For centuries, pet diets consisted of natural, unprocessed foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish, algae, and plants.



The health-promoting Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. They are important for supporting healthy skin1, coat, joints, brain, heart2, and eye health3, as well as a pet's energy level. While research indicates that a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 of 5:1 to 10:1 is optimal for dogs4, many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils. This results in a highly unbalanced ratio dominated by Omega-6.



Some pet diets may include Omega-3 fatty acids; however, virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. In line with pet recommendations in Scandinavia, we feel it is crucial to give your pet quality fish oil every day.
