1. A quality meat-based diet. Dogs have a large stomach and a short digestive tract designed specifically for digesting meat. Simply put, dogs require meat. 2. Digestive enzymes. Adding digestive enzymes helps the body digest food and absorb nutrients. The result is improved quality of skin and coat, reduction in quantity and odor of stool, enhanced immune system, and decrease in allergies, diarrhea, and stomach upset. 3. Omega 3 fatty acids. These essential supplements help fight cancer, promote healthy skin, add natural luster and shine to your pet's coat, lower cholesterol levels, improve general cardiovascular health, and help reduce joint stiffness, inflammation, tenderness, and fatigue.	1.

Why Does Your Pet Need Enzymes? Enzymes are catalysts for every process in the body. Whether it is weight loss, eliminating high cholesterol, breaking down excess protein in tumors, or treating digestive problems, enzymes come to the rescue! Benefits of Enzymes: Increases T-Cell (cancer fighting cell) production and activity within a short period after digestion. Raises white cell blood count. Contains over 77 Ionic minerals. Promotes weight loss. Strengthens the immune system. Improves nutritional absorption and energy level. Reduces hunger cravings, the risk of degenerative disease, cholesterol, plaque build up and toxins in the body. Enables the body to obtain nutrients from food. Therefore, without digestive enzymes, even the most nutritious foods will not be of any use to the body. Pets’ diets (full of processed food and foods unnatural to them) strain the digestive system, making the addition of digestive enzymes even more important.	What Does “Essential Fatty Acid” Mean? An essential fatty acid is one that must be supplied in the diet because it cannot be manufactured by the body. The essential fatty acid for dogs is linoleic acid. Essential fatty acids for cats are linoleic acid and arachadonic acid What Are The Best Sources of The Essential Omega 3 Fatty Acid, Alpha-Linolenic Acid? Flax seed is 50% alpha-linolenic acid. Chia and Kukui (candlenut) oils are 30%. Hemp seed oil, 20%. Pumpkin seed oil, from 0-15%. Canola oil, 10%. Walnut oil, 3-11%. Soybean oil, 5-7%. These products contain Omega 3 fatty acid: 1-800-PetMeds Brite Coat XS, Missing Link, Derm Caps, 3V Caps, and Lipiderm. Dogs and Cats – Fatty Acid Differences Cats cannot convert flax oil or alpha linolenic acid to EPA and DHA; they require fish oils that already contain EPA and DHA. Dogs can convert linolenic acid to EPA and DHA, but this conversion becomes inefficient with age. It benefits all cats and older, or sick, dogs to have EPA and DHA supplied directly with fish oils.
