VFCore SK — Triple Omega 3.6.9 Skin & Coat Supplement for Cats | 12g Lickable Sachet

VFCore SK — Triple Omega 3.6.9 Skin & Coat Supplement for Dogs & Cats

Skin disease is the single most common reason pets are taken to the vet — and it is also the most frustrating to manage. Allergies, atopic dermatitis, dry flaky coats, dull lifeless fur, recurring hot spots, and constant scratching often persist for years despite repeated rounds of antihistamines, steroids, antibiotics, and medicated shampoos. The reason is simple: most treatments suppress symptoms but don't fix the underlying problem. The skin is your pet's largest organ, and when its barrier is broken, allergens, bacteria, and irritants get in — driving the inflammation cycle that causes the itching, redness, and coat damage you can see.

VFCore SK is built to repair that barrier from the inside, using all three essential omega fatty acid families from natural, high-quality sources.

Marine Oil at 1000mg per sachet, delivering 300mg of EPA + DHA omega-3, is the anti-inflammatory engine of the formula. EPA and DHA inhibit the COX and LOX enzymes that produce inflammatory eicosanoids in the skin — meaning less inflammation, less histamine release, and less itching from within. The dose matches AVMA-published dosing for canine atopy and immunologic skin disease. Most supermarket fish oil capsules are dosed too low to make a clinical difference. VFCore SK is built to clinical specifications.

Sunflower Oil provides omega-6 linoleic acid — the direct lipid building block of the stratum corneum, the outermost protective layer of skin. Without sufficient linoleic acid, the skin barrier becomes leaky, dry, and prone to allergen penetration. Omega-6 is the structural side; omega-3 is the inflammation side. Most pet skin supplements include only omega-3, which is why pets often improve in inflammation but stay dry and flaky. VFCore SK includes both — addressing both halves of the skin disease problem.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds omega-9 plus the natural antioxidants found only in cold-extracted olive oil — polyphenols and squalene that protect skin lipids from oxidation and support skin hydration.

The formula is reinforced with Biotin 25mg for hair growth and shaft strength, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate 85mg for skin integrity and wound healing, Vitamin A for skin cell turnover, Vitamin E 30mg as a fat-soluble antioxidant, Vitamin B6 for skin metabolism, and DL-Methionine as a sulphur amino acid critical for keratin and coat structure.

The clinical evidence is strong. A randomised, controlled study by Sævik et al on canine atopic dermatitis showed that dogs supplemented with essential fatty acids for 84 days were able to reduce their steroid dose by 45–50% while maintaining the same level of skin disease control as dogs on the full steroid dose alone. For pet parents worried about long-term steroid effects — weight gain, immune suppression, behaviour changes, organ effects — this is meaningful. VFCore SK consistently allows safer, lower long-term steroid dosing.

The lickable paste format is a major upgrade over fish oil capsules and pump bottles. Capsules are hard to give and often refused; pump bottles oxidise quickly once opened and create messy, fishy-smelling kitchens. The single-dose sachet protects oil quality until the moment of use, the high palatability ensures the pet actually consumes it, and the precise dosing eliminates the guesswork.

VFCore SK is appropriate for skin allergies and atopic dermatitis, dull or flaky coat, seborrhea, post-illness coat restoration, pets on long-term steroid therapy where dose-reduction is a goal, and as a daily wellness supplement for breeds prone to skin issues (Labradors, Bulldogs, Goldens, Frenchies, Persians).

Pair with VFCore BIO if gut-driven skin disease is suspected, or with VFCore Feline Vitality for overall daily nutrition support in cats.

Storage Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat — fish oils are heat-sensitive
• Do not refrigerate unopened sachets
• Once opened, use immediately — omega oils oxidise rapidly once exposed to air
• Keep out of reach of children
• Check expiry date before use
• Tamper-evident sachet — do not use if seal is broken or damaged
• If sachet smells strongly rancid beyond normal fish oil aroma, do not use
