Fish Oil For Dogs

Fats are good! And fish oil for dogs provide, spoonful to spoonful, more than twice as much energy as other food sources.

Fresh salmon oil, cod liver oil among others have essential fatty acids, that heal!

Fats are also required for the maintenance and growth of many tissues in the body.

The essential fatty acids are smaller components of fats that are necessary for good health. Omega 3 and Omega 6 are talked about a lot for humans.

Do Essential Fatty Acids Matter?

Yes. While there are a few other good sources of essential fatty acids, such as flax oil, without adequate quantities of these valuable fats, many health problems will occur. These include:

• significant skin erruptions
• loss of hair
• skin that won't heal from wounds
• liver and kidney degeneration
• increased susceptibility to infections
• heart and circulatory problems
• weakness
• retarded growth
• spontaneous abortions
• sterility
• vision impairment
• loss of ability to learn
• symptoms similar to arthritis

That makes it pretty obvious why they are named essential fatty acids huh?

What's nice about fish oil is the ease of using it. Aside from capsules, there are fish you can serve cooked and even canned such as sardines, herring, mackerel and albacore tuna. Halibut, lake trout and salmon are wonderful nutritious treats packed with nutrition too.

If the smell of fish oil bothers you or you want the ease of using a capsule, you can go to Three Little Pitties Natures Sunshine Products and copy and paste or type in Super Omega-3 EPA into the search box.
