Omega 3+ | Canadian Harp Seal Oil

How do I use the supplements?

You should follow the recommended dosages and talk to your dog's health care provider. You can also mix the supplement with some of these foods: plain yogurt, kefir, bone broth, goat milk, warm coconut oil or even water. If you're not sure you can ask your dog's health care provider or send us an email hello@NorthHoundLife.com.

My dog has pancreatitis — is Omega 3+ (Seal Oil) safe?

Seal oil is 100% fat (24% of which is omega-3). For dogs with pancreatitis, any fat addition needs to be discussed with your vet, as fat intake needs to be managed carefully. We recommend checking with your veterinarian before adding any oil-based supplement if pancreatitis is active or recent.

My senior dog has fatty lumps (lipomas) confirmed by the vet — can supplements help?

Turkey Tail supports immune function and may help slow fatty lump progression. Other natural approaches that have research support: weight management, increasing dietary protein, and omega-3 supplementation. Green tea extract (decaffeinated only) is another option some integrative vets recommend. These aren't cures, but they support the body's overall resilience. Always confirm with your vet that lumps are benign lipomas before supplementing.

My dog has allergies and itchy skin — what do you recommend?

Start with our Allergy Bundle as a foundation: it's built to address seasonal and environmental allergies from multiple angles. Bee Pollen (Ontario-sourced, local to your region if possible) supports immune desensitization to environmental allergens. Omega 3+ supports skin barrier and reduces inflammatory response. Introduce bee pollen slowly — start with a few granules and watch for any reaction (vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive paw licking) in the first few days.

Can I give Omega 3+ (Seal Oil) and Hip & Joint Health (Green Lipped Mussel) together?

Yes. Both are marine-sourced omega-3 products but they work differently — seal oil provides EPA and DHA, while green lipped mussel also contributes ETA (a rare omega-3 only found in GLM) plus natural anti-inflammatory compounds. They complement each other well and there's no concern about doubling up.

Can I give more than one supplement at the same time?

Yes. Most of our supplements are designed to work well together. Common combinations we see customers use: Omega 3+ with Green Lipped Mussel for joint support; Slippery Elm with Probiotic+ for digestive health; Turkey Tail with Bovine Colostrum for immune support.

Is Omega 3+ (Seal Oil) safe for long-term daily use?

Yes. Omega-3 supplementation is one of the most well-supported long-term supplements in both human and veterinary nutrition. Start with the recommended dose based on body weight and stay within those guidelines.

The label says "do not use long term" — is it safe to give every day?

This wording is required by Health Canada for all Veterinary Health Products as a standard regulatory label — it's not a specific warning about our formulations. It means: don't exceed the recommended dose without veterinary guidance, and if your dog has a known condition, check with your vet. Many of our customers give products like Green Lipped Mussel, Omega 3+, and Slippery Elm daily for years. If you have concerns about a specific product and your dog's health situation, we always recommend speaking to your vet.

Why don't all your products have scoops? 

We are making a conscious effort with our packaging to reduce waste and scoops are a small way that we can do this. Some of our products are mandated by Health Canada to include a scoop and you will find one inside your jar, these are bamboo spoons which are ultimately compostable. We know that many or all of you, pet parents, will have a measuring spoon inside your home that can be used and reused in our collective effort to be just a little better to our planet.

My dog takes multiple supplements, do I need to feed them all in one meal?

No. If your dog eats multiple meals a day and you would prefer to distribute the supplements throughout the day, you can do this.

Can this supplement be broken up between meals?

Yes, if you would prefer to break up the daily recommended dose you can do this. The daily recommended dose is the total for daily feeding, but this does not dictate that it has to be fed in one sitting.

Why are some products not available in the US?

US import regulations restrict certain animal-derived products. Specifically: Seal Oil cannot be imported into the US (Marine Mammal Protection Act)
Pure Bovine Collagen is restricted at the US border
Eggshell Membrane and Probiotic+ have faced recent US customs challenges
