NutraOrigin Flax Oil for Animals contains pure, unrefined flaxseed oil — a rich source of Omega-3 and Omega-6. These essential fatty acids nutritionally support healthy skin and a glossy coat, and minimize excess shedding.*
Just like humans, cats, dogs, horses, and cattle require the right balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for optimal health. While the exact ratio is still debated, it’s likely they need five times as much Omega-6 as Omega-3. Unfortunately, most pet foods contain plenty of Omega-6 (as linoleic acid), but zero Omega-3, since, unless properly protected, it spoils easily. As a result, that perfect 5:1 ratio gets thrown off balance. By providing higher levels of Omega-3 and lower levels of Omega-6, NutraOrigin Flax Oil for Animals helps reset your animals’ Omega balance. Plus, it’s stabilized with rosemary and vitamin C for optimal freshness.*
Humans aren’t the only ones who need Omega fatty acids: so do cats and dogs! In the wild, these animals would get the perfect balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids by feeding on prey such as mice, rabbits, and birds. Grazing animals such as horses and cattle would naturally get their Omegas from eating fresh, green grass. However, few domesticated animals are subsisting on wild diets anymore, and pet and animal food manufacturers purposely avoid adding Omega-3s to their products because they pose a rancidity risk. As a result, your pet or animal may be deficient in these essential fats. That’s why NutraOrigin Flax Oil for Animals is so important.*
