Like humans, pets can become deficient in omega-3 fatty acids if they don’t consume enough in the diet. Dr. Gaylord discusses the effects of deficiency in dogs and cats, including relative deficiency and the optimal ratio of omegas. Additionally, omega levels may be influenced by fatty acid conversion variations in dogs and cats.

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids comes with a variety of health benefits for dogs and cats. Dr. Gaylord describes why pets need omega-3 supplementation, potential adverse effects to consider, and why quality matters when it comes to omega-3 fatty acids (and all) nutritional supplementation.
