Why fish oil for dogs?
Dog kibble contains a lot of vegetable oil. This is often cheap oil with lots of omega 6 fatty acids and few omega 3 fatty acids.
An incorrect ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids promotes inflammation.
Your dog could develop symptoms because of this. To rebalance the ratio of omega 6 - omega 3, you can give fish oil to your dog, because giving more food to your dog is not always desirable either.
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential not only for humans, but also for dogs, cats and horses. You need to get them through diet. However, Omega 3 is found mainly in oily fish, something that dogs don't eat much, if at all.
You can also find omega 3 fatty acids in vegetable oil, which does come in kibble. These only contain mainly the omega 3 fatty acid ALA, while dogs need the fish fatty acids EPA and DHA.
Your dog can only convert 10% of the ALA into EPA and DHA.
Also the excess omega 6 from kibble causes the omega 3 not to be converted as well. Therefore, fish oil is good for dogs, as an alternative to oily fish and as a solution to the lack of sufficient omega 3.
But what is your dog's fish oil omega 3 for? Why is fish oil good for dogs? Fish oil is very welcome for a dog with osteoarthritis or (coat) problems. Fish oil helps for dogs against joint problems.
Omega 3 contributes to supple joints, good coat condition, a better immune system (fewer allergies) and combats severe shedding, dryness, flaking and red, itchy skin.
Omega 3 also has proven positive effects on your dog's intelligence, brain, nerves and survival time. Fish oil thus helps against your dog's shedding and osteoarthritis, among other things.
Fish oil is good for dogs in many ways, including pregnant dogs.
Fish oil for dogs makes the coat shine again.
How much fish oil does a dog need per day?
You can easily add fish oil to your dog's food or directly into the mouth, after eating. It is neutral in taste.
Adding omega 3 via fish oil as a supplement to your dog's diet will bring omega 6 and omega 3 more into balance.
Especially in heavier dogs, this is important. Omega 3 is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds.
Observe the following dosage when giving your dog fish oil:
- 1-5 kg: 1 ml
- 6-10 kg: 2 ml
- 11-20 kg: 4 ml
- 21-30 kg: 6 ml
- 31-40 kg: 8 ml
- 41-50 kg: 10 ml
Do not exceed this dosage unless otherwise recommended by the veterinarian.
During pregnancy and lactation, consult with your attending veterinarian. For chronic complaints, you can give fish oil permanently or, if necessary, temporarily in a higher dosage.
Giving your dog fish oil is not a substitute for a varied diet.
