MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
is essential for horses, cats, dogs, and other pets too
The essential fatty acids (EFAs) found
in MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
are fundamentally important for all animals. EFAs play a major
role in the maintenance of healthy coat and skin for cats, dogs,
and horses. Cell membranes in the animals' skin, fur, nails and
hair are made from essential fatty acids. Like humans, animals
also use EFAs to produce hormone-like substances called
eicosanoids, which are involved in many important biological
functions in the body. For example, some eicosanoids act as
natural anti-inflammatory agents. Dietary fat is also an
essential energy source for all animals. Because EFAs are
obtained exclusively through dietary intake, the health of cats,
dogs, and other animals is dependent on obtaining enough
essential fatty acids in the food we give them.
Deficiencies of essential fatty acids do occur in animals, and
this may be related to their diet, or may be due to certain
health conditions or diseases. We have good intentions when we
feed our pets low-fat dry foods or home-prepared meals. However,
these diets may lack sufficient quantities of EFAs. EFA
deficiency in pets may also be caused by impaired fat absorption
or impaired utilization of fatty acids, which may occur with
disease of the pancreas or liver. Some animals may also be prone
to deficiency because of metabolic differences. For instance,
cats have low or no activity of the crucial enzymes that
metabolize EFAs. This results in reduced utilization of the
parent fatty acids. Consequently, cats are highly dependent on
dietary EFAs to meet their requirements.
EFA deficiencies in pets result in problems of the coat, skin,
and coloration. Symptoms include dry, greasy or dull hair coat,
dry skin and "dandruff", hair loss, sores, itching, inflammation
in the ears, slow wound healing, reduced growth rate, and loss
of weight.
Conditions related to EFA deficiency include eczema, dermatitis,
and recurrent seasonal pruritus. Allergies also often lead to
skin problems, such as poor coat texture, itching, scratching,
constant licking, and self mutilation. Because skin
problems are so common with deficiencies of EFAs, EFA deficiency
is sometimes referred to as fat-responsive dermatosis.
Veterinarians often advocate the use of flax as routine
supplements for dogs or cats with non-specific skin problems.
They conclude that flax is an inexpensive way to offer animals
numerous benefits with no risk.
MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
Supplementation offers clear benefits for your pets
You can give real benefits to your cat or dog with MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
- in particular for conditions characterized by itching and
inflammation. Supplementation with flax
has been used successfully in the prevention and treatment of
many skin conditions in cats, dogs, horses and other animals.
MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
can reduce inflammation in other areas of the body as well, such
as inflammation of the joints that can lead to pain, swelling
and stiffness. Research in both animals and humans is showing
that flax may help many other conditions as well, such as
diabetic neuropathy, atherosclerosis, hypertension,
cardiovascular disease, and aging.
MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax can
provide easily absorbable vitamins,
minerals and
enzymes while providing muscle-building
protein, carbohydrates,
soluble and insoluble fiber and
essential fatty acids for your pets.
Providing your pets with MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
is easy
Veterinarians have been recommending flax supplementation for
cats, dogs, horses and other pets for more than a decade. Many
premium pet food manufacturers incorporate flax
into their premium quality pet foods for dogs, cats and other
animals.
In order to ensure proper levels of essential
fatty acids, lignans,
fiber, enzymes,
vitamins and
minerals, pet owners should also supplement their pet's diet
themselves with MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax.
Look for high quality oils such as borage, flax, and fish oil,
either in bottled or capsule form. Dogs, cats and horses love
the taste of MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax.
Simply mix it into their food (1/2 tablespoon for every 25
pounds) at each meal. Supplementation with MegaOmega™ Organic Sprouted Flax
can help animals achieve a soft, silky, shiny, and healthy coat
that is indicative of good health.
