Fish Oil Benefits For Dogs – Healthy Dog Food Recipe with Salmon and Vegetables

Fish oil provides many benefits for dogs as well as people. A healthy dog food diet will provide two to three servings of beneficial cold-water fish weekly. The healthy dog food recipe below uses salmon to provide omega-3 fatty acids to dogs and includes vegetables for additional vitamins and nutrients.
Benefits of Fish Oil for DogsFor many years veterinarians have recommended feeding fish oil to treat canine allergies and skin conditions. New research is showing that omega-3 fatty acids in the form of fish oil are good for preventing and treating a wide variety of canine diseases.
Older dogs suffering from arthritis will especially benefit from the healing properties of fish oils. The anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for treating the itching and inflammation associated with allergy-related skin conditions.
Supplementing Your Dogs Diet with Fish Oil
You can purchase fish oil supplements for animals, but why not just add cold water fish to your dogs diet? When fish is fed as part of the normal canine diet, there is no need to worry about proper dosing for your dogs size. Dogs will naturally get the proper amount as part of their normal dietary requirements.
Salmon and other cold water fish are high in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Feeding two servings a week of a high quality homemade dog food containing salmon as a protein source should be sufficient for most dogs. If your dog is suffering from arthritis, kidney failure, skin diseases or other inflammatory diseases, add a fish oil supplement to your dogs daily supplements.
See Benefits in Six to Eight Weeks
As with most nutritional therapies, it will take a while to notice changes in your pets health. Allow at least six to eight weeks of regular omega-3 therapy to evaluate the benefits for your pet.
Consult your veterinarian about your dogs specific needs and dosage. You vet can best advise you about your dogs special nutrient needs.
Salmon and Vegetable Meal Recipe
This Salmon and Rice Meal recipe is balanced to provide protein, vegetables and starches. Use the fish with the bones and juices included. The bones are pressure cooked during the canning process and are soft enough that dogs can eat them with no problem. The bones contain calcium and additional nutrients.

2 large potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 cup mixed vegetables, cooked and minced or processed
Seasonings to taste
Mix all together. Moisten with additional broth or water if needed. Since all the ingredients are cooked, no additional cooking is required.
