Krill Oil vs. Fish Oil: Which Omega-3 is Best for Your Pet?
Why Choose Krill Oil Over Fish Oil for Your Pet?
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for your pet’s health, but not all sources are equal. Tri-KRILL™ from NWC Naturals® offers a superior alternative to fish oil, delivering four times the potency and unique benefits like high levels of astaxanthin. Sourced from wild-caught Antarctic krill, Tri-KRILL™ combines phospholipids, omega-3s, and antioxidants for maximum health support.
The Problem with Excess Omega-6 in Pet Diets
Modern pet foods often contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids due to grain-fed cattle, leading to an imbalance that can cause inflammation and health issues. Supplementing with omega-3s helps restore balance, and krill oil outperforms fish oil in efficacy and safety.
Benefits of Tri-KRILL™ for Pets
- Powerful Antioxidant Formula: Contains 12mg of AstaREAL® astaxanthin per serving, 24 times more than salmon, for unmatched free radical protection.
- Higher Potency: Four times more effective than fish oil, requiring smaller doses for greater benefits.
- Enhanced Absorption: Krill oil’s phospholipid form delivers highly bioavailable EPA and DHA, supporting cognitive function, joint health, and inflammation response.
- Mercury-Free: No risk of heavy metal contamination, unlike some fish oils.
- No Fishy Breath: Easy-to-use gel capsules or airless pump ensure a pleasant experience for pets.
- Long-Lasting Supply: One bottle provides an 8-month supply for a 20-pound pet.
- Natural Krill Taste: Pets love the flavor, making supplementation easy.
Note: Avoid krill oil for pets with seafood allergies. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns.

What is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid antioxidant, gives krill and salmon their reddish color. Found in phytoplankton, krill’s primary food source, it’s amplified in Tri-KRILL™ with AstaREAL® astaxanthin—20x stronger than natural krill levels. Benefits include:
- Fights free radicals
- Supports joint flexibility and normal inflammatory response
- Boosts immune system health
Unlike fish oil, which rarely contains astaxanthin (except in salmon), krill oil provides this added nutritional edge.
