What kind of food is this?
Oil taken from salmon. Our listed values are 13023mg EPA and 18232mg DHA per 100g.
EPA and DHA are long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. They become part of cell membranes and, through lipid mediators made in the body, are involved in the systems that regulate inflammatory responses. In dogs they are also studied in areas such as skin, coat, and joints.
The alpha-linolenic acid in plant oils must be converted to EPA and DHA inside the body. The big difference with salmon oil is that it contains EPA and DHA from the start.
EPA and DHA content varies widely by product, so in day-to-day use, go by the label values of your product.
How to serve
Do not heat it; add it as a finishing touch to food that has cooled. It oxidizes easily with heat, light, and air, so follow the storage instructions on the product and do not use any that smells off.
