There’s nothing fancy about this supplement (it’s been around for years!), but this doesn’t mean that fish oil for your dog doesn’t pack a punch when it comes to giving your pet an overall health boost! Just take a look at what it can offer!
Essential fatty acids such as omega-3 provide energy and aid with the development of tissue, nerve, cell and muscle in dogs as it does in humans. Fats and oils also help with the absorbtion of several vital vitamins, including A, D, E and K. Needless to say, you’ll notice the change in your pooch’s coat as fish oil will help to make it shiny and healthy.
Maybe you’re thinking that’s all well and good, but what is fish oil actually made of?
One of the biggest components of fish oil is a fatty acid called DHA, a commonly found nutrient in Salmon and Herring.
In puppies and growing dogs, DHA has been shown to improve:
- Cognitive memory
- Retinal functions
- Mental development
In older, more mature dogs, DHA:
- Reduces inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, allergies and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Supports dogs with kidney and heart disease.
- Assists dogs with cancer.
Fish oil is a fantastic addition to your pet’s diet at any age.
