If you feed your dog or cat a commercially processed diet, there’s a good chance she may have a fatty acid deficiency or imbalance. The outer signs of an omega-3 deficiency in your pet are easy to spot – like itchy, dry skln or a greasy hair or coat. But these fatty acids are crucial for your pet’s immune system, too. Commercial diets tend to be heavy in omega-6 fats because of the use of cheap cereal grain animal feeds, which can offset your pet’s delicate balance of omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are heat-sensitive, so you don’t typically find them in kibble or canned food. Even if pet food manufacturers add them, they tend to not use the right ones for your pet. My favorite source of omega-3s for dogs and cats is marine oils. Krill Oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially the important ones for your pet – DHA and EPA. Our Krill Oil for Pets stands apart from other omega-3 supplements for several reasons. Compared to fish oil, krill: Has a very high absorption rate, so your pet requires a smaller dose. Contains more EPA – about 33% more than fish oil. Delivers its abundant EPA and DHA as phospholipids directly into your pet’s cells. Provides natural antioxidant protection to help guard against oxidation. Is a thriving, sustainable product you can feel good about using. In fact, the fishery that supplies the krill for our Krill Oil for Pets was awarded an “A” rating for sustainability and management strategy – the only one among 24 fisheries to receive a top score! Our fishery uses patent pending technology that helps avoid unwanted by-catch, and the krill are kept alive until processing to maintain freshness and nutrients. You can even trace Krill Oil for Pets back to its sustainable place of harvest using the coordinates on each bottle. There are no messy, oily capsules to cut open with our Krill Oil for Pets. Packed in an airless pump, this advanced delivery system locks freshness in and keeps air and contaminants out. The oil stays fresh until you’ve used the last drop. Plus, our formula is now more concentrated, so you get a higher concentration of Krill Oil per pump, allowing you to use less.

Entirely based on human, food-grade (NOT feed-grade) ingredients, our high-quality pet products are all developed with our three pillars of health approach in mind.

The Three Pillars of Pet Heath

1. Species-appropriate nutrition: Each animal must consume a diet that is biologically appropriate for his or her species.

2. A balanced, functional immune system: The immune system should be able to protect the animal from pathogens, yet not be overactive, leading to things like allergies and autoimmune disease. The key here is balance.

3. A sound, resilient body (frame and organs): Muscle tone should be good; body weight should be optimal; teeth and gums should be healthy; heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and other organs should be working efficiently.

All three of these pillars should be addressed for optimal health.

As you strive to take control of your pet’s health, you can feel safe knowing that each of our products have been thoroughly researched and vetted by Dr. Becker and our team of scientists, engineers and product development specialists so that you can be certain you are purchasing truly premium products to help your pet live their healthiest life possible.
