When it comes to optimal canine health, healthy fats are one of the most important yet misunderstood nutrients. Many pet parents worry that fat will make their dogs gain weight or cause health issues, but the right kinds of fats are essential for:

✔ Joint & mobility support – Fats reduce inflammation and improve flexibility.

✔ A shiny coat & healthy skin – Prevents dry, itchy skin and excessive shedding.

✔ Brain health & cognition – Supports learning and memory in puppies & senior dogs.

✔ Heart health – Certain fats (like omega-3s) help regulate blood pressure & circulation.
