Daily supplementation with Nordic Naturals pet products is a proactive way to help maintain the overall health for your pet companion.Traditionally, Norwegians have used cod liver oil for its nourishing and healthful benefits. It is an ideal source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, as well as naturally occurring vitamin A. Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil continues this tradition by providing your dog and cat patients and companions with these same important nutrients.Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil is derived exclusively from wild Arctic cod (Skrei), from the Norwegian Sea off the Lofoten Islands near Bod, Norway. Due to the seasonal variations of food supply for wild Arctic cod, the amount of vitamin A will fluctuate with each batch. Please refer to the product label for the current amount of vitamin A in the product.Omega-3 Fatty Acids:Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are important fatty acids for humans and their dog and cat companions because they cannot be made in the body. The only source of EPA and DHA for these species is through the diet and/or supplementation.Daily supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids helps support optimal health for your pet companion.EPA and DHA are necessary structural components of cell membranes. These omega-3 fatty acids maintain the cell membrane fluidity and permeability needed for healthy, functioning cells.EPA and DHA are found abundantly in cold-water fish. Flax seed oil contains ALA, another omega-3 fatty acid that requires the body to first convert ALA to EPA and DHA before utilization. Humans and dogs have limited ability to make this conversion, while cats have even less ability to make this conversion. Therefore, supplementation with high-quality omega-3 fish oil is recommended for humans, dogs and cats.Vitamin A:Vitamin A is a fat-soluble and essential vitamin in the diets of dogs and cats, and is found naturally in cod liver oil. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, immune function, fetal development, growth, and cellular differentiation (important for maintaining healthy skin cells, corneal cells, and other cells lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts).The omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) found in fish oil support:Cellular health Immune system health Skin and coat health Joint health Heart health Brain development and maintenance Eye development and maintenanceDietary ConsiderationsFree of Artificial Colors/Flavors1 teaspoon contains:Crude fat (min.) 99.4%Moisture (max.) 0.01%Vitamin A (min.) 230 I.U/tspTotal Omega-3 Fatty Acids* (min.) 25%Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)* (min.) 8%Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)* (min.) 12%Ingredients: cod liver oil, mixed tocopherols (as preservative).Suggested daily use for dogs 20 to over 100 lbs:2039 lbs 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 mL) (189 servings/bottle)184 mg EPA/276 mg DHA/575 mg total omega-3s4059 lbs 1.0 teaspoon (5.0 mL) (94 servings/bottle)368 mg EPA/552 mg DHA/1150 mg total omega-3s6079 lbs 1.5 teaspoons (7.5 mL) (63 servings/bottle)552 mg EPA/828 mg DHA/1725 mg total omega-3s8099 lbs 2.0 teaspoons (10 mL) (47 servings/bottle)736 mg EPA/1104 mg DHA/2300 mg total omega-3s100+ lbs 3.0 teaspoons (15 mL) (31 servings/bottle)1104 mg EPA/1656 mg DHA/3450 mg total omega-3sApply oil onto food, or serve by itself.
