How fish oil for pets is an essential supplement in pet diets?

 Fish oil has been one of the most commonly consumed dietary supplements for a long time now. It is beneficial for both humans and pets.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are not synthesized naturally by the body. They are considered essential fatty acids (EFAs) for dogs and cats.

Omega-6 EFAs are linoleic and arachidonic acids. Omega-3 EFAs are a-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Adult dogs and cats have dietary requirements for linoleic acid. Adult cats also require dietary arachidonic acid. DHA is required in growing puppies and kittens. EPA along with these EFAs is considered essential nutrients for all life stages of pets.

Animal fat in Pet diet is a source of Omega-6 EFAs while fish oils, dried algae, fish meals, and whole fish are a source of Omega-3 EFAs. The best source among these for Omega-3 is fish oil for pets because of the concentration of the EFAs.

How is it beneficial?

The brain, heart, eyes, joint, skin, and coat of pets can all suffer due to an Omega-3 deficiency. Supplements with essential pet salmon oil is necessary for overall good health of canines and felines.

• Inflammatory properties: Prostaglandins and leukotrienes derived from EPA and DHA reduces inflammatory response with decreased platelet aggregation and immunologic stimulation.
  

• DHA in puppies aids in developing neurologic tissues with improved retinal development.
  

• Better immune systems: Pet Omega-3 supplements alleviate harmful effects of overactive immune systems. This leads to higher antibodies after vaccinations. Good immune systems help pets who suffer from Hyperlipidemia, Kidney disease, Cardiovascular disorders, Osteoarthritis, Atopy and Inflammatory bowel disease.
  

• Improved skin and coat: Omega-3 keeps pet’s skin moisturized and hydrated reducing shedding. This in turn improves the structure of the skin and coat leading to shinier coats.
  

• Improved mental health: EFAs modulate neurotransmitters and affect neuroplasticity influencing the same neural pathways as anti-anxiety medications do. This is likely due to a boost in serotonin leading to limiting aggression in dogs.
