Benefits of Salmon Oil for Pets

Salmon oil is a natural

supplement that is becoming increasingly popular for use in pet food and as a dietary supplement for pets. Salmon oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which have numerous health benefits for pets.

And as a rich source of both EPA and DHA, algae oil is a valuable addition to any animal’s diet. The most important of all the benefits of algae oil for dogs and cats is its role in maintaining balance. Omega-3s help balance out omega-6s. When our pets consume omega-6s, they’re converted into pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (short burst pro-inflammatory hormones). When the ratio of omega-6s significantly outweighs omega-3s, this creates low-grade to severe systemic inflammation which is the root cause for almost all chronic diseases.

Several different types of marine algae have been shown to be rich in EPA and DHA. So this means they’re providing the same health benefits as fish oil or other marine omega supplements. Additionally, EPA has anti-inflammatory effects, while DHA is vital for eye, brain and nervous system health. As far as the benefits of algae oil for dogs and cats, there are more than a few! It helps support the health of your animal’s:
  • Joints
  • Skin and cvoat
  • Heart and cardiovascular system
  • Brain
  • Eyes
  • Nervous System

Some of the potential benefits of salmon oil for pets include:

Improved skin and coat health: The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon oil can help to improve the appearance of a pet’s skin and coat, making it shinier, healthier, and less prone to dandruff and other skin conditions.

Joint health: Omega-3 fatty acids can help to reduce inflammation in the joints, which can be especially beneficial for pets with arthritis or other joint problems.

Heart health: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have a positive impact on heart health, reducing the risk of heart disease and improving heart function.

Cognitive function: Omega-3 fatty acids may help to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline in pets.

Immune system support: Salmon oil can help to support a pet’s immune system and reduce the risk of certain diseases and infections.

you’ll already know that most products come from sources that are not truly sustainable.  Sustainable can be defined as the ability of something to be used as a resource with 0% depletion or damage of the natural world.

And unfortunately, fish, krill, and squid oil just don’t meet that definition. Their impact on ocean life, and therefore all life in general, is just too great to ignore.
