Pet cats can eat fish oil. Fish oil is an unsaturated fat extracted from fish, which is good for keeping blood flowing smoothly, but it can only be given in small amounts. Taking too much may cause blood to be difficult to clot and increase the risk of bleeding. It is not recommended to feed fish oil to cats alone, because fish oil contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids and is prone to peroxidation, so it can be fed together with vitamin E.
Precautions for pet cats taking fish oil:
1. Cats can be fed fish oil 2-3 times a week, or every day. There is no need to eat too much.
2. It is recommended not to feed fish oil alone. Fish oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and is prone to peroxidation.
3. It can be used in conjunction with vitamin E, otherwise it will increase the risk of cat inflammation.
4. You need to wait until the kitten’s gastrointestinal development is fully developed and can accept fish oil before giving it to it, about five months later.
5. When feeding fish oil to cats, do not cut the capsules and pour them directly into the cat’s mouth, or feed them with a syringe, as this can easily cause aspiration pneumonia.
