My cats are shedding a lot of hair and I was thinking of starting to give them cod liver oil. But I searched about it and found out that I can’t give them the regular ones that we as humans take. Is there a specific good one for cats?

Cod liver oil contains a large proportion of vitamins and minerals which can be difficult to adjust in small dosages. A blended omega fatty acid supplement formulated specifically for cats is preferred such as viacutan, omega aid or vitacat. Other options are specialist skin diets such as hills or royal canin which are additionally supplemented with natural antiinflammatory and coat conditioning ingredients
