From glossy coats to healthy skin and everyday wellbeing, Omega 3 has plenty to offer our dogs! Our Norwegian Salmon Oil is packed with essential Omega 3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, to help support your dog's health from the inside out. Plus, with its convenient pump dispenser, it's easy to add to their daily meals.
We're delighted to share that our Norwegian Salmon Oil has been independently tried and tested by The Dog Trainer School (TDTS), achieving an outstanding 96.7% overall score and earning the official TDTS Recommended Product badge! From fussy eaters to shinier coats, what did the dogs (and their owners!) really think? Let's dive into the results.
Putting our Norwegian Salmon Oil to the test
As part of the TDTS Recommended programme, 30 dogs of different breeds, ages, sizes and diets put our Norwegian Salmon Oil through its paces over six weeks.
Their owners, all members of The Dog Trainer School's professional community, added the oil to their dogs' daily meals following our feeding guidelines. Throughout the trial, they shared their honest feedback on everything from how easy it was to use and whether their dogs enjoyed it, to any noticeable changes in skin, coat condition, mobility and general wellbeing.
Testers also rated the product's value for money and how confidently they'd recommend it to other dog owners.
Did dogs enjoy Dorwest Norwegian Salmon Oil?
We know how tricky it can be to find a supplement that your dog actually enjoys, especially if they're a particularly fussy eater! Luckily, our Norwegian Salmon Oil proved to be a real hit with the dogs taking part. An incredible 93.1% of testers (27 out of 29) gave their dog's willingness to eat the oil a full 10/10! The remaining two testers weren't far behind, both giving it an impressive 8/10. That's particularly encouraging for owners who struggle to introduce new supplements into their dog's routine.
Here's what tester Sophie Ireland had to say:
“The fact this salmon oil met my fussy dog's approval is a huge achievement for Dorwest!”
It seems Sophie wasn't alone! Many testers commented on how enthusiastically their dogs tucked into their meals, with some licking their bowls clean.
Did testers notice improvements in their dogs' skin and coat?
A healthy, glossy coat is one of the reasons many owners choose to add salmon oil to their dog's diet, so we were particularly pleased to see the positive feedback around coat condition!
During the six-week trial, testers reported several encouraging changes:
- 16 testers noticed improvements in their dog's coat shine.
- 16 testers reported a softer coat.
- Other testers noticed improvements in skin comfort, including less itching.
- Others also reported positive changes in their dog's energy levels and mobility.
Our Norwegian Salmon Oil is naturally rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, which help maintain healthy, nourished skin and a soft, glossy coat. These essential fatty acids also help support normal joint function, making salmon oil a useful everyday addition for dogs of all ages.
Tester Bonnie shared her experience:
“My dog gets very itchy when shedding, adding the salmon oil consistently into his diet at the recommended dosage definitely helped him to be more comfortable.”
Is Dorwest Norwegian Salmon Oil easy to use?
When it comes to supporting our dogs' health, we know that keeping things simple makes it easier to stick to a daily routine. That's why we were delighted to see just how highly testers rated our Norwegian Salmon Oil for ease of use.
An impressive 89.7% (26 out of 29 testers) rated it a full 10/10 for daily ease of use! The remaining three testers gave it either 8 or 9 out of 10.
Our handy pump dispenser proved particularly popular. With no measuring or preparation needed, simply add the recommended amount to your dog's usual food and they're good to go!
As tester Jayne explained:
“Easy to use pump just put on food, dog enjoyed it, no issues”
We also received some helpful suggestions for improvement, with a few testers mentioning that the pump could become oily or occasionally leak. We're always grateful for honest feedback that helps us understand how we can make our products even better!
Is Dorwest Norwegian Salmon Oil good value for money?
We believe that looking after your dog's everyday health should be simple, without compromising on quality. Our Norwegian Salmon Oil is responsibly sourced from Norway and carefully handled to help preserve its nutritional value and freshness. It's also independently verified for authenticity, so you can feel confident about what you're adding to your dog's bowl.
We're pleased to say that value for money was another area where our Norwegian Salmon Oil received positive feedback. Testers particularly appreciated the generous 500ml bottle, how long it lasted and the quality of the oil. While some acknowledged that cheaper alternatives are available, many felt that the quality, convenience and everyday benefits made it good value.
Tester Carol-Anne Burns summed it up nicely:
“Great product at a very reasonable price”
Would dog professionals recommend it?
The results speak for themselves!
22 out of 29 testers (75.9%) said they would definitely recommend our Norwegian Salmon Oil, with a further five saying they probably would.
That means 93.1% of testers gave a positive recommendation, something we're incredibly proud of! From its excellent acceptance by even the fussiest of dogs to the encouraging improvements in coat condition and skin comfort, it's wonderful to see such positive feedback from professionals who work with dogs every day.
The final verdict: 96.7% and TDTS Recommended!
We're thrilled that our Norwegian Salmon Oil has officially earned TDTS Recommended Product status, achieving a fantastic overall score of 96.7%!
From its excellent taste and simple daily use to the positive feedback around shinier, softer coats, we're delighted with the results.
While every dog's needs are different, these findings highlight how our Norwegian Salmon Oil can be a convenient and enjoyable addition to their everyday routine, helping to support skin, coat condition and overall wellbeing. A huge thank you to The Dog Trainer School and all the wonderful dogs and owners who took part in the trial!
