FATS IN DOG FOOD
Fats – necessary for energy, skin and fur health, and brain and organ care – are listed as animal fat, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, and may also include seed and soy-based oils. It’s important to balance the protein and fat content in dog foods, to avoid obesity – especially in puppies, who grow very quickly and whose joints and bones need to grow optimally without carrying any extra weight. Mature and senior dogs also need their food fats managed carefully, to prevent weight gain and to protect their joints from strain as they age and require less energy.
OMEGA PET FOODS: Skin and coat health are supported by the inclusion of chicken fat and fish oils (source of DHA and EPA omega 3 fatty acids) as well as added biotin and zinc. Joint health is supported by the inclusion of green lipped muscle extract, glucosamine and chondroitin.
