Health & WellbeingWhat's the best omega 3 dose and fish oil for my cat battling cancer?
No studies have been done comparing the different potential sources to the best of my knowledge,. Rather the research has been approached as looking at fish oil as a whole. I suspect the salmon or cod are the best sources since they are more similar to mammals which generally means they are broken down easier. There are a few things to know and consider before starting this type of supplement. Heavy metals and other toxins, as well as contaminates, are not uncommon so I recommend to speak with your veterinarian about a recommendation that is not only purified but also verified to be free of contaminants. Here are some helpful links: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/fish-oil https://www.petcoach.co/article/omega-fatty-acids-sources-effects-therapeutic-uses-in-cats/ Dosage varies based upon the product and instructions will be on the package (it will be based on weight). Your veterinarian can help you to determine an appropriate dose. Best of luck.
