Fish oil can be an excellent source of essential omeg-3 fatty acids for your dog. Omega-3 fatty acid is the brain and body's natural anti-inflammatory. Your dog's brain cannot store Omega-3 fatty acid so it is important to make sure Omega-3 is added to your dog's diet daily. Omega-3 also supports your dog's immune system, cardiovascular system, bones and ligaments, skin, fur and more. It is important to understand how to choose a good fish oil product. Not all fish oil is safe. Some fish oil is harvested from fish in contaminated water, for example - off the coast of China (high content of heavy metal contamination) or Japan (radiation from Fukushima). Other fish oil may be sourced from factory farm fish. What is wrong with that? Well, factory farm fish are raised in confined and often man-made pools. When many living organisms are forced to live in unnatural and confined conditions the environment that they live in becomes a breeding ground for disease and parasites. Factory farm fish are fed food pellets that are comprised of non-organic and often species inappropriate food; are given antibiotics, may be given growth hormone and chemical-based pesticides and fungicides to control parasites and fungus. All of these substances are ingested by your dog when they consume the oil. The end result is for your dog is an increase in toxic loading, hormone disrupting build-up and anti-biotic resistance. While you may have the good intention of improving your dog's health with the supplement you may actually be furthering the development of health issues. To avoid this pitfall choose a product that is labelled specifically and clearly with no ambiguity, i.e. the ingredient list states that the source of the Omega-3 fatty acids are Norwegian or Arctic Krill oil or Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil.
