Virgin Evening Primrose Oil is free from additives and contains valuable unsaturated fatty acids.

Evening primrose oil for dogs
A balanced diet is not only important for humans, but also for dogs. Oils such as hemp oil, evening primrose oil, black cumin oil and flaxseed oil can be a healthy supplement for dogs.
From puppyhood to old age, evening primrose oil can support your dog's vitality. A puppy can be fed about 1ml of evening primrose oil per kg of body weight mixed with its food, as the unsaturated fatty acids in evening primrose oil can have a positive effect on the development of a young dog's immune system. Adult dogs under 5kg are given about 5ml per day. Larger dogs, over 5 kg, can be given 10 ml of evening primrose oil. You can use a teaspoon as a measure for dosing; a full teaspoon is about 5ml of evening primrose oil.
Evening primrose oil for barfing
The term "BARF" or "Barfen" stands for "Bones and Raw Food". Barfen is a type of feeding for carnivorous animals. It refers to the raw feeding of carnivorous animals such as dogs and cats. The main ingredients in barfing are meat, bones and offal. Small amounts of fruit and vegetables are also fed. As with eating in the wild, all ingredients are fed raw. Raw feeding increases the dog's or cat's intake of omega-6 fatty acids, so omega-3 fatty acids in particular should be supplemented.
However, evening primrose oil can be fed as a healthy supplement to dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, not only when baiting, but also when feeding appropriate dry and wet foods.
Evening primrose oil for cats
Evening primrose oil can also be added to the diet of cats. Your velvet paw will benefit from the polyunsaturated fatty acids. The skin, coat and immune system can be supported by feeding evening primrose oil regularly. The annual grooming process is particularly tedious for cats with longer coats. In addition to regular brushing, the addition of evening primrose oil can help. Oils stimulate hair growth and can be particularly beneficial for dull coats and dry skin.
In nature, a cat's diet consists of small mammals such as mice, birds and insects. These prey animals also provide the cat with a small amount of vegetarian food found in the stomach contents of the prey. Like dogs, cats can be fed an oil when they vomit. The revitalising effects of hemp oil, linseed oil or evening primrose oil are a valuable addition to dry or wet kibble.
From about 3 months of age, cats can be fed about 1 ml of hemp oil per kg of body weight 3-4 times a week. An adult cat weighing 5 kg would therefore be given a teaspoon of hemp oil several times a week. Caution: Black seed oil and pellets are poisonous to cats because, unlike horses and dogs, they cannot break down the bitter constituents completely.
Evening primrose oil for horses
Horses with sensitive skin can benefit from feeding evening primrose oil. The skin becomes more elastic and dry patches can be reduced. Feeding valuable evening primrose oil has been shown to be particularly effective in supporting coat change in spring or autumn.
The oil is naturally high in calories, making it an ideal supplement for horses that eat a lot. The essential fatty acids in evening primrose oil can have a positive effect on the horse's metabolic processes and coat change in the event of feed-related deficiencies. At the same time, regular feeding can help maintain a shiny coat. In winter, evening primrose oil can help the horse to use less of its own fat reserves and thus maintain its body temperature better. Evening primrose oil can strengthen the horse's immune system. In addition, the high mucilage content stimulates intestinal activity and can help prevent colic.
Try our pellets too, such as linseed press cake, which is produced when brown linseed is processed into linseed oil. The pellets, which are also available in black cumin, milk thistle and night candle varieties, are a high quality feed for horses.
Feeding recommendation
- 5 ml for dogs under 5 kg

Evening primrose oil is most readily accepted when added to or mixed with the feed. Experience has shown that evening primrose oil is well tolerated by dogs and horses.
