How to Use Cat Fish Oil Dosage Calculator

The Cat Fish Oil Dosage Calculator helps you translate mg/kg targets into capsules, mL or pumps.

  1. Enter weight and product form — Liquid is easier to dose accurately than capsules.
  2. Type EPA & DHA per unit — Common cat-targeted oils: 100 mg EPA + 70 mg DHA per pump.
  3. Start with the low dose — Increase only after 1–2 weeks if stools remain firm.
  4. Store in the fridge — Light and heat oxidise omega-3 quickly — keep refrigerated and use within 60 days.

Formula & Theory — Cat Fish Oil Dosage Calculator

Targets are expressed as combined EPA+DHA per kilogram:

target_mg = mg_per_kg × weight_kg
units_per_day = target_mg ÷ (EPA_per_unit + DHA_per_unit)
# typical: low 30 mg/kg, standard 60 mg/kg, high 90 mg/kg

Can my cat get fish oil from food?

Many therapeutic kidney diets include omega-3. Check the label before adding extra supplementation.
