🐶 Is Your Dog Really Getting Enough Omega-3s?
Let’s Talk About It — From One Dog Lover to Another 🐾
By Christa at RawDogFoodComplete.com
I hear it all the time:
“Oh, I give my dog lots of Omega-3!”
But here’s the truth... most people aren’t giving their dogs the right kind of Omega-3.
Let me break it down for you. Because this one little nutrient?
It can make a huge difference in your dog’s skin, joints, brain, and overall health.
🚫 Oils That Do NOT Contain Omega-3, DHA, or EPA:
These are commonly used by pet parents — but they don’t contain the vital fats your dog actually needs:
-
Olive Oil
-
Canola Oil
-
Flaxseed Oil
-
Camelina Oil
-
Coconut Oil
-
Hemp Seed Oil
-
Chia Seed Oil
Sure, they might offer some benefits, but when it comes to real anti-inflammatory support, they fall short. No DHA. No EPA.
✅ Oils That DO Contain Omega-3s (The Right Kind):
These are the winners — they deliver the marine-based Omega-3s your dog needs to thrive:
-
Salmon
-
Sardines
-
Krill
-
Mackerel
-
Adored Beast Potent-Sea (Algae Oil)
→ Third-party tested, no heavy metals, and shelf-stable without turning rancid. 🙌
💡 Why DHA & EPA Matter for Your Dog:
These aren’t just buzzwords. DHA and EPA are essential nutrients that help with:
-
Itchy skin & allergies
-
Joint pain & arthritis
-
Kidney & heart health
-
IBD & digestive support
-
Brain & nervous system function
-
Reducing overall inflammation
I call them “wellness boosters” — because they help dogs look and feel better from the inside out.
⚠️ A Word About Bottled Oils:
Did you know oils sitting too long (even in your fridge!) can go rancid — and actually cause inflammation in your dog’s body?
That’s why I prefer to go with whole food sources or trusted, high-quality marine oils. I know exactly what my dogs are getting — and what they’re not.
🐾 What I Use for My Own Dogs:
I only recommend what I trust for my own pack. You’ll find these on my site:
🛒 RawDogFoodComplete.com
-
Wild Caught Salmon
-
Frozen Whole Sardines
-
Potent-Sea (Adored Beast Algae Oil)
-
Safe-Sea (Four Leaf Rover)
I’m very picky about supplements — so if I carry it, it’s been researched, tested, and used in my own home.
🌿 Christa’s Pro Tip:
To make your dog’s Omega-3 even more powerful, try this combo:
-
Add a few drops of Potent-Sea or Safe-Sea to a small plate
-
Mix in 1/16 tsp of Adored Beast Phytosynergy (pure phytoplankton — rich in antioxidants)
It’s like a green smoothie shot for your dog — and it supports detox, immunity, and cellular repair. 🌊✨
❤️ Final Thoughts — From One Dog Mom to Another:
Feeding Omega-3s the right way isn’t just a “supplement thing.”
It’s a way to thank your dog for the joy, loyalty, and love they give you every single day.
