An oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant.

Why It Is Important?

Safflower oil, which is high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, has been associated with several health concerns in dogs.

How to Apply to Your Dog?

Its high linoleic acid levels and lack of omega-3s make it less beneficial than healthier fat sources, such as small fatty fish.

Additional Information?

High omega-6 content and an imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio can contribute to health concerns in dogs, including kidney issues, elevated cholesterol, and immune system imbalance.
