Omega-3 Index – Dogs & Cats
$215 AUD
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for reducing inflammation, supporting skin and coat quality, joint mobility, brain function and immune health. Low omega-3 levels are common, even in pets on premium diets, due to insufficient fish content or unstable oils.
For pets needing targeted inflammation and wellness support
The Omega-3 Index is widely used in human health to evaluate long-term omega-3 intake. By looking at red blood cell membranes rather than recent dietary intake, this test provides a stable marker of your pet’s omega-3 status. It helps determine whether supplementation is needed and can be repeated to track improvement over time.
Omega-3 deficiency is linked to higher levels of inflammation, poorer skin and coat health, reduced cognitive resilience and joint stiffness. Knowing your pet’s Omega-3 Index provides a clear starting point for adjusting diet or supplements to achieve optimal levels.
This screen is ideal for:
- Pets with arthritis, joint or mobility concerns
- Pets with itchy or inflamed skin
- Older pets needing brain, heart or immune support
- Pets on low-fish or plant-based diets
- Pet parents wanting data to guide supplement use
