Smarter Omega-3s, Smaller Dose

When it comes to omega-3 supplementation, more isn’t always better. What matters most is how much your pet’s body can actually absorb and use.

Once entered, you’ll receive a personalized daily serving range already adjusted for PhytoSmart’s superior absorption and nutrient efficiency.

(Tip: If your pet is transitioning from a fish oil supplement, you can usually start with half their previous dose and monitor coat, cognition, and energy levels over two weeks.)

Why PhytoSmart Requires Less

PhytoSmart’s whole-cell algae formula was designed to deliver omega-3s the way nature intended—fresh, protected, and surrounded by the cofactors that make them truly bioavailable. That means your pet can get the same (or greater) benefits from a smaller dose than with traditional fish oil.

Suggested Daily Use
