General: 75-100 mg EPA+DHA per kg body weight daily
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from marine sources provide anti-inflammatory benefits for dogs. Recommended dose: 75-100 mg combined EPA+DHA per kg body weight for general health, up to 125 mg/kg for arthritis or severe skin conditions. A 50-lb dog needs approximately 1,700-2,800 mg EPA+DHA daily. Look for products listing EPA and DHA content (not just total fish oil — many contain only 30% omega-3). Benefits: reduced joint inflammation, improved coat quality, skin allergy relief, cognitive support in senior dogs, and heart health. Start at half dose for a week to avoid GI upset. Quality matters — choose purified, heavy-metal-tested products.
