Dogs and cats on a special diet often need some extra support, as their ailments usually demand quite a lot from their bodies. Even if it doesn't seem immediately necessary, that extra support can give a good boost to their health preventively.<\/p>

One such need is to strengthen the skin and coat condition. Our food contributes to this through the presence of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in the right balance and through the additional addition of zinc<\/p>

What are Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and zinc? And how do they work.<\/p>

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids: <\/strong>
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are\u00a0essential fatty acids<\/em>, which means that animals (like humans, for that matter) cannot produce these fats themselves. So they have to come in through food. These fatty acids are a kind of building blocks that help in all kinds of important processes in the body.<\/p>

Omega-6:
<\/strong>Omega-6 fatty acids are found in vegetable oils, such as sunflower oil and corn oil, and in animal fats. They are best known for their role in supporting the skin barrier.<\/p>

  • Hydration<\/strong>: Omega-6 helps the skin retain moisture. Hydrated skin means less chance of flakes and a dry coat.<\/li>
  • Repairer<\/strong>: If your pet has a wound or irritation, Omega-6 plays a role in the healing process. It stimulates skin cells to renew themselves.<\/li><\/ul>

    Omega-3:
    <\/strong>Omega-3 fatty acids are mainly found in oily fish (such as salmon), flaxseed and algae. They have a somewhat different role than Omega-6, but are just as important.<\/p>

    • Anti-scratch<\/strong>: Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory. If your dog or cat suffers from itching, allergies or red skin, these fatty acids can help calm things down.<\/li>
    • Gloss guaranteed<\/strong>: This fatty acid supports the production of natural oils in the skin, which in turn ensures a shiny, healthy coat.<\/li><\/ul>

      Right balance
      <\/strong>Here comes the key point: Omega-3 and Omega-6 work together as a team, but if there is too much Omega-6, it can worsen inflammation. Omega-3 helps to redress that balance. In pet food, a ratio of about 5:1 (Omega-6:Omega-3) is often recommended. However, many feed brands have too much Omega-6 and too little Omega-3<\/p>

      Zinc
      <\/strong>Zinc is an essential mineral, which means your animal must get it through food because the body cannot make it itself. It is a kind of all-rounder that helps build, grow and repair tissues.<\/p>

      Zinc can be found in meat, fish and egg. For skin and coat, zinc is especially important because it:<\/p>

      • Keeps skin healthy<\/strong>: It strengthens the skin barrier and makes the skin retain moisture better.<\/li>
      • Preventing hair loss<\/strong>: Zinc deficiency can lead to excessive hair loss and a dull coat.<\/li>
      • Flakes reduced<\/strong>: Zinc helps prevent dry skin and flaking.<\/li>
      • Skin problems cures<\/strong>: It promotes the recovery of wounds, irritations and inflammations.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
