Ask Dr. Dave - Omega Fatty Acids

It has long been known that Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary to promote skin and coat health in our pets. The latest research indicates that there are many more health benefits that are derived from these fatty acids.

Our pet’s ancestors ate non processed diets consisting of plants, algaes and fish which were high in Omega-3 fatty acids. While some processed pet diets do contain Omega-3s,they do not contain sufficient amounts. There are other sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, but fish oil remains the best source. Fish oil contains both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are essential to promote skin and coat health, heart health, brain development, eye development and maintenance, joint health, moisture retention in skin, energy production and optimal cellular health.

The ratio of Omega-6 fatty acids to Omega-3 is also important. Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils can upset the balance so, a good quality Omega-3 supplement is important. A good supplement will also provide Vitamin A to help support vision, immune function and growth and Vitamin D which is important for muscle contraction, nerve conduction, cell signaling and strong skeletal structure. Consult with your veterinarian before adding to or changing your pet’s diet.

Remember to be vigilant in keeping human foods such as chocolate, fatty fried foods, foods containing raisins or grapes, avocados etc., away from your pets.
