The Importance of Good Fats for Your Dog

There’s a lot to be aware of when it comes to a healthy dog, including the benefits of healthy fats. Omega-3s, also known as “good fats,” support healthy brain function, help maintain healthy vision, and support healthy cardiovascular function in canines. But there’s a catch. While you want these benefits for your dog, not all supplement choices will help you reach your goals. Knowing why you are choosing a specific product for omega-3 support can help you cut through the confusion surrounding supplements.

Why Your Dog Needs Omega-3s

Omega-3 fats are essential to a dog’s healthy diet. They are a collection of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), found in fish, and Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), found in plants. Research has shown that when it comes to health benefits for dogs, EPA and DHA are the most powerful fatty acids to include in their diet.

Dogs, like humans, don’t produce all the omega-3s they need for brain, heart, eye, and joint health.  And since a dog’s food can’t be relied on to provide this important nutrient, supplementation is the answer. How do you pick a reliable source of omega-3 you can trust? Simple. You turn to Terry Naturally® Animal Health.

Intelligent Omega™ is an Intelligent Choice

Not all omega-3 products are the same. Most fish oils are not a good source of omega-3s due to the possibility of rancidity and dangerous amounts of heavy metals they contain. That’s not the case with Intelligent Omega from Terry Naturally® Animal Health. It’s an omega-3 sourced from Atlantic salmon without oil and in the perfect bioidentical form. Another difference? Intelligent Omega is derived without harsh solvents. It has better absorption because the omega-3s are bound to phospholipids, which is known to help a dog’s body absorb and use the omegas more efficiently. Peptides in Intelligent Omega support brain health by supporting the delicate blood vessels in the brain and supporting oxidative health. Best of all (at least for your dog), is that Intelligent Omega comes in a tasty chew!

If you’re looking for the best way to provide the dog in your life with those all-important fatty acids, you’ve found it with Intelligent Omega.
