Description
Carolina Barroso, Antonio Fonseca, and Ana Cabrita review in 2026 whether fat supplements from fish and other sources can lift the immune health of dogs. The fats in view are the omega families found in fish oil, and they shape how the body makes swelling signals. Pet food with health claims is a fast-growing shelf.
Fish-oil-rich diets cut some swelling signals in past work, and two fish fats lowered such signals in dogs with heart disease. New sources such as algae and krill stay little used, and no one has pinned down the best mix of the two fat families. The authors call for work on how the fats act so diets can rest on proof.
