Pro Tips
Consult Vet: Always discuss supplementation with your veterinarian first.
Gradual Intro: Start with a half dose for 3-5 days to avoid digestive upset.

Quality Maters: Use high-quality, molecularly distilled oils free from heavy metals.

Fun Facts
"Cats cannot produce their own Omega-3s, so they must get them from their diet."
"Plant-based Omega-3s (like flaxseed) are poorly absorbed by cats; marine sources are superior."
"Omega-3s can help reduce shedding and prevent hairballs by improving coat health."
"Always store fish oil in the fridge—it goes rancid quickly at room temperature."
Formula: Dose (units) = (Weight × Target mg/kg) / (EPA + DHA per unit)
