that every mammal needs to maintain healthy function and structure of smooth muscle organs (heart), to protect and build liver cells and to maintain healthy skin, coat and build strong joint tissues. They have also been linked to retinal development and are responsible for the synthesis and modulation of prostaglandins - chemicals that serve as mediators of various psychological processes in the body. Prostaglandins act upon smooth muscle contractions of the heart and digestive tract, the initiation and regulation of inflammatory responses and inhibit excessive clotting of the blood.
This means that if your dog doesn’t receive sufficient amounts of EFAs, critical body functions can be severely disrupted. Your dog can develop chronic skin and coat disorders, digestive problems, cardiovascular disease, degenerative eye disease and allergies. Even dogs not showing any signs of disease will usually show dramatic benefits of an EFA enriched diet very quickly. A shinier, softer coat, less shedding, healthier skin, fewer fleas and better tolerance to allergens. With this in mind, it is easier to understand that EFA’s shouldn’t be regarded as a supplement but as a necessity.
Fish oil by itself can oxidise and go rancid quite quickly. Adding our proprietary blend of herbal tinctures to our fish oil helps to maintain its freshness, which is certified by an independent DEFRA approved laboratory.
Let customers speak for us
from 1074 reviewsNice handy packet for on the go moments like shows, events or at the vets.
Take 30-60 minutes to work.
I never ever review products but I have to review this product. This truly has sorted our 9 year old boy who we had returned to us 9 years later through no fault of his own. He was a humper. We started him on Horny Hound in desperation. 1 week in he is a model dog. He is so calm and has stopped humping. Poor little man must have been so anxious. Going to make subscription for future orders. So do glad I read about this.
Joint care and tummy care.
Work so well, very happy working spaniels.
Fit and active highly recommended.
What can I say my Wolfhound has a hernia in his lower intestine , Bottoms up has managed to maintain his functions and stopped the swelling and gland filling up hence no operation can’t recommend highly enough 🐕😀
Good layout, making comparison of products easy.
Plenty of detailed information to help you choose products you need.
Enjoyed by the dogs
It's still early days using this but so far I am seeing some seriously encouraging improvements. Es suffers with stiffness in the muscles and has been on another joint supplement for a while but I just didn't feel it was quite right. So after some research I decided to try this one from Proflax. Everything else I have given the dogs (especially Es) has worked well. When i read the ingredients and reviews it was ticking a lot of boxes for me so I thought lets try it. Its only been a few weeks and I introduced it slowly as she can be sensitive, but this week alone I have seen Es do things she hasn't done for a long time. For example, she jumped up and lifted her back end, this hasn't happened for a long time. She has been racing about like a crazy women and doing zoomies around the house. She has also not shown any stiffness after a long walk. I can only assume its all because of this pot of magic!! I plan to put the other 2 dogs on it as well. Again, it looks like we have found another Proflax product that works brilliantly.
It really helps to calm her when out walking when sometimes when they are shooting
A friend of mine recommended Tummy Tastic for my border collie, who had been suffering from an prolonged upset tummy, after a week on tummy tastic her bowels are working normally again - delighted - thank you
Great
Brought to help alleviate dogs
'teenage spots ' and itchy feet.
Has worked, no more spots or chewing of feet, just healthy glossy coat.
I like this product and my dogs seem to like the taste
Great stuff, wish I had used it sooner. My boys are less windy these days and Helps settle their tummy.
Would recommend.
I wouldn't want to be without it now!
This has literally healed my dogs gut from the inside out! He previously had hair loss, allergic type skin and constant itch. After a tub of this, his hair has completely recovered, so much so, anyone I meet compliments it. He’s now a shiny black lab that doesn’t suffer from constant itch! I’ve tried everything else from diet to laundry powder, nothing beats this. Highly recommend
