We’ve all heard of the omega 3s and omega 6s found in salmon, essential ‘good’ types of fat that helps your brain. And we all know they have been found to provide a wide range of beneficial effects in humans, but is salmon oil good for dogs?
Salmon Oil can indeed have an incredible impact on your dog!
In fact, salmon oil is one of the single most potent supplements you can add to your dog’s diet. To name a few benefits, it can contribute to the brain development of puppies, strengthen immune systems, reduce inflammation, benefit heart health and promote a silky coat. Plus, countless studies have also shown that omega-3 fatty acids are a powerful, natural method of decreasing the inflammation and pain.
Therefore, many veterinarians recommend that pet owners include a salmon oil in their dog's diet.
Healthy fats for dogs?
To fully understand the importance of adding Salmon Oil to your dog’s diet, you must first understand about omega 3 and omega 6, the healthy fats found in Salmon Oil.
Healthy fats can be powerful, as they contain 2.25 times more energy than carbohydrates or protein. Fats are needed for your dog to consume vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. They also help to keep the skin and coat feeling healthy and nourished.
To benefit from these advantages, it is important to calculate not just the quantity of fat in your dog's diet but also the fat ratio. Omega 3s and omega 6s have distinct properties that work together to provide nutritional benefits. If these acids are not well balanced, it can cause inflammation in your dog's body.
Omega 3s
Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps avoid and manage heart disease, helps to store energy, aids in vitamin absorption, and plays an essential role in hormone regulation. Omega-3 has also been shown to control inflammation and aid in the healing process, making it an essential nutrient for injured dogs. It is defined as an anti-inflammatory, that benefits the skin and hair of your dog while enhancing mobility by relaxing stiff, aching joints.
Salmon oil contains a large amount of EPA and DHA, these are long-chain omega-3 acids. Both EPA and DHA are essential components of cell membranes in humans as well as dogs. These fatty acids act as triggers in cells to reduce inflammation. This means less discomfort, redness, and swelling on the skin, muscles, and other organs!
Omega 6s
The immune system is highly reliant on a sufficient supply of omega-6 fatty acids. Without omega 6, a dog may be unable to properly recover from a wound or may exhibit other immune system deficiency symptoms. Omega-6 is also essential for both male and female dog's reproductive health.
