Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential, which means that they are essential to pet health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, these fatty acids must be obtained from the diet.

Research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive and behavioral function. Omega 6 has the unique ability to aid with various skin conditions and arthritis. Too much however can increase the inflammatory response.

It is important to maintain an appropriate balance of omega-3 and omega-6 in the diet as these two substances work together to promote health. An imbalance in omega-3 and omega-6 EFA’s can contribute to long-term diseases such as heart disease, cancer, asthma, arthritis, and depression.  A healthy diet should consist of roughly nine times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids or a ratio of 9:1. A typical grocery diet tends to contain 11 to 30 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids and many researchers believe this imbalance is a significant factor in the rising rate of inflammatory disorders.

Not only is it important that your pet’s food have the appropriate ratios of EFA’s, but their supplements must also or the quantities in their overall diet can become unbalanced.  You can be confident when supplementing any Horizon formula with Horizon Advantage Multi-Oil, they are designed to complement one another and maintain an optima omega-3 and omega-6 ratio for your pet’s health.
