Immune Support for Cats

Having a cat can be one of life’s great pleasures. Whether your cat is playful, cuddly, or mischievous, you certainly want the best for them. One of the best ways to care for your cat is by helping them boost their immune system. While there are many ways to treat the symptoms after they arise, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by being proactive about finding immune support for cats. Preventing illnesses before they start can improve your cat’s quality of life and your experience as a cat owner.

SeaPet offers omega-3 fish oil supplements as wide-ranging cat immune system boosters. Omega-3 oils provide-wide ranging benefits that can improve a number of health outcomes for cats of all ages. These carefully selected and thoroughly tested oils can provide all-natural immune support for your cat’s coat and skin health, cognitive functioning, and cat immune support.

What are omega-3 fish oils?

Packed with vital nutrients, omega-3 fish oils are something of a workhorse supplement for a variety of animals, from cats and dogs to horses and humans (of course, always use an animal-safe supplement with your cat). Omega-3s are fatty acids that are essential for a healthy cat. Cats do not produce these fatty acids themselves, however; they must come from their diet. Two of the most valuable compounds found in these fatty acids are EPA and DHA. EPA has anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit your cat’s joints, skin, and coat. DHA has a number of beneficial effects on brain function as well as on the immune system. DHA is what may make omega-3 fish oils effective in dealing with dementia, brain development, and illnesses.

Are these cat immune boosters safe?

Omega-3 fish oils are completely safe for cats to take. The fatty acids are most commonly harvested from fish, like anchovies or sardines. As naturally-occurring substances, they are an essential part of your cat’s immune support and health. Of course, as with any supplement, the question is not just whether a substance itself is safe, but whether a particular product from a specific company is safe. In that case, your concern should be how reliable a company is and how careful they are in the production of their oils.

SeaPet strives to provide the highest-quality pet supplements. We thoroughly test all of our omega-3 fish oils to a higher standard than is required by all national and international bodies. We molecularly distill and cold-process these oils to produce the purest oils. In other oils, you might find toxins, such as heavy metals, PCBs, dioxin, or other substances. We carefully test for each of these substances to ensure that your cat gets only what the container says: Omega-3 fish oils.

At normal doses, there are nearly no side effects to omega-3 fish oils because they are a standard nutrient that all cats require. Omega-3 fish oils from SeaPet should be taken in doses of 1-4 teaspoons a day, depending on the size of your cat. If they take significantly more than the recommended dose, they might experience side effects like bloating, fishy breath, or diarrhea, but no major health risks.

How can omega-3 fish oils support my cat’s immune system?

There are a few ways that omega-3 fish oils can provide cat immune support. The most basic is by improving the actual functioning of your cat’s immune system. In addition to reducing inflammation, which can help your cat’s immune system run more smoothly, EPA and DHA are able to improve the ability of important cells to protect the body from disease. This sort of foundational support for your cat’s immune system can help them avoid illnesses and recover from them more quickly.

What kinds of fish oils are available?

SeaPet offers several kinds of omega-3 fish oils that can act as an immune system booster for your cat. Several of the products we offer are listed for dogs but can be used just as safely for your cat. Be sure to check the dosage information and consult with your cat’s veterinarian before starting any cat immune support supplement.

The base level is Omega Pure. This oil is comprised of cold-processed fish oil from anchovies and sardines. This oil naturally contains 1000 ppm of vitamin E in addition to DHA and EPA. Vitamin E is an essential component of your cat’s immune system, and it can work in concert with DHA and EPA to keep your cat healthy. There is 540 mg of DHA in each teaspoon, along with 810 mg of EPA. For a slightly different option, you could consider Omega Plus fish oil. Made to the same standards as Omega Pure, this oil has an increased dose of vitamin E to supplement 775 mg of EPA and 520 mg of DHA for increased cat immune support.

Omega Fusion is a versatile oil that includes added vitamins A, D, and E to support a wider range of pet needs. Per teaspoon, it provides 2,500 IUs of vitamin A, 250 IUs of vitamin D, and 200 IUs of natural vitamin E. Vitamin A can support healthy vision for your cat, as well as assist in healing from injuries. Vitamin D supports the absorption of calcium, which can help your cat maintain strong bones. Along with 600 mg of EPA and 460 mg of DHA, this robust oil can offer effective cat immune support as well as improve their coat, metabolism, and teeth.

For our most robust omega-3 fish oil offering, consider Omega Max. Similar to Omega Pure, it is simply cold-processed oils from anchovies and sardines, but in greater concentrations. It has 950 mg of DHA in each teaspoon and 1,425 mg of EPA per dose. Depending on your needs for a cat immune support supplement, you can choose the oil that is best. All of these oils can easily be added to their food to provide your cat with additional immune support.
