General Nutrient Support
Inflammation and Joint Care
Omega-3 fatty acids provide anti-inflammatory effects that promote proper joint health for your beloved companions. Fish oils have been shown to aid in the treatment of arthritis, and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that may be of concern as your pet ages.
Healthy Skin & Coat
Researchers at the University of Minnesota reported more than 70 years ago that young animals fed fat-free diets ceased to grow, developed dry skin and brittle hair, and exhibited other symptoms. All these conditions were reversed after adding Omega-3 fatty acids to the their diet, demonstrating the importance of Omega-3 essential fatty acids for pet health and overall well-being.
Heart & Eyes
Cod liver oil is naturally high in Omega-3 and vitamin A, which support heart health and visual acuity.
Weight Maintenance
Excess animal weight predisposes illnesses, disease, and reduces activity level. Cod liver oil may be used as an aid in weight loss by regulating sodium balance, water retention and fat metabolism.
About Nordic Naturals
Nordic Naturals is the leader in Omega-3 fish oil supplementation, and manufactures Norwegian fish oils of exceptional purity and freshness levels for both humans and pets. If you are like most pet owners, you want to give your pet the very best care possible. While you may buy the best pet food available, it still may not provide all the nutrition your pet needs.
For centuries, canine and feline diets consisted of natural and 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 skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, and eyes, as well as your 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 fatty acids.
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, it is important to give your pet quality fish oil every day.
