What Is Fish Oil for Cats?
Fish oil supplements, whether for humans, cats, or other pets, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help structure cell membranes and provide energy. Omega 3 fish oil for cats, including SeaPet’s Omega Pure Fish Oil for Cats, includes fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own. The only way to obtain these important nutrients is to ingest them.
Fish oil for cats include two types of fatty acids: EPA (eicosapentaenoic) and DHA (docosahexaenoic). These are generally found in coldwater fish like trout, tuna, and salmon. The concentration in SeaPet’s Omega Pure Fish Oil for Cats is designed to provide more of these healthy fatty acids than, for example, salmon oil alone.
Is Fish Oil Good For Cats?

What’s a Good Fish Oil Dose for Cats?
Assuming your cat weighs 15 pounds or less, we recommend that you start them on ½ teaspoon of Omega Pure Fish Oil for Cats per day. You can just squirt it right on their food. After you start seeing positive effects, which take about two to three weeks, you can lower the dose to ¼ teaspoon per day. If you have a larger cat, you can increase the dose to 1 teaspoon to begin with, and ½ teaspoon for maintenance.
Whether you’re looking to improve your feline friend’s overall health or you want to focus on certain health conditions, fish oil is an excellent way to supplement your cat’s health regimen.
