Omega Fatty Acids

Question:
Is it ok to give my pet human grade omega fatty acids?  Will it help their heart health, skin and coat? How do you determine amount?

Answer:
I would suggest giving a product designed specifically for pets.  The ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids is more appropriate and often times they are more palatable.  Omega fatty acids have a number of benefits including helping skin conditions and kidney disease, acting as an anti-inflammatory.
