Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

combined EPA + DHA per day ≈ body weight (kg) × a goal factor (≈50–110 mg/kg). Check the label for EPA+DHA content, not just total fish oil.

20 kg dog, skin & coat → ~1,500 mg EPA+DHA/day.

Total fish oil ≠ EPA+DHA?

Right — dose by the EPA+DHA content, which is only part of the oil.
