Running, jumping, playing, swimming – these are all part of an active dog’s life! Unfortunately, wear and tear on the joints are also par for the course. Omega 3s are a great way to help your active dog stay active and moving well.
- Omega 3s are essential fatty acids – meaning your dog can only get them from food, her body cannot make them.
- Omega 3s need to be added fresh to the meal as almost all diets – including fresh food diets – do not contain the level of omega 3s your active dog needs.
- Omega 3s are anti-inflammatory. As active dogs play and exercise, it is possible for minor injuries to occur – such pulled muscles. Although inflammation is the body’s way of protecting an injury, long term inflammation degrades joints. Chronic inflammation is also connected with disease.
- Omega 3s supports the body to have a balanced response to these injuries.
The best way to ensure your pet is getting the omega 3s they need to be healthy is to add an oil high in omega 3s to one meal per day. Here is why we love Flax Unleashed®:
- Flax is very high in omega 3s
- Flax Unleashed® is a whole food source of Omega-3s. It contains flax lignan (very high in anti-oxidants) which protects the oil from going rancid.
- Flax lignan is also a prebiotic so it feeds the gut bacteria. Well-fed gut bacteria are better equipped to breakdown oils into the format the body needs.
That is why whole food supplements work so well! Nature provides the necessary parts together. When nutrients are isolated, they never work as well as they do in Nature's original form.
