Help! My dog has diarrhoea
And that can be very annoying. For you, but also for your dog. Diarrhoea in dogs can have different causes and therefore different solutions. In this article, we will tell you what to do if your dog has diarrhoea.
Fatty acids for dogs' resistance and development
Omega-3 fatty acids like EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are essential for good immunity, healthy skin and shiny coat. But also for brain and eye development in young dogs. Salmon oil is full of EPA and DHA. We therefore recommend salmon oil as a supplement to the regular diet in breeding, pregnant, lactating and older dogs, among others.
Omega-3 fatty acids explained
The Omega-3 acid DHA functions as a barrier to unwanted substances and is found in high concentrations in the brain and in nerve tissue. The acid EPA is indispensable for connecting hormone substances with a variety of biological functions.
Because regular daily food for dogs contains more Omega-6 fatty acids than Omega-3 fatty acids, the balance between these fatty acids can be disturbed. This imbalance can have a negative impact on your pet's health. Adding salmon oil to dog food improves the balance, strengthening the immune system and increasing energy levels.
When do you use salmon oil?
Certainly slightly more vulnerable dogs benefit from (extra) salmon oil. Consider:
-
- Skin: dry and irritated skin, red and bald patches and flakes
- Coat: extreme hair loss and a dull coat
- Vitality: older dogs that have difficulty moving and/or lack energy
- Taste: dogs that seem to have little or no appetite
- Heart: at increased risk of heart disease
- Operations: faster recovery after surgery and strengthening the immune system (often recommended by the vet)
When is sheep fat recommended?
Sheep fat is a natural and healthy supplement for dogs that can be used for health improvement. This is because it contributes to a healthy gastrointestinal system. The essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals found in sheep fat sit, keep the coat shiny, healthy and free of eczema and help improve the immune system. Even the digestive system, joints and natural molting period are positively supported.
This is what sheep fat provides:
-
- Healthy skin
- Stronger bones
- Better health
- Improved resistance
- Optimised gut flora
- Shinier coat
The perfect combination: duo oil
Because we know that some dogs benefit from extra salmon oil as well as sheep fat, we have combined these products in our duo oil. This is available separately as Premium - Salmon oil/Sheep fat, to be used as an addition to regular food. Salmon oil and sheep fat are both a healthy addition to regular dog food, but can also definitely be used as good taste enhancers. So for dogs that have some difficulty eating, this is the perfect addition. If you have any questions about adding salmon oil and/or sheep fat to your dog's diet, please take contact with us. Our staff will be happy to advise you.
