Cod liver oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and D, which can support coat health, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive function.
Risks
Overconsumption of cod liver oil can lead to vitamin A toxicity, causing symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, and bone abnormalities.
Additionally, it can cause gastrointestinal upset and some cats may have an allergic reaction.
Suggestions
Introduce cod liver oil to your cat’s diet in small amounts and gradually increase the dosage over time.
Always consult with your veterinarian before adding any supplements to your cat’s diet to ensure it is appropriate for their specific health needs.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
