Most of the benefit attributed to fish oil comes from EPA and DHA specifically, and a great many products are sold on total fish oil content while delivering comparatively little of either. At 3,000 mg of marine lipid concentrate per teaspoon supplying 900 mg of combined EPA and DHA, this is a potent formula, which also means a smaller volume for the same effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree additions make it more than plain oil. Vitamin E at 45 IU per teaspoon protects the fatty acids from oxidation, which matters because rancid fish oil is both unpalatable and counterproductive. Rosemary extract serves as a second natural antioxidant. Lecithin from sunflower supplies phosphatidylcholine, which aids emulsification, and zinc and biotin are both directly involved in skin and coat health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFatty acids are used most often for skin and coat, and are also commonly given for joint comfort in older animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eActive Ingredients Per Teaspoon\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarine lipid concentrate, 3,000 mg, supplying EPA 540 mg and DHA 360 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLecithin (from sunflower), 300 mg, supplying phosphatidylcholine 100 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin E (tocopherol acetate), 45 IU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc gluconate, 2.3 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosemary extract (antioxidant and preservative), 2.3 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiotin, 23 mcg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: sunflower oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake well before each use. The label directs 1\/4 teaspoon per 15 lbs of body weight, twice daily. As the label's own example puts it, a 30 lb animal gets 1\/2 teaspoon twice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour it over food. Most dogs and cats take it readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it time. Skin and coat changes follow the growth of new hair, so judge the result after six to eight weeks of daily use rather than after a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore it in a cool dark place. Fish oils oxidize with heat and light, and a bottle that smells off should be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dogs and cats. Contains fish. Available in 8 fl oz (236 mL) and 16 fl oz (472 mL). This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMention it before surgery, since omega 3s at higher doses are commonly noted for an effect on clotting. Fatty acids are also calorie dense, which is worth accounting for in a pet being kept to a weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety in pregnant or breeding animals has not been proven. Keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTalk to your veterinarian\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItching that is intense, seasonal, or comes with hair loss, scabs or ear trouble is usually driven by something specific like allergies or parasites, and fatty acids work better supporting that treatment than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rx Vitamins","offers":[{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":52998416302311,"sku":"M-126814","price":31.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 oz","offer_id":52998416335079,"sku":"M-124319","price":53.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7053\/6935\/files\/uefa.webp?v=1793916540","url":"https:\/\/petrx.com\/products\/ultra-efa-liquid-for-dogs-and-cats","provider":"PETRX.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
