Rocco has brittle nails and broken nails have been split to the toe, exposing the quick. Rocco has been to the vet on more than one occasion to repair a broken nail. Not only can these procedures be costly, but they are also painful and uncomfortable for Rocco (who usually has to wear a cone for several days.) After Rocco’s last visit to the vet to repair a broken nail, the vet suggested fish oil supplements for dogs. Fish oil supplements for dogs can improve skin, coat, joint, and heart health in dogs. Fish oil supplements contain two essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA. These omega-3 fatty acids act as an anti-inflammatory and promote a healthy shiny coat. As with any supplement, the process of finding the correct fish oil dog supplement can be daunting. Consult your vet for dosage, instructions, and side-effects when using fish oil dog supplements.. Rocco has been taking the fish oil supplements for about three weeks. His nails look slightly stronger with less breakage.
