Fish Oil and Omega 3 Health Benefits

Omega 3 Fish Oil Benefits for Your Pets

Fish oil for your pooch? Nah, you must be kidding! Well, I’m not. Don’t you know that what’s good for you is good for your pets, too?

You must all know by now that I’m a raw diet advocate. After all, that’s what we would be having if not for the onslaught of processed and refined foods in today’s highly commercialized society. Come to think of it, that’s what our pets would be having, too, if they were left on their own in the wild. So, I put our lab/newfie on a raw food diet and boy, he’s incredibly healthy!

Modern pet foods are very much like the processed and refined foods for humans – full of hype but devoid of all the needed nutrients. Put some highly processed table scraps to the mix and you’ve got a surefire recipe for arthritis, cancer and heart disease! Would you like this to happen to your beloved pooch?

Despite all these gruesome details, there are some people who would not switch to a raw food diet, no matter what. However, they still want to keep their pets healthy and protected against such deadly diseases. Is there a way to achieve it?

Well, you’re in luck. There is a simple way to get around it – by supplementing your pet’s diet with good quality fish oil supplement. How does it help?

Well, it helps to keep your pet active. It’s not uncommon for large breed dogs to bear the pains of arthritis as they grow older. I’ve seen some dogs who can’t even get up to potty themselves without any assistance! It’s painful to watch.

So, where does fish oil come into the picture? Some scientists believe that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil block the enzyme that initiates inflammation. And without inflammation, your pets will absolutely be pain-free.

Omega 3 fatty acids may also lower the risk of cancer. Do you know that by eliminating or reducing the incidence of chronic inflammation, you are in effect lowering the risk of cancer? It’s true!

A lot of recent studies show that most types of cancer result from increased, chronic inflammation. And since fish oils help regulate the inflammatory response, the micro-inflammation that causes some cancers are actually prevented and in some cases, reversed.

Omega 3 keeps the heart healthy. Heart and circulatory problems are among the major concerns of most pet owners. And such problems are highly predictable, given the nature of modern pet foods we give them plus the table scraps we often pass onto them after dinner. So, don’t be surprised if your pets suffer the same artery-clogging and heart-damaging consequences we humans are most susceptible to!

Haven’t I said before that what’s good for you is good for your pet? We’ve been talking about how great fish oil is to your health, especially to your heart, and the same thing is true for your pets, too!

So, the next time you buy a bottle of Salmon Oil Plus for you and your family, get one for your pets, too! Aside from extending your pet’s life by years, supplementing your pet’s diet with this superior quality fish oil will also give them a much healthier, shinier coat of hair! Now, that’s not a bad side benefit, if you ask me!
