The product

Is GAIABITE for both cats and dogs?

Yes. GAIABITE Fish Oil for Pets is formulated for cats and dogs, and the serving directions on the bottle are by body weight. If your pet has a health condition, takes medication, or is pregnant or nursing, check with your veterinarian first.

What's in it?

Exactly what the box says, in order: salmon oil (the first ingredient — 90% of the bottle), Antarctic krill oil, walnut oil, evening primrose oil, flaxseed oil, borage seed oil, chicken fat, natural vitamin E, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3, beta-carotene and rosemary extract. Guaranteed per 1 ml pump: 210 mg omega-3 fatty acids, including 115 mg EPA and 70 mg DHA.

Why salmon oil and Antarctic krill oil together?

Salmon oil makes up 90% of the formula and provides the omega-3 fatty acids most pet owners are looking for. Antarctic krill oil is added as a second marine source of omega-3s. The plant oils round out the fatty-acid profile, and natural vitamin E and rosemary extract help protect the oil.

Why an aluminum pump bottle?

Oils don't like light or air. The opaque aluminum bottle keeps light out, and the pump lets you serve without unscrewing a cap at every meal — one pump is about 1 ml. Keep the bottle closed between uses.

How should I store it?

Keep the bottle closed, in a cool place away from heat and direct sunlight, and follow the storage directions printed on the label.

Is it suitable for kittens, puppies, or pets on medication?

Ask your veterinarian before giving any supplement to a kitten or puppy, to a pet that is pregnant or nursing, or alongside medication or an existing health condition.

Serving & use

How much should I give my pet?

Follow the serving directions on the bottle for your pet's body weight. One pump is about 1 ml.

  • Cats up to 8 kg (18 lb): 1–2 pumps a day
  • Cats over 8 kg (18 lb): 1–2 pumps a day
  • Dogs under 8 kg (18 lb): 2 pumps a day
  • Dogs 8–20 kg (18–44 lb): 3 pumps a day
  • Dogs over 20 kg (44 lb): 4 pumps a day
How do I serve it?

Pump it straight over wet or dry food and mix it in, once a day with a meal. If your pet is new to fish oil, start with half the serving for the first few days and work up to the full amount.

What if my cat won't eat it?

Most cats take to the salmon taste, but every pet is different. Try a smaller amount mixed into wet food first, or serve it at the meal your pet is hungriest for. If your pet still won't take it, our 365-Day Money-Back Guarantee covers your full first order, whether it was a one-time purchase or your first subscription delivery, with no bottle limit. A return is not normally required; see our Refund Policy for the limited exceptions.

How long does a bottle last?

Each 243 ml bottle holds about 243 pumps. At 2 pumps a day that's about 4 months for one cat, or about 2 months for two cats. A large dog at 4 pumps a day goes through a bottle in about 2 months. Choose the subscription delivery schedule available at checkout that suits your pets' needs, and adjust upcoming deliveries from your account.

When will I notice a difference?

Skin and coat changes take time. Give it consistent daily use for several weeks and judge over the first couple of months — results vary from pet to pet.
