They\u2019re \u2018essential\u2019 because they can\u2019t be made in the body \u2013 they need to come from food.

Its benefits include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cell maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Essential fatty acids provide the building blocks for cell maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organ health <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Omega-3 supports kidney, eye and liver health. Omega-3 from fish oils is also good for the heart; it\u2019s been shown to reduce arrhythmia and has an anti-inflammatory effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glossy coat<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Foods that are rich in omega-3 \u2013 or more specifically, ALA \u2013 help keep your dog\u2019s coat shiny and oh-so-cuddly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Healthy skin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The immune-boosting properties of ALA support your dog\u2019s natural skin defences, to improve dry skin, dandruff and many other skin problems. It also helps your dog fight off skin infections and parasites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Immune system <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Immune support is another big benefit of omega-3. If your dog\u2019s a puppy, a senior, or recovering from illness, they\u2019re more vulnerable to infection and inflammation \u2013 making omega-3 even more important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joint support<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies show omega-3 oils can improve activity and performance in <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/health\/joint-care\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dogs with osteoarthriti<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">s<\/span>.

The specific benefits of DHA for puppies include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1) <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Immune system<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DHA helps to boost your puppy\u2019s immune system and improves their response to vaccinations. This is crucial at a time when their immune system is immature, but they\u2019re ready to explore the world \u2013 and all its germs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before they\u2019re weaned, puppies get DHA from their mother\u2019s milk. Once they move on to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">puppy food<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, it\u2019s important to make sure they get enough DHA from their diet. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mental development<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Studies show dogs who get the right level of omega-3 as puppies grow up to be more sociable and better at learning. The results make compelling reading: puppies who are given DHA omega-3 are happier, more confident, and better adjusted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We make sure tails.com puppies get the full benefits of DHA by always including high-quality sources, like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">salmon oil,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in their feeding plan until they\u2019re 14 weeks old \u2013 often older.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Related blog:<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2016\/10\/19\/superfoods-for-super-dogs-enhancing-your-dogs-intelligence-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 5 of the best superfoods to enhance your dog\u2019s intelligence<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eye health<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A diet that\u2019s rich in omega-3 supports your puppy\u2019s rapidly developing vision.

But more omega-3 doesn\u2019t necessarily mean more reward \u2013 in fact, too much can be as bad as too little. That\u2019s partly down to how omega-3 interacts with another essential fatty acid: omega-6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Omega-3 has an anti-inflammatory effect. Omega-6 has inflammatory properties. Both are beneficial to your dog\u2019s health, but they can stop each other working efficiently, so balance is key. If you add more omega-3 to your dog\u2019s diet, you may need to add more omega-6 too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a tailored feeding plan from tails.com, you can be sure you\u2019re giving your dog the right ratio \u2013 somewhere between 10:1 and 3:1, depending on your dog\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Got questions about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">omega-3 for dogs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?
