Gomega for Cats is a concentrated source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) designed to be added to a cat’s normal diet. Omega-3 EFAs are fats that the body uses for healthy skin, coat quality, and normal inflammatory balance. Cats cannot make enough Omega-3 on their own, so they need a dependable dietary source.

Gomega for Cats is based on fish oils, which naturally provide EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These forms are useful because cats have a limited ability to convert plant-based Omega-3 (such as ALA from flax) into EPA and DHA. A fish-oil source supplies these fatty acids in a form the body can use directly.

Omega-3 works by supporting cell membranes and signalling. After the oil is eaten, EPA and DHA are absorbed in the small intestine and carried in the bloodstream to tissues around the body. They become part of cell membranes, which are the outer layers of every cell. When Omega-3 levels in membranes are higher, cells can produce a different balance of signalling molecules involved in inflammation. This is one reason Omega-3 supplementation is often used to support comfort, mobility, and skin health.

Description

Gomega for cats also supports the skin barrier. The outer layer of the skin contains lipids that help retain moisture and reduce irritation from the environment. A consistent intake of EPA and DHA can help the skin maintain a healthier balance of moisture and oils, which can improve coat feel and reduce the appearance of dryness. Skin health depends on an intact barrier that retains moisture and protects against everyday irritants. Fats form part of the skin’s protective lipid layers, and omega 3 EFAs help support that structure. With consistent intake, Gomega supplementation can help reduce excessive dryness and flaking and may improve coat softness and shine. These changes are gradual because the skin renews over time and new hair growth takes weeks.

Gomega can support skin and coat condition. They are commonly used for cats with dry or flaky skin, a dull coat, or seasonal itching. They can help maintain normal skin hydration and can support a smoother, glossier coat when used consistently. Some owners also use Omega-3 as part of a wider plan for cats prone to recurrent skin complaints, alongside appropriate parasite control and grooming.

Most cats tolerate Gomega well when used as directed. The most common side effects are digestive, such as softer stools or occasional vomiting, particularly if the dose is increased too quickly. Omega oils add calories, which can matter for cats on weight management plans. Cats with a history of pancreatitis, bleeding disorders, or cats taking medicines that affect clotting should only use omega 3 supplements under veterinary direction. Veterinary advice is also important before use in pregnant or nursing queens, or before any planned surgery.

What are omega 3 essential fatty acids for cats?
Omega 3 essential fatty acids are dietary fats that support normal body function. In cats, the most useful omega 3s are EPA and DHA, which are commonly sourced from marine oils. They contribute to healthy cell membranes and help support a balanced inflammatory response in skin and joints.

How long does it take to see results from Gomega?
Omega 3s work by becoming part of cell membranes over time, so changes are not immediate. Coat condition is often reassessed after four to eight weeks of daily use, because skin turnover and hair growth take time. Mobility support can take a similar period and may be subtle.

Can omega 3 supplements help with dry, flaky skin in cats?
Omega 3s support the skin’s lipid layers, which help retain moisture and maintain the barrier against irritants. When used consistently, supplements can help reduce excessive dryness and flaking and may improve coat softness and shine. Results are gradual and are usually judged over several weeks.

Can Gomega support joint comfort in older cats?
Omega 3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, are commonly used in joint support plans because they influence inflammatory signalling. Older cats may show stiffness as reduced jumping or less play rather than obvious limping. Omega 3s do not rebuild damaged cartilage, but they can support comfort alongside weight control and veterinary care.

Do omega 3 supplements help cats with allergies or itching?
Omega 3s can support a balanced inflammatory response and may help some cats with seasonal sensitivity or mild, recurring irritation. However, itching has many causes, including fleas, mites, infections and food reactions. Persistent itching, hair loss or sore skin should be assessed by a vet rather than managed with supplements alone.
