Is fish oil safe for my cat's dry winter skin and my other cats?

Question

My cat has dry flaky skin. It does this around winter time. Can I give her fish oil and is it safe for the other two also? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 years and 6 months old | 13 lbs

Pet formulated fish oil from your local pet store is perfectly fine and a reasoable treatment for a pet with mild flaky skin. If the skin persists however after aa few weeks, then a vet visit is recommended to look at other possible causes (i.e. skin allergies, mites, lice, etc). Also I would recommend feeding Mouse a high quality cat food such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Evo, or Eukanuba. Best wishes with Mouse and her dry skin, along with feeding this to your two other cats.. Take care.
