If you don't eat meat, you probably want vegetarian omega 3 sources. The good news is that there are definitely vegetarian options out there, so you don't have to worry that your health will suffer.

If you're like me, the phrase omega 3 for dogs might not have jumped immediately into your mind when you got your pet. Don't get me wrong: I love my little monster on four legs, and I only want what's best for him, nutritionally and otherwise. But it honestly never occurred to me that, just like people, dogs might gain omega 3 benefits, too.

In reality, the omega 3 dogs consume in nature is probably a lot higher than even the healthiest human diet, since it consists of so much fresh game (ie, only fresh game -- with the occasional gross where-did-you-find-that thrown in for good measure). So it shouldn't really come as a shock that omega 3 for dogs is just as important as it is for humans.

Until recently, no one talked about omega 3 for dogs. We barely knew people needed the stuff, much less animals. But it turns out that domesticated animals, especially dogs, are just as omega 3 deficient as their human counterparts.

It makes sense if you think about it. People are not getting the omega 3 we should because our diets have changed. The same is true of dogs. Prepackaged dog food is not going to have the same omega 3 content as birds and other small animals a dog eats in the wild. And like people food, modern dog food is heavily processed and contains a very heavy balance of omega 6 oils.

If you don't have omega 3 for kids, they might be missing out. Numerous studies show the benefits of omega 3 fatty oils on both adults and children, but kids in particular seem to benefit from any nutritional supplement. That's because kids are still growing.
