Is fish oil good for dogs?

For many dogs, fish oil is a beneficial supplement to their health. The omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil helps with inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, allergies, kidney disease, heart disease and cancer.

Too much fish oil can lead to gastrointestinal issues. Fish oil is a good supplement in a dog's diet, but any dog suffering from an inflammatory disease needs regular examinations by a veterinarian in case a stronger medication or supplement is needed for its well-being.
