Omega 3 and 6 are essential fatty acids that are needed in a equal amount, A normal dog food is loaded with omega-6, and almost no omega-3. A good omega -3 supplement to balance the omega-6 they already eat will help with Arthritis, energy, pain, healing, and a glossy coat. Finding a good supplement that the dog will eat is the hard part.
