Salmon oil and the benefits of adding it to your dog's diet.

The high content of omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids in salmon oil make it a super supplement for your dogs

Salmon oil is rich in these fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both of which play essential roles in maintaining a dog's overall health. They support healthy skin and coat, promote a strong immune system, and aid in reducing inflammation in the body.

They help alleviate dry, itchy skin, reduce shedding, and improve the overall condition and appearance of the coat. Omegas 3, 6 & 9 can also support the skin's natural barrier function and reduce the likelihood of allergies or dermatitis.

Salmon oil's anti-inflammatory properties can also benefit dogs with joint issues, such as arthritis. The fatty acids help reduce inflammation in the joints, which may alleviate pain and improve mobility. Added to that, they have also been linked to promoting a healthy heart and cardiovascular system so can help regulate blood pressure, reduce blood clot formation, and support proper heart function.

Some studies suggest that omegas-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids may have a positive impact on cognitive function and brain health in dogs, particularly in senior dogs. These fatty acids are believed to support brain development and may help with memory, learning, and overall mental acuity.

It should be used as a supplement and not as a replacement for a balanced diet. As with human diets, if in doubt about adding a supplement or changing your dogs food then consult with your friendly vet.
