COD LIVER OIL VERSUS SALMON OIL


 

The health promoting Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. They are important for supporting healthy skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, eye health, as well as the pet's energy level. While research indicates that a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 of 5:1 to 10:1 is optimal for dogs, many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils. This results in a highly unbalanced ratio dominated by Omega-6.

Some diets may include Omega-3 fatty acids; however, virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. In line with pet recommendations in Scandinavia, we feel it is critical to give your pet quality fish oil daily.
