Fish oil may support skin, coat, and joint health when the dose matches the pet. Excessive amounts may cause vomiting, diarrhea, or greasy stool. Use measured, pet-formulated products and follow veterinary dosing guidance.
Fish oil is a concentrated fat from oily fish such as salmon, anchovy, sardine, or menhaden, sold as liquids, pump bottles, capsules, and soft chews.
Used in pet supplements and some human nutrition products. Liquid oils are poured over food; capsules are punctured or swallowed whole.
Oxidized oil may smell rancid — a sign to discard and replace. Products vary widely in concentration and may include mixed oils, flavoring, or added vitamins. Human formulas are not always ideal for pets because strength and additives can differ.
