Why It Is Important?

Essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6, are crucial for a dog's skin, coat, brain, and overall health.

How to Apply to Your Dog?

Provide through omega-rich foods like small fatty fish, including smelt, sardines, herring, and anchovies.

Additional Information?

Dogs require both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in their diet, typically in a ratio of 1:1 to 5:1. Too much omega-6 (common in many diets) can exacerbate inflammation, so balancing with omega-3 is essential.
