4. Flaxseed

A plant-based source of omega-3s, flaxseed is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While ALA is not as potent as EPA and DHA, it still provides essential fatty acids for overall health. Consider ground flaxseed for better absorption.

2. Krill Oil

Krill oil is an alternative to fish oil, containing both EPA and DHA. It's a highly digestible source of omega-3s and may be easier for some cats to tolerate compared to traditional fish oil.
