What fish oil supplements are best for my cat's dry skin and dandruff?

Question

Zoey has some dry skin causing dandruff, last time I took her to the vet the vet suggested incorporating fish oil into her diet but to be sure it was specifically for cats. Are there any recommend brands of fish oil for cats or specific fish? Just trying to find the best for her. Thanks! Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | spayed | 8 years and 9 months old

Hmmm. Not sure the train of thought your vet was on. I commonly recommend fish oils, any fish oil supplement will work. There is no specific amount, though the biggest side effect is greasy stools. If you notice that, then you decrease the dose. It can take several months for you to see a change after starting fish oils. You can find a pet product at a pet store, or just use one from the human supplements section of a pharmacy or other store.
