What are Omega-3 fatty acids, and why are they important for dogs?
Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks or macronutrients. We have different types of fat in our diets, but the two main ones are Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. The omega numbers (eg 3 and 6) refer to where the hydrogen atom joins the fat molecule, and this creates different properties for the fat and what it can do. Like everything, it’s all about balance and having a healthy ratio of 3:6. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), are essential in the diet for addressing inflammation, maintaining healthy cell walls, and supporting heart, brain, and joint health. Omega 3 fats make blood more ‘slippery’ which reduces the risk of artery disease (in humans and animals).
