Why does a Golden Retriever have tear stains?
Golden Retriever tear stains usually come from ingrown facial hair, 'internal heat,' blocked nasolacrimal ducts, or too-salty food. Ingrown hair around the eyes irritates and causes tearing, leading to stains — trim the surrounding fur. A blocked duct also causes frequent tearing and stains — clear the duct. Address the specific cause.
Can cats eat human fish oil?
Generally not recommended, because human and cat-specific fish oil differ in nutrients and dosage. A small amount of human fish oil usually won't harm a cat, but too much burdens the stomach and causes problems. Pet-specific fish oil has Omega-3 and other nutrients that improve skin and coat, helping dry skin, dandruff, shedding, and repairing damaged skin cells.
