Essential Fatty Acids

Essential fatty acids are supplements that help reduce inflammation and improve skin, coat, and joint health. * **Administration:** Give with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset and improve absorption. * **Patience is key:** It can take 4 to 8 weeks of consistent daily use to see noticeable improvements in skin or joint conditions. > **Note:** Store liquid formulations in the refrigerator to prevent them from going rancid. If the product smells unusually "fishy" or bad, discard it. * Watch for signs of diarrhea or vomiting, and contact your veterinarian if these occur.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
