Can I give my dog Omega 3 and Fortiflora supplements together?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I love Omega 3 fish oils is a great supplement for all dogs. It helps with the joints, skin and almost every bodily function. I prefer Nordic Naturals or VRS Omega Benefits but this product looks fine. https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/

Fish oil does tend to make the coat shinier and nicer looking, which will likely be the most obvious benefit you get from supplementing. Fish oil does have antiinflamatory properties that may be helpful with the itching, but I wouldn't expect a drastic change. There has been a great deal of debate about ratios of Omega 6 vs 3, but honestly, the debate is not over, so the 4:1 ratio should be fine. I would just make sure that the omega 3 fatty acids do not get above 1mg per kg of body weight, or you could be giving above the safe upper limit. Probiotics are another supplement that are not bad to give, but is not necessary for a healthy animal. I usually only advise probiotic supplementation for intestinal conditions where there has been some good evidence for its use. Probiotics are also an unregulated product, so depending on the product, it may or may not be have what it claims; or may not have the bacteria that are known to be beneficial. For this reason, I only recommend getting probiotics as directed by your veterinarian. I hope that helps and all is well with Chloe.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Omega 3 supplements are great doe many conditions. I am not sure why Lily is on steroids. There is no interactions that you need to worry about with prednisone. I like Nordic Naturals or VRS Omega Benefits. https://www.vrshealth.com/feline-products/omegacat/ I hope this helps and i wish Lily the best!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, it is perfectly fine to give Biscuit her usual monthly Heartgard dose. This should not have any effect on the other medications she is taking. I hope this is helpful!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You should chose Omega-3 product made by a reputable manufacturer. I can recommend Omega-3 Tri-V by Henry Schein, Triglyceride Omega by Vetoquinol or Omega-3 by Bayer

The vast majority of joint supplements will have no negative effects on your dog's allergy condition, most of these supplements are pretty similar as well so you can buy the most convenient for you to find in your local pet store.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Anti-inflammatories need to be prescribed by your vet. But I highly recommend starting an Omega 3 fish oil which is a natural anti-inflammatory. I like Nordic Naturals or VRS Omega Benefits. Also I prefer veterinary glucomamines like Dasuquin or Glycoflex.
