General: 30-50 mg EPA+DHA per kg body weight daily
Consult your vet before supplementing.
Fish oil provides EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids that benefit cats' skin, coat, joints, kidneys, and heart. The recommended dose is 30-50 mg combined EPA+DHA per kg body weight daily for general health, up to 75 mg/kg for therapeutic use. Use marine-sourced fish oil (salmon, anchovy, sardine) — NOT cod liver oil (too much vitamin A/D). Avoid fish oil with added flavors, sweeteners, or xylitol. Start with a low dose and increase gradually over 2 weeks to avoid GI upset. Store in the refrigerator after opening. Benefits may take 4-6 weeks to become visible. Fish oil can increase bleeding time — discontinue 5-7 days before surgery.
