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.
Oil sources are essential for levels of both Omega 6 and Omega 3 for cats. They are also beneficial for overall health, aiding bodily systems such as the skin and digestive tract. Oils play a significant role in palatability of dry foods, so getting the balance is very important as cats can be picky when choosing a food.
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.
