Omega-3 Fish Oil for Pets

We know you think of your pet as a family member, and want what is best for them. Animals need a balanced diet just as humans do. Omega-3 fatty acids are a tremendously important part of this diet. Omege-3's are considered to be "essential" meaning they are necessary to animal health, but which the animal cannot produce on their own. Research has shown benefits in a variety of areas including;

• Immunity
• Bones and joints
• Skin and coat
• Trainability
• Brain and eye development
• Reproductive functions
• Heart rate during exercise
• Cardiovascular functions and breathing
• Overall heart health

Menhaden oil is considered a perfect source of omega-3 because they are a clean fatty fish, rich in EPA and DHA long chain fatty acids. EPA and DHA are the basic components for the benefits mentioned above. Omega-3 fatty acids found in plant oils come primarily in the form of ALA, which then must be converted before any benefit is derived. This conversion rate is extremely low, making fish oil much more efficient.

We have two versions of fish oil specially formulated for pets; Virginia Prime Gold and Virginia Prime Platinum. We have one and five gallon containers available, as well as bulk orders. For more information please visit our Omega Protein website through the links above.
