Why is omega 3 vital for cats?
Healthy skin: omega 3 fatty acids are an excellent choice for cats with allergies, dry skin or inflammation. Regular consumption contributes to shiny hair and less hair loss.
Shiny coat and less shedding: because fatty acids are just that - fats - they help your cat produce a fuller, shinier coat. Omega 3s also improve the overall health of hair follicles, which can reduce the amount of hair loss. This has an additional benefit for cats, as less shedding during grooming means less clumps.
Joint maintenance: Omega 3s reduce the possibility of inflammation in the joints, which can be a problem in older cats suffering from arthritis. One study in particular found that cats given daily doses of fish oil were better at mobility, including jumping and climbing stairs, than those given corn oil without omega 3.
