Fish oil DHA and EPA

Why is giving an omega-3 supplement useful? Some dogs and cats often eat kibble that contains a lot of vegetable oil. Because of the cost, cheap oil is often used that is high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3. 

The use of fresh oil (also for animals) is one of the principles of Arctic Blue. Because the fish is processed within 24 hours in cold Northern Norway, the sensitive unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids remain in good condition. We are the only ones who are transparent about (and proud of) the oxidation value of the oil. This is the main reason why we don't use fish oil from whole sardines and anchovies from warm countries like China or South America. How can you test this yourself? By tasting. The first sign of an oxidized fish oil is an off-kilter fishy taste.

Another reason is that we don't use whole ground fish that can actually be used for other animals or humans. We prefer to use the fillet trimmings and liver from the cod. This method has also earned us the MSC quality mark.

Omega-3 fatty acids are among the nutrients that have been best researched. Thousands of studies have been done on the importance of these good fats for our health. Hence, the European government has also made official health claims that articulate the effect of Omega-3 fats on the heart, brain, eyes, blood pressure, blood fat levels and as a building block for the unborn and breastfed child.
