VetZone® Ozonated Scrumptious Small Animal Blend Senior

This formulation is specifically adjusted for the metabolic and inflammatory challenges seen in senior dogs and cats.

Higher concentration of EPA & DHA: Targets eicosanoid-mediated inflammation more precisely than typical maintenance omegas.

Enhanced antioxidant matrix: Includes vitamin E, rosemary extract, and plant polyphenols to mitigate oxidative stress, which is elevated in geriatric patients.

Balanced omega-6 & omega-9: Maintains cutaneous lipid barrier integrity while avoiding excessive pro-inflammatory omega-6 load.

Patients >7 years old showing subtle mobility or cognitive changes.

Any dog or cat with early-stage DJD (degenerative joint disease) where you want to support the joint environment before NSAIDs are warranted.

Older pets with recurrent dermatitis or coat thinning, where skin turnover slows with age.

Geriatric cats prone to oxidative muscle wasting.

No direct contraindications. In fact, combining omega-3 rich supplements with NSAIDs can have additive benefits in lowering inflammatory mediators (including IL-1, TNF-α).

In Cushingoid patients, additional antioxidants may help offset some oxidative sequelae of chronic steroid use.

Not necessarily. However, for arthritic or advanced cases, some clinicians choose to double the dose for the first 2–4 weeks to rapidly achieve tissue-level EPA/DHA saturation, then taper to maintenance.

Introduction over 3–5 days is still advisable, especially in sensitive patients.

Loose stools are uncommon but can occur if introduced abruptly.

Yes.

The controlled omega-6 levels and emphasis on EPA/DHA align well with cardiac and early CKD nutritional goals.

Does not add significant phosphorus or sodium load.

If a patient has advanced CKD, monitor for overall dietary fat tolerance.

At standard veterinary dosing, additional omega-3s do not reach thresholds associated with clinically significant platelet inhibition.

Still, exercise standard caution in patients with severe coagulopathies.

While this proprietary blend itself has not undergone specific cognitive trials, the inclusion of EPA, DHA, curcumin, and rosemary extract is well-supported in veterinary and comparative models to help delay progression of canine cognitive dysfunction and support healthy neural phospholipid composition.

Dermatologic & coat benefits: often visible within 2–4 weeks.

Mobility or discomfort: expect 4–8 weeks of continuous use for maximal benefit.

Cognitive or general vitality:2–3 months, paralleling membrane incorporation of long-chain PUFAs.

Yes. Small Animal Blend Senior is designed for continuous daily use throughout the senior years. The antioxidant fortification helps offset lipid oxidation concerns often raised with prolonged omega therapy.

While generally well-tolerated, any dietary fat increase should be considered carefully in patients with recent or poorly controlled pancreatitis. For stable chronic cases, many clinicians incorporate omega supplements without issue, but recommend monitoring stool quality and appetite.

For patients with more advanced OA, consider combining with for enhanced gut-safe inflammatory support.

For dermatologic cases, can be used alongside Purdy Ointment, Activating Wound Ointment for external skin reinforcement.

Always follow label weight tiers; can adjust slightly based on individual metabolic needs.

No loading required, but accelerated start may be elected at your discretion.
