Fats (Lipids) are the primary source of energy for dogs. Oil sources are essential for levels of both Omega 6 and Omega 3 for dogs. They are also beneficial for overall health, aiding bodily systems such as the skin and digestive tract. We have taken into consideration both the source/ingredient for fat and oil in the foods and scored them according to digestibility and quality.
Oil sources benefit dogs greatly due to their Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Added Oil supplements in raw food help support brain development and promote healthy skin and coat.
Vegetable and Animal Oils are both from large groups and they can range from ok to very poor sources of Omega 3 and 6.
Rapeseed and Canola are plant oils which contain a lower level of Omega 3 and 6. Unnamed fish, insect and meat oils are vague, and it is difficult to determine the digestibility or Omega content of these ingredients.
Sunflower and Safflower Oil are average-quality oils that contain some Omega 3 and 6 but not enough in concentration to match higher-quality alternatives.
Flax, Linseed, Chicken Oil, Coconut and Olive are all great quality digestible oils that contain good levels of Omega 3 and 6.
Named Fish Oil, Named Insect Oils (Black Soldier Fly Grubs), Algae Oils and Green Lipped Mussels provide fantastic digestible sources of Omega 3 and 6.
