* Description ( #tabs-1 ) This is an over the counter product - it does not require prescription. Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet Fish Oil Supplement for Dogs and Cats * Omega-3 ty * Oil Derived From 100% Wild Anchovies and Sardines * Fish Body Oil * High Levels of DHA and EPA per Serving * Encapsulated for Convenient Use * Distilled for Purity For centuries, pet diets consisted of natural, unprocessed foods rich in Omega-3 ty s derived from fish, algae, and s. The -promoting Omega-3 ty s found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. They are important for supporting y skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, and eye , as well as a pet’s energy level. While research indicates that a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 of 5:1 to 10:1 is optimal for dogs, many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 ty s from vegetable oils. This results in a highly unbalanced ratio dominated by Omega-6. Some canine and feline diets may include Omega-3 ty s; however, virtually none include satisfactory as of the most important Omega-3 ty s, EPA and DHA. In line with pet recommendations in Scandinavia, we feel it is crucial to give pets quality fish oil every day.

Why Nordic Naturals? Pets Deserve Quality Omega-3 Fish Oils. At Nordic Naturals, we use the same oils and quality standards for the manufacture of both our human and pet products. All of our oils are manufactured in Norway. We adhere to and exceed all quality requirements established by the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and the European copoeia, delivering some of the purest, freshest, and most effective Omega-3 pet oils on the market. Exclusive and Exceptional Raw Material A great finished product starts with the best Nordic Naturals starts with the best raw materials available: fish low on the food chain, which naturally contain low levels of impurities. All of our products are made exclusively from three fish species: Arctic Cod, Anchovies, and Sardines, as they are naturally high in the Omega-3 ty s, EPA and DHA. Not all Cod Liver Oils are created equal Few customers are aware of the fact that most cod liver oil (CLO) products are mostly made from fish other than cod, such as seit or haddock, as Arctic Cod is by far the most expensive raw material available. Since only cod liver contains high levels of naturally occurring s A and D, other cod liver oil manufacturers have to add back synthetic s to standardize the fish oil as cod liver oil. Nordic Naturals uses 100% Arctic Cod for all of its cod liver oil products. Our Arctic Cod Liver Oil contains the highest Omega-3 level of any CLO product, and is tested to ensure y levels of 100% naturally occurring s A and D. Exceptional Freshness Freshness, which ensures product integrity and biological efficacy, may be the single most important quality of fish oils. Nordic Naturals’ patented, oxygen-free manufacturing process delivers peroxide values (indicators of freshness) down to absolute 0.0 mEQ/kg, with an average of 0.75 mEQ/kg or approximately 14 times below the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European copoeia Standard limits. The lower the peroxide value, the fresher the fish oil. Freshness is crucial for several reasons. It eliminates key complaints—fishy taste and repeat. On the physiological level, a low peroxide value prevents free radical formation, which has been shown to have a negative effect on the human body. A low peroxide value may be the key reason why so many humans and their pets, who previously did not benefit from fish oil supplementation, report extraordinary results when using the Nordic Naturals brand. Exceptional Purity Nordic Naturals’ raw material is harvested from some of the cleanest waters in the world, and is tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals and over 210 other environmental contaminants. Heavy Metals Nordic Naturals products show no detectable lead or mercury when tested down to 10 ppb, or 10 times below the Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European copoeia Standard limits. Dioxins and Furans Nordic Naturals oils have been tested down to 0.5 ppt with zero detection of dioxins and furans. The Norwegian Medicinal Standard and European copoeia Standard limits for dioxins are 2 ppt. Analysis is based on the toxicity equivalent testing methodology established by the World Organization (WHO). PCBs Nordic Naturals oils show no detectable PCBs when tested down to 0.5 ppt. The Norwegian Medicinal Standard limit for PCBs is 3 ppt. No Limit has been established by the European copoeia Standard. Analysis is based on the toxicity equivalent testing methodology established by the WHO. Award-Winning Taste The freshness of an oil is revealed by its taste Nordic Naturals has earned a reputation for the best-tasting Omega-3 fish oils on the market. Our oils have been awarded "Best Tasting" three years in a row by the American Culinary Institute. Our exceptionally fresh Omega-3 fish oils have a clean taste, without the unpleasant repeat. This results in a highly palatable oil for both canines and felines, with increased patient compliance. In contrast, rancid oils have a fishy taste and odor, cause repeat, and are harmful to pet by producing free radicals in the body. Third-Party Laboratory Testing and Verification Every batch of Nordic Naturals Omega-3 oils is tested for purity and freshness at NILU in Oslo, Norway. Our finished product is third-party tested by laboratories in the United States and in Canada, verifying purity and freshness levels. Triglyceride versus Ethyl Ester Form We use only the natural triglyceride form of fish oil Triglycerides contain a glycerol back, stabilizing the oil molecules in their natural form. Fish oils in ethyl ester form are highly unstable and rapidly break down during storage. They are prohibited in Sweden and Denmark, and soon in Norway and the UK. Additionally, when fish oils are digested, they are converted into free ty s. After absorption through the epithelial cells, free ty s are immediately converted into triglycerides. If the glycerol back is missing (as they are with ethyl esters), and no other glycerol backs are available, the oil cannot be converted back to triglyceride form. ty s not converted to triglycerides pose an oxidation burden in the form of free radical formation.
