Jawel, dat kan wel en dat is ook niet gezond.
Is There a Such Thing as Omega-3 Toxicity?
Research has shown that consuming excessive amounts of omega-3 fatty acids can have negative effects on a person’s health. Some of these negative effects may include immune alteration that can cause a dysfunctional response to bacterial and viral infections and a higher risk of developing colitis.
There is also information that taking too much could possibly increase the risk of bleeding, inhibit blood clotting and increase total blood cholesterol, but this is inconclusive so far. Since the issues with bleeding and blood clotting could be possible, those taking aspirin or blood-thinning medications should be very careful about the dose of omega-3 fatty acids they take each day.
Dosering voor honden:
Je ziet er natuuuurlijk weer meerdere voorbij komen, ik pluk er 3 van het Internet:
1) Translating the data suggests that a dose between 20-55 mg combined EPA and DHA per pound of body weight is safe for dogs and cats. This dose is far less than those used to treat serious conditions where the risk of side effects is less important than the benefits of treatment. Consult with your veterinarian when treating conditions requiring higher dosages.
2) The recommended dosage of omega-3 for dogs varies by weight. For every 30 pounds of body weight, give Fido 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined. If your pooch needs more than an average dose to help combat more serious health problems, up the dosage to a maximum of 1,000 mg fish oil per 10 pounds of body weight. If you are unsure about how much your dog weighs, ask your vet for help. Bron:

3)Healthy dogs can be given 100 to 150 mg EPA and DHA per 10 pounds of body weight daily; dogs who have health problems can be given up to 300 mg per 10 pounds of body weight. One ounce of canned fish with bones (sardines, jack mackerel, pink salmon) averages about 300 mg EPA and DHA combined.
Dus tja, lastig. Voor jou is het een beetje pielen tussen wat een gezonde dosering is en een dosering voor een hond die een therapeutische hoeveelheid nodig heeft....
