Fish Oil For Pets-why More Veterinarians Are Recommending Omega 3 Fatty Acids To Faithful
Companions
I have learned from a few people that some of you simply don’t understand about the benefits of
fish oil for dogs, or you have never even thought about whether such a supplement would be good for
your pet. More and more veterinarians are now recommending omega 3 fatty acids as a method of
treating the ailments of pets. What benefits does supplementing their diet with fish oil give your
faithful companion?
Our dogs and cats suffer from the same inflammatory ailments that we do, and certain breeds are
more prone to specific problems than others. DHA and EPA n-3 fatty acids are the two most important
fatty acids for the reduction of inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is what causes the
vast majority of health problems in both humans, and their pets.
A lot of animals suffer from degenerative ailments such as arthritis when they get up in years. The
potent anti-inflammatory properties that omega 3 rich fish oil for dogs and cats possesses can help
in preventing diseases like arthritis from developing. If you happen to have a pet that currently
suffers from severe inflammation in the joints, just a few weeks of supplementing their diet with
fish oil will dramatically improve their condition.
You may notice that your cat or dog suffers from allergies during certain times of the year. By
keeping the pet’s levels of DHA and EPA omega fatty acids high year round, when allergy season
comes around again your beloved animal will not suffer as they did during past years. These
nutrients will do wonder if your dogs suffers a skin allergy for example, as many breeds tend
to.
Fish oil for dogs and cats is effective in significantly reducing their risk of developing
inflammatory diseases, which are often caused by what is known as fatty acid derangement. These
ailments include kidney disease, heart disease, and cancer. just as a rule of thumb, the more
serious the disease fro which your pet suffers the more fish oil they may need, but let a vet help
you decide on how much is necessary.
Fish oil for dogs and cats is recommended as a treatment over flaxseed oil, which is often
suggested as a source of omega 3 fatty acids for pets. Flaxseed oil is made up of ALA fatty acid,
which can be converted by the body into the DHA and EPA fatty acids necessary for optimum health.
The problem is that the conversion rate for both people and animals is extremely low.
Pets can obtain just as many benefits as humans can when it comes to the effects of omega 3 fatty
acids. This type of potent natural supplement is far more effective in keeping your pet healthy
than many of the products “designed” for pets. You just want to make sure that you check out the
company that makes the omega 3 formulas before you decide to buy.
Fish oil for dogs and cats could do your pet a world of good.
