Fish oil, for one. I alternate between salmon, mackerel, and anchovy fish BODY oils, not cod liver. With fish oil, I also add vitamin E.
Here's the latest research on why:

Good luck with your kitties!
Yes, the article was talking about human consumption - it was the vitamin E supplementation paired with fish oil that I wanted the OP to read. Fish oil oxidizes easily and the vitamin E is supposed to help slow that process down. It's also the same for dogs. Too many people dose with fish oil, but not E.Originally Posted by Yosemite
