Recently, veterinarians have found that omega-3 fatty acids play important roles in other areas of skin and coat health such as allergies, the control of inflammation, joint health, and the function of other body organs in dogs and cats.

Most pet foods contain far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3's. Some pet food companies have added omega-3 fatty acids to their foods to lower the ratio of inflammation causing omega-6 to Omega-3. For convenience, Omega-3 supplements such as Nordic Naturals Omega-3 pet may be added directly to your pet's favorite foods.
