British veterinary surgeon and dog behavioural expert Sara Heath commented on the research: “Enhancement of a puppy’s cognitive development and exposure to various learning opportunities can maximise the potential for it to develop into an adult dog that can be readily welcomed as a member of society.” Omega 3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory abilities which help fight against chronic diseases such as arthritis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

BENEFITS Research has proven that DHA from fish oils makes puppies more intelligent, easier to train and improves memory. Oils derived from other fish, such as cod liver oil, offer lots of the same benefits to dogs as salmon oil; improved coat and skin quality, a boosted immune system and decreased inflammation. However, this is mostly down to its Omega 3 content - something that salmon oil has a much higher concentration of. Salmon oil also provides superior Omega 3 absorption in a dog’s body, and it has a fishier taste, which dogs love.

As a plant-based alternative to fish oils, we humans often turn to natural oils such as olive, c oconut and flaxseed. For dogs, this doesn’t quite work the same way. While fish oils contain the long-chain fatty acids DHA and EPA found in Omega 3, plant-based oils have more of the short-chain acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Though ALA is still beneficial to dogs and puppies, they’d have to eat a whole lot of plant-based oil to receive the more potent nutrients found in smaller amounts of salmon oil. Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be made by your pet’s body, so it is vital that your pet consumes them as part of their diet.
