In this episode of the DAFY Podcast, I sit down with Tonje Dominguez, VP Companion & Livestock Health & Nutrition at Aker QRILL Company, to talk about omega-3 for pets, fish oil, krill oil, EPA, DHA and why the source and form of omega-3 you choose for your pet are important.
Many dog owners know omega-3 can support health, but not all omega-3 supplements are the same.
In this conversation, we break down:
- What omega-3 actually means
- The difference between ALA, EPA and DHA
- Why EPA and DHA matter for pets
- How omega-3 can support joints, skin, coat, brain and inflammation
- Why fish oil and krill oil are different
- What bioavailability means
- Why packaging and storage matter for oil quality
- Why sustainability matters when choosing marine ingredients
This episode is about helping dog owners understand how to choose omega-3 more carefully, and the difference between “fish oil” and “krill oil”.
