One of the best supplements you can add to your dog’s diet is fish oil. Fish oil is good for heart health, supports a healthy coat, lessens flaky and itchy skin, and can help relieve allergies and joint pain.
Most dogs who eat a commercial diet like canned pet food can have an imbalance of omega nutrients. And since dogs cannot make their own omega 3 fatty acids because they are physiologically unable to, they can be deficient in minerals they need to stay healthy.
With all the benefits of an omega-3 supplement, you can agree that your dog needs this type of vitamin. Though fish oils are generally very safe, side effects are occurring particularly at high doses. This may include diarrhea, vomiting, delayed wound healing, sleepiness, a fishy odor to the breath or skin, and increased itchiness. If you notice your dog is showing unusual behavior, you can seek medical assistance from your vet.
Do visit your animal hospital Cy-Fair before starting your pet on any supplement.
