We often hear that Omega Oils, specifically
Omega 3, 6 and 9, are beneficial to our health.
But did you know they also have widespread
benefits to the health of our pets?
The benefits of Omega Oils 3, 6 and 9 for our
pets include:
S Promotes healthy skin and coat
S Improves dry and itchy skin
S Boosts the immune system
S Lowers blood pressure
S Reduces inflammation - particularly inflammation
associated with arthritis, allergies and
autoimmune diseases
S Regulates blood clotting activity
S Supports a healthy heart and brain
Omegas 3, 6 and 9 contain essential fatty acids
that are an important part of a well-balanced diet
to help keep your pets in optimum health. So
how can you ensure that your pets are receiving
enough of these important oils? Omega oils
can be naturally found in a range of fish and in
different oils like olive and flaxseed oil.
These days a large majority of dog and cat food
comes with added omega oils which is usually
displayed on the packaging.
Sometimes a pet's regular diet does not offer
enough of the omega oils to be beneficial and
therefore a supplement may be necessary,
especially in pets that have skin or coat issues
or arthritis. There are a number of different
supplements available ranging from powders,
oils or chews to topical treatments that you apply
directly to the skin. Taking a supplement that
contains Omegas 3, 6 and 9 rather than each
omega supplement individually, is much more
beneficial as it ensures that your pet is receiving
the correct ratio and optimal levels of each fatty
acid. Popular supplements for your pets include
Natural Animal Solutions Omega 3, 6 & 9 Oil,
PAW Coat, Skin & Nail Chews and Essential 6.
