Not all seafood is safe for our furkiddos, but some are extremely beneficial, like cod, sardines, and anchovies for dogs as well as cats. Fish like these are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help improve skin, coat, joint health, and more. Let’s take a closer look at how NHV uses these nutritious ingredients to help promote your little one’s overall health.

Discover the Benefits of Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats

Most processed pet foods have higher levels of omega-6 than omega-3, which can lead to an imbalance.

A balanced diet will ensure your little one has all the necessary vitamins and nutrients, including healthy unsaturated fats like omega-3 and omega-6. Both play an important role in promoting health and bodily function in our furkiddos, but in truth, most processed pet foods have higher levels of omega-6 than omega-3, which can lead to an imbalance.

Natural omega-3-packed supplements can help ensure that you fill that nutritional void and allow your little one to thrive in many ways, especially in these four main areas:

Skin & Coat: Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining healthy skin and fur in dogs and cats. Supplements like NHV PetOmega can help avoid dryness and dull coats by keeping your pet’s skin moisturized and hydrated from the inside out.

Joint Health: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can help reduce joint inflammation, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.

Cognitive Function: The properties of Omega-3 fatty acids help improve brain health and cognitive function, and they may even help to slow down cognitive decline. 

Heart Function: The DHA and EPA fatty acids present in NHV PetOmega 3 may help decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease, by helping lower blood pressure, and triglyceride levels and preventing blood clots.

Precautions against Fish Oil for Dogs and Cats

While fish oil can provide many benefits for pets, it’s important to take precautions when adding it to their diet. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Quality Matters: Not all fish oil supplements are created equal. Look for high-quality supplements that are made from wild-caught fish and have been purified to remove any toxins.

Dosage: Prefer vet-formulated formulas that can be easily dosed based on your furkiddo’s weight and specific needs.

Source: While fish oil is generally safe for pets, some fish, such as tuna, can contain high levels of mercury. Avoid giving your pet fish oil from an unknown source.

Allergies: If your little one has a known allergic reaction to fish, they shouldn’t take a supplement with fish oils. Opt for other supplements with similar properties like NHV Multi Essentials or NHV Turmeric.

How NHV uses Cod Liver Oil, Sardines, & Anchovies for Dogs & Cats

Our little one’s body lacks the ability to produce fatty acids, so it’s crucial to incorporate them into their diet with the help of omega-packed supplements like our NHV PetOmega 3. The fish oils used in our vet-formulated blend are derived from ethically, wildly caught sardine, anchovy, and North Atlantic cod liver oil. These ingredients were selected by the holistic vet and master herbalist responsible for NHV formulations due to their high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids.

NHV’s fish oil blend is then molecularly distilled and cold pressed to improve the bio-availability of the omega-3 fatty acids, so your little one’s body can absorb all its benefits. Like all our supplements, PetOmega 3 is human-grade and tested for purity & quality by not only us but also a third-party laboratory before it’s ready to reach families like yours.
