What are Omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3’s belong to a group of fatty acids known as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty
acids. There are three important Omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are found
in fish, while ALA is found only in plant foods such as flaxseed meal. EPA and DHA
omega-3 fatty acids can only be made in a limited capacity in dogs and are even
more poorly synthesized in cats. Therefore, supplementing your pet’s diet with these
nutrients can significantly change their levels of health-promoting Omega-3’s.
What do omega-3 fatty acids do for the body?
The Omega-3’s EPA and DHA are recognized for their health benefits in all life stages.
They are important building blocks for every cell in the body, which requires these
crucial components to grow, develop and maintain health. These fatty acids are an
integral part of cell membranes and are precursors of several important cellular
messengers.
What is the richest source of omega-3 fatty acids?
Fish oil is the richest source for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA). Cold-water fish, like anchovies, sardines and mackerel, are considered
the some of the best sources for these essential fatty acids.
What fish do you use in Omega-3 Ultra-Pure Fish Oils for pets?
We use anchovies and/or sardines.
Why should I give my dog or cat a fish oil supplement?
In general, pet foods contain more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids. To promote
a healthier fatty acid profile, it is advisable to supplement with omega-3 fatty
acids.
What are the health benefits associated with taking omega-3 fatty acids from
fish oil?
Regular supplementation of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) from fish
oil can help support your dog or cats healthy:
