Why does the Fuss and Friends Daily Wellness tincture contain Omega-3 fatty acids in addition to the cannabis?
There are numerous health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, in dogs and cats. Certain health conditions known to benefit from omega-3 fatty acid supplementation are related to skin allergies, joints, kidneys, and the heart. Many breeds prone to these conditions may benefit from daily omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. Fish oils are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids because they provide long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Fuss and Friends Daily Wellness tincture uses 100% all natural Triglyceride (TG) EPA and DHA Omega 3s which are ocean friendly, sustainably sourced, Icelantic wild caught fish oil. The Daily Wellness Tinctures are non-GMO, gluten-free, contain no toxins, and are triple lab tested for potency and impurities.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important throughout the life of your beloved dogs and cats. A number of studies and research articles

show DHA is very important for normal neurological (brain) development in both puppies and kittens.
One of the key functions of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA is supporting
the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response. Dogs and cats can suffer from numerous inflammatory conditions that can affect their health and well-being.
In addition, EPA promotes healthy triglyceride (fat) levels within the blood of dogs. According to the Wedny Blount, DVM, dogs can have increased fat in their blood, which is called hyperlipidemia, in the form of both triglycerides and cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce plasma triglycerides by decreasing production of VLDL (very low density lipoproteins). This should be first line therapy. Fish oil also can be beneficial for dogs with glomerular (kidney) disease, arthritis and skin problems.
Finally, essential fatty acid supplementation is known to maintain general skin and coat quality in dogs and cats. Healthy skin and coat is known to be a natural allergy defense for your pets. When the skin is healthy, its natural barrier function against allergens (pollens, dust mites, molds) improves, minimizing the allergic reaction that can cause itching, hot spots and dry skin.
You may start to notice results such as softer, shinier coats, less allergy symptoms-scratching, itching, and redness of the skin, within 2-3 weeks. Research shows that fatty acid levels reach a steady state within about one month of starting supplementation. In healthy dogs and cats, outwardly noticeable effects may not be readily apparent, but omega-3 fatty acid supplementation will help to maintain overall health. Results vary for every pet. Consistency in giving your pet omega-3s is key to seeing results. Always consult your veterinarian prior to beginning any supplement regiment.
