Omega-3’s: The Perfect Companion Nutrient!

Omega-3’s: The Perfect Companion Nutrient!

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that provide numerous health benefits. They are extremely important and valuable in the heath of pets in several areas. At the top of that list are three key areas where Omega-3’s are the perfect companion nutrient. In these conditions, Omega-3’s should be added to protocols to greatly enhance improvement and restoration of health. Here are the three conditions:

Allergies*

Omega-3’s are very effective in pets with allergies and/or skin and coat problems. They help reduce inflammatory agents such as corticosteroid and antihistamines, which helps to control itching. Adding Omega-3’s to your pet’s food can go a long way in helping mitigate your pet’s allergies. You will see improved skin and coat health.

Look for Signs:

  • Itching, scratching, or licking
  • Redness, inflammation, or hot spots
  • Hives, rashes, or bald patches

*Non-Specific (excludes food, flea, and chemical allergies)

Joint Discomfort

As animals age, the cartilage protecting the joints can wear down resulting in reduced mobility and even osteoarthritis. Typically, supplementation with glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and MSM is in order and very effective in helping to protect cartilage loss. Omega-3’s can greatly augment this regimen in the early stage of treatment, as it is particularly effective at reducing the corresponding inflammation (which causes great discomfort and immobility) associated with these conditions.


Look for Signs:

  • Limping
  • Stiffness
  • Difficulty with movement like jumping or climbing stairs
  • Changes in behavior such as decreased activity or irritability

Immune System/Gut Axis

Omega-3’s can support a healthy immune system and have shown benefits in managing gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders such as IBS or IBD. In these cases, these gut maladies have an inflammatory component, which can be effectively addressed by adding omega-3’s to any of the treatment protocols.

Look for Signs:

  • Chronic vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite and weight loss
  • Changes in stool, such as mucous or altered color
