Green Paw Couch Potato Oil 60ml

Green Paw Couch Potato, oil for pets 60 ml

Couch Potato is an oil-based feed material for animals, primarily made from cold-pressed Norwegian salmon oil, which constitutes 88.3% of the composition. It is supplemented with 10% krill oil, 500 mg of hemp seed cake extraction per package, and rosemary extract, listed by the manufacturer as a feed additive at 0.2%. The analytical composition provided by the manufacturer is as follows: 96% fats, 3.5% phospholipids, 16% omega 3 fatty acids, 7% EPA, and 6% DHA. The dosage is specified according to body weight, not per serving: 10 ml is recommended for every 20 kg, which is two teaspoons. The manufacturer sets an upper limit: the daily dose of hemp phytonutrients should not exceed 2 mg for each kilogram of the animal’s body weight. The 60 ml bottle is the smaller of the two packages in which the manufacturer offers this formula; the other has 120 ml and twice the amount of hemp oil. The composition, percentage shares, and dosage conversion are identical in both.

Ingredients

Ingredients listed by the manufacturer:

• Feed material: cold-pressed Norwegian salmon oil, 88.3%
• Feed material: krill oil, 10%
• Feed material: hemp seed cake extraction, 500 mg
• Feed additive: rosemary extract, 0.2%

It is important to understand what these names mean, as this is not a list of supplements for humans, but a feed material, and the manufacturer consistently adheres to this terminology. Cold-pressed Norwegian salmon oil constitutes the vast majority of the content and is responsible for the fat profile: the manufacturer states 16% omega 3 fatty acids, including 7% EPA and 6% DHA. The 10% krill oil contributes phospholipids, which are 3.5% in the analytical composition. The rosemary extract, listed as a feed additive, serves as an antioxidant to protect the oil from rancidity. The hemp seed cake extraction is provided not in percentages, but in milligrams per package, and there are 500 mg in this bottle. Only this item in the list is recorded in this way, so when comparing both packages, this is the focus: the rest of the composition is described in percentage shares, which do not change with the bottle size.

How to use

The manufacturer provides dosage based on the animal’s body weight: 10 ml is recommended for every 20 kg, which is two teaspoons. The oil is added to the food. For smaller animals, this value needs to be proportionally adjusted, and at the first administration, it is advisable to start with a smaller amount and observe the reaction.

• Dosage: 10 ml per 20 kg body weight
• Ten milliliters corresponds to two teaspoons
• Administer together with food
• Daily limit of hemp phytonutrients: 2 mg per 1 kg body weight
• Shake the bottle before each use

For smaller animals, a teaspoon may be too large a unit: it is more convenient to measure the dose with a syringe without a needle.

For whom

This bottle is a trial size and suitable for smaller animals, as the manufacturer also offers the same formula in a package that is twice as large. The most important thing when making the first purchase concerns the conversion. The manufacturer provides the serving as a conversion based on body weight, which is 10 ml for 20 kg, rather than a fixed daily value. For a smaller animal, it needs to be proportionally reduced, and then a teaspoon ceases to be a convenient unit, and it is better to use a syringe without a needle. There is also a separate limit that the manufacturer sets for hemp phytonutrients: no more than 2 mg per kilogram of body weight daily. This is a supplementary feed material, so it is given with food, not instead of it, and it does not replace veterinary care. If your animal is ill, taking medication, pregnant, or nursing, consult with a veterinarian before administering the product. At the first administration, it is also advisable to start with a smaller amount than calculated and check how the animal reacts to the fish oil itself.
