Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)

descriptionWhat It Does

The single most impactful supplement for coat quality and joint health. EPA reduces inflammation in joints and skin — veterinary studies show pets on omega-3 have a 30% reduction in itch-related behavior from allergies. DHA supports brain development in puppies and cognitive function in seniors.

visibilityWhat You’ll Notice

A shiny, colorful, vibrant coat is the most visible sign of good omega-3 levels. Shedding decreases, dandruff disappears, and the fur feels silky. Arthritic dogs move more freely, and allergic pets scratch less. For cats, omega-3 produces natural oils that reduce dryness and give fur a glossy finish.

restaurantSources & Notes

Fish oil (best), algae, flaxseed. Important: cats are obligate carnivores and cannot convert plant-based ALA to DHA — they need fish-sourced omega-3 only. The AVMA recommends adding omega-3 to every pet's diet.
