Diet is the foundation for mental health. You actually need omega-3 for your brain cells so they function properly.

 

Omega 3 Fatty Acids for Dogs

Dogs and human beings have different nutritional needs.  Humans require both omega 3 and omega 6 oils in their diets.  Dogs, however, do not.  Dogs can manufacture every fatty acid they need except linoleic acid (LA), an omega 6 fatty acid.  Supplementing omega 3 fatty acids for dogs is, however, a good idea.

Most commercial dog foods have high levels of omega 6 fatty acids.  In some ways, this is good, because the dogs need omega 6 EFA’s.  What is more important than the amount of omega 6 EFA’s, however, is the ratio of omega 6 EFA’s to omega 3 EFA’s.  The ideal ratio for dogs is 5-10 times as much omega 6 EFA’s as omega 3.  Commercial dog foods often have much higher amounts of omega 6 EFA’s, and supplementing with omega 3 fatty acids for dogs can provide a more balanced diet.

There are also specific health conditions where your dog requires more omega 3 EFA’s. 

Omega 3 oils have been shown to help reduce inflammation in canine skin disorders.  Adding omega 3 oils to your dog’s diet improves the health of his skin and coat, and can control various skin disorders.

Omega 3 oils are necessary in dogs for visual acuity and the development of the nervous system.  Pregnant females and pups may benefit from added omega 3 supplementation.

Dogs with lymphoma are more likely to go into remission and they suffer fewer side effects when omega 3 oils are added to their diets.

There are several ways you can add omega 3 fatty acids for dogs to your dog’s diet.  You can purchase omega-balanced dog food.  This dog food has the proper balance of omega 6 to omega 3 essential fatty acids.

Another way you can add omega 3 EFA’s to your dog’s diet is to give him fish oil or fish oil capsules.  Fish oil is high in omega 3 oils, and can be added to your dog’s food.  Supplementing your dog’s diet with omega 3 fatty acids has health benefits and will improve his coat and skin.
