Why?

Dogs & cats have strict dietary requirements for certain polyunsaturated fatty acids that are important for maintaining skin and hair coat conditions, reproductive function & tissue repair.
Current research shows that Omega-3 fatty acids also play an important role in mediating and regulating inflammatory, immune & aggregatory responses within the body. EPA is believed by experts to have a sparing effect on COX inhibitors/NSAIDS.
Omega-3 offers considerable potential for disease prevention and in the therapeutic management of a wide variety of clinical disorders.
Subsequently, Omega-3 supplements have been used in veterinary trials, predominately in animals with inflammatory and immune-based conditions, with very favorable clinical responses.

Omega-3 supplements may be beneficial to the following conditions:

Dermatologic Diseases: Seasonal allergies, food allergies, flea bite allergy, seborrhea complex, pyoderma, dry & dull coats. They may help to support healthy skin & coat.
Inflammation: They may help to reduce inflammation.
Degenerative Joint Disease: Hip dysplasia, arthritis
Neoplasia
Thromboembolic Disease (dogs)
Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex
Behavioral Disorders: They may help to improve neurologic development and cognitive ability.
Kidney, Liver, Bladder, and Cardiac Problems: They may help to support cardiac health, normal heart rhythm and maintain normal renal function.
