Why is marine omega 3 far superior to plant oils like Flax oil

The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish  are vital to  good health. However, many owners have been led to believe that they'll get these same fatty acids from oils like hemp, flaxseed, primrose, and borage.

However these  products do not contain EPA and DHA, which are the omega 3 fatty acids that have been shown to produce all of the incredible results. Fish is nature's richest source of these two incredible fatty acids.

When we look at oils like flaxseed oil from a nutritional point-of-view,  we find it only provides part of the story.  While it's true that flaxseed contains the omega 3 fatty acid called ALA , a pre-curser to EPA and DHA, recent studies have shown that the conversion rate in the body is so low (0.05%-0.2%) as to be insufficient to fulfil our dogs needs.

In fact some recent reseach in Human medicine highlights this:-

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Vol. 77: 226-233 - 2003). A group of women were given 15,000 mg of flaxseed oil (ALA) daily. At the end of 12 weeks not one of the participants had an increase of EPA or DHA within their blood plasma or the red blood cells. So why would anyone substitute flaxseed oil for fish oil when the research is proving that it does absolutely nothing to increase the levels of EPA and DHA in the body?

What about Cod Liver Oil as an alternative


While cod liver oil contains EPA and DHA fatty acids (although not in such great quantity as Salmon oil), it is also rich in Vitamins D and A.  In fact it is too rich,  and can lead to a surfeit of these vitamins which can be harmful to your dog when fed over a long period of time.  Trimega contains the right amounts of vitamins A and D for long term feeding.

What about the Omega added to some premium dog foods.


Well, it’s a nice idea - but just take a look at the quantity added. There is just not enough - and even when it’s a fish oil rather than flax oil, Omega 3 in dried kibble type  dog food tends to degrade because of its exposure to air.
