Omega-3's are so often deficient in dogs diets and can result in dull eyes and coat, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Where should your dog get its omega-3 oils from? As a fresh food feeding group, our first recommendation is to feed fatty fish twice a week. โ Salmon โ Sardines โ Mackerel โ Trout โ Herring โ Anchovy โ Tuna (keep to he minimum due to heavy metal accumulation) โ Oysters โ Shrimp โ Lobster โ Scollops โ Australian Bass (lower fat) - usually a very affordable fish. โ Tilapia (lower fat) โ Cod (lower fat) ๐ฅ Some enriched eggs, avoid caged and barn eggs. ๐ Fish originate from different destinations and you should choose whatever fish fits within you feeding vision, we have many options. In addition to fatty fish, we also recommend you place the following plant based sources(ALA) on rotation but as their conversion to DHA and EPA is not as great, we would not recommend you rely one one solely, in addition, some do not contain decent amounts so you would have to feed a lot to get any benefit such as seaweed,algae & Phytoplankton. โ Chia seeds, ground or soaked โ Flax seeds, ground or soaked โ Walnuts, ground or soaked (Walnuts can have a black mould risk, so use these as your last option) โ Black beans & Kidney beans โ Hempseeds, hulled โ Spinach โ Cauliflower โ Blueberries โ Seaweed & Algae โ Butternut pumpkin, known as Winter Squash overseas. โ Phytoplankton โ Algal oil (the bio-availability of DHA from algal oil is equivalent to that from cooked salmon) Whilst there are plenty of omega-3 oils of the market, we ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ด๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐บ๐๐บ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ of a nutrient unless it is absolutely necessary. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ-๐ฏ ๐ผ๐ถ๐น, ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐: โ ๏ธ The oil can be rancid at the time of purchase and can go rancid shortly after. You'll want to ask the manufacturer how they manage oxidation in their product and what testing they have done. โ ๏ธ If it doesn't contain Vitamin E, you'll need to add it as fish oil depletes Vitamin E โ ๏ธ May contain high levels of heavy metals such as Mercury, you'll want to ask the manufacturer for a 3rd party heavy metals analysis. โ ๏ธ Most will probably have a very restricted lipid profile and lack bio-availability. ๐ If you're a follower of my page, you'll know I have a love for a supplement called '๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐ป๐ผ๐น ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฑ'. This supplement is primarily used by dogs with active joint disease but is also widely used as a preventative for joint disease. Antinol Rapid is a kick ass omega-3 which is a full spectrum omega-3, low in purines therefore safe for Dalmatians, heavy metal safe and highly bio available, it is also c02 extracted. This is a unique and very high grade omega-3 that does not require vitamin E added. It is not cheap like fish oil supplements because of all the above mentioned factors. Antinol Rapid is not designed to replace omega-3's from food and is designed to be used additional to your dogs regular diet BUT if your dog cannot obtain its omega-3 requirement from food then Antinol will cover their needs. Additional uses of Antinol is that it improves train-ability in puppies and can assist on reducing cognitive decline in older dogs. A side effect many people see is that it can improve some skin conditions. There are also many reports of it assisting with other diseases where inflammation is at its core. ๐ฉ If you would like an online supplier of Antinol, shoot me a message.
