Dog Omega-3 Index
$120 AUD
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, play an important role in supporting your dog’s skin, coat, joints and immune health. The Dog Omega-3 Index measures EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes, giving you a longer-term view of your dog’s omega-3 status rather than a snapshot of recent dietary intake.
For dogs who may benefit from a clearer picture of their omega-3 status
The Omega-3 Index is a practical way to assess whether your dog is getting enough of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from their diet or supplements.
Because the test measures omega-3 fatty acids in red blood cell membranes, it reflects your dog’s omega-3 status over approximately the past four months. The result can help guide decisions around diet and supplementation, and can be repeated after changes to track how your dog responds over time.
This test may be useful for:
- Dogs with joint or mobility concerns
- Dogs with skin or coat concerns
- Older dogs where nutritional support is being reviewed
- Dogs eating diets with little fish or marine omega-3
- Dogs already taking omega-3 supplements
- Dog owners wanting data to guide supplement use
What's included
Omega 3 Index
The Omega-3 Index measures the proportion of EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes and expresses the result as a percentage. The laboratory currently uses an optimal range of 3–8% for dogs. Maintaining omega-3 status within this range may help support coat, skin, joint and immune system health as part of an overall balanced diet. Research into the ideal Omega-3 Index for dogs is still developing, so results are best interpreted alongside your dog’s diet, supplements, health needs and veterinary care.
