Omega-3 fatty acids for dogs are found in Omega Fatty Acids supplements and Fish Oil supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids for dogs improve their skin, coat, and overall health.
Found in Omega Fatty Acid supplements, Omega-3 fatty acids for dogs help reduce shedding and improve your dog’s skin, coat, and vascular system. The omega fatty acids play a role in the structure of cell membranes, support the immune system, and support the proper growth and development of the nervous system.
The Omega-3 in fish oil is made up of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both of which are in a ready-to-use form. With fish oil, the dog’s metabolism uses the nutrients (EPA and DHA) immediately without any prior conversion.
Both Omega Fatty Acids and Fish Oil supplements contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Either supplement will provide your dog with a sufficient amount of Omega-3 fatty acids.
