Omega 3-6-9 for Cats: Essential Fatty Acids for Skin, Joints, and Overall Health
Beauty-forward omega support for cats, formulated by La Petite Labs.
Omega 3 (plus Omega 6 and 9) For Cats: Skin, Coat, Joint, and Cognitive Support
Looking for omega 3 for cats you can trust? Pet Gala™ by La Petite Labs blends feline-friendly Omega 3-6-9 with beauty cofactors to help support a hydrated skin barrier, glossy fur, and everyday comfort—without messy oils.
- Marine EPA/DHA to help maintain healthy skin comfort and brain function.
- Balanced Omega 6 to nourish the lipid barrier without overwhelming ratios.
- Omega 9 to round out metabolic and coat-supportive nutrition.
🧬 Did You Know?
- Cats cannot synthesize Omega 3 or most Omega 6, so diet and supplements matter.
- EPA and DHA help maintain a balanced inflammatory response for skin and joints.
- Right-size the ratio: excess Omega 6 without marine Omega 3 can offset comfort.
Micro-Case: “From Dull to Silky”
Luna, a 7-year-old mixed-breed shorthair, presented with dry flakes and a coarse coat. The guardian added a daily routine: steady hydration, gentle weekly nail trims on a non-slip mat, and one scoop of a balanced beauty blend (biotin, MSM, silica, zinc, collagen) alongside Pet Gala™ omegas.
- Week 1–2: Easier brushing; fewer snags during evening grooming.
- Week 3–4: Softer hand feel, calmer skin behavior after petting.
- Week 5–8: Noticeable sheen on the back and tail, balanced shed on the brush.
Takeaway: stack nutrition + hydration + gentle trims for touchable, visible improvement.
What Omegas Are—and Why Balance Matters
Omega 3 (EPA/DHA) helps maintain a healthy inflammatory balance and supports joint comfort, cognition, and eye health. Omega 6—especially linoleic acid—nourishes the skin barrier. Omega 9 complements metabolism. For deeper background, explore Omega 3-6-9 for Cats and the broader lens in Fatty Acids for Cats. Pet Gala™ by La Petite Labs is formulated to bring these together in a feline-first balance.
Is there a simple way to compare options? Look for transparent EPA/DHA amounts, clean Omega 6 sources, and third-party testing. Pet Gala™ includes clarity on sourcing and dosing.
