📖 How It Works

Fish Oil for Dogs Explained

The maintenance dose is approximately 20mg of combined EPA+DHA per kg of body weight daily. Always check EPA+DHA on the label not just total fish oil. A 1000mg capsule typically contains only ~300mg EPA+DHA.

🔎 Label Tip

"1000mg omega-3" is NOT "1000mg EPA+DHA". Add EPA and DHA separately from the supplement facts panel.
