Omega Plus King Salmon Oil is a good source of marine-based omega-3 to support your horse’s skin, coat, and overall wellbeing. Rich in the long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA, which are naturally occurring in marine-sourced oils, it provides these essential nutrients in a form that is readily absorbed and utilised.

Transition Plan:
Omega Plus King Salmon Oil supports your horse’s overall wellbeing by delivering valuable marine-based omega-3s that complement their daily feed. Our step-by-step transition plan makes it easy to introduce, ensuring your horse continues to enjoy mealtimes while adapting to the new taste.
Day 1-2 Step: 1: The Teaser
Amount: 5 ml per feed
Method:
Mix oil thoroughly with a portion of the horse’s usual feed.
Optional: Add a tiny bit of something tasty like apple or carrot shavings to mask the new flavour.
Tip:
Head tossing or hesitation is normal. Lead them to the feed but let them decide to taste it.
Day 3-4 Step 2: The Sneaky Blend
Amount: 10 ml per feed
Method:
Gradually increase the oil and mix into a slightly larger portion of feed.
Continue adding a small treat or natural flavour enhancer if needed.
Tip:
Give the horse a little “sniff and taste” session before the feed to spark curiosity.
Day 5 onwards Step 3: The Confidence Boost
Amount: 20–30 ml (or target daily dose up to 60ml)
Method:
Mix oil into the full feed.
Offer a favourite treat right after feeding to reinforce positive associations.
Tip:
Some horses settle once they realize the taste isn’t unpleasant. Remember, you can lead a horse to oil, but you can’t make it eat!
