Catoils Vital is a uniquely formulated oil which contributes to the good overall health of your cat!Until recently, fats had a bad reputation. To keep your cat healthy, it was therefore recommended that its fat intake be reduced. Recent studies have called for an adjustment to this recommendation. Although excessive fat consumption can be harmful, recent research has shown that for a healthy balance "good fats" are essential to a proper diet, for both animals and humans. Among those "good fats" are Omega-3 and Omega-6.Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of EPA and DHA are essential for a healthy balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6. Because many cat and dog foods have a high Omega-6 content, the essential fatty acid Omega-3 (which cats and dogs are not capable of producing) must be added in to the food manually.Catoils Vital for cats is a concentrated fish oil containing EPA/DHA. This product is specially developed for overall good condition, healthy skin and coat and healthy joints in cats.
