You’ve probably heard that fish oil has great health benefits for humans, but have you ever wondered if it would be good for your pet too? The answer is Yes! Here are four reasons why every pet's diet should include salmon oil:
Salmon oil contains omega-3 fatty acids like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), as well as omega-6 fatty acids. DHA can increase your dog’s cognitive function. DHA also plays a key role in brain function, learning, and proper development in puppies. Studies show that dogs performed better on visual, memory, and learning tests when they had more DHA in their diet compared to a placebo group.
Salmon oil assists in building a protective barrier of strong cells on the skin. This stops a reaction from happening on your dog’s skin when your dog comes into contact with allergens. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids give your dog a shiny coat, and they can help cut back on shedding.
Omega fatty acids also play a key role in vision and early development. That’s because these long-chain acids form a key part of cellular structures. Getting your dog the proper amount of essential fatty acids can help to support healthy vision and may prevent serious health conditions.
The anti-inflammatory properties of long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids treat autoimmune and inflammatory issues as well. They can minimize hip and joint discomfort, which is especially helpful for older dogs, and aid immune responses from T-cells to various triggers.
Giving your dog salmon oil may support healthy heart function. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids offer anti-inflammatory and anti-arrhythmic properties that may help dogs with certain heart conditions. Omega fatty acids may also help to stabilize cells in heart muscles to aid with an irregular heartbeat and other cardiovascular problems.
