Fish oil allergies are rare, as most food allergies in dogs are caused by proteins, not fats like oils. If your dog shows symptoms such as itching or a rash, these might be signs of a sensitivity to the oil or another ingredient, rather than a true allergy. Be sure to check the label for any ingredients your dog has known sensitivities to.
For sensitive dogs, it can help to start with a smaller dose and gradually increase it to monitor their response. Soft chews can be easily broken into smaller pieces. If symptoms are mild, you can adjust the serving size to see if your dog’s system adapts. However, if symptoms persist, it’s a good idea to contact your veterinarian or Bernie’s customer service for further advice. We also offer a free flavor or product swap to help find the best option for your dog.
