A lot of people think that fats are bad for their
pets health however, some amount of fat is
considered as a vital element to their good
health. Fats help produce over twice the amount
of energy compared to protein and carbohydrate.
It is said that all fats are made of fatty acids.
Fatty acids are considered as building blocks of
different types of fats. As your dogs body
cannot synthesize the essential fatty acids so it
should be a part of their daily diet. Essential
fatty acids promote healthy skin and coat and are
said to play an important role in cell membranes,
immune system, and circulatory system. These
essential fatty acids include Omega-3 and
Omega-6. Omega-3 is found in both plant and fish
so it is important to consume from both the
sources to obtain a good balance. Now, Omega-6 is
found in most plant and animal fats and oils
including chicken fat and canola oil.
