Omega-3/Antioxidant Formula
A synergistic Approach to Omega Balance and Antioxidant Protection
Recent studies show that today’s dietary ration of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is 25 to 1 in most prepared dog food – while the idea omega balance is 3 to 1.
By giving your dog Hair of the Dog by DocsBlend® to supplement Omega-3 every day, you can achieve the optimum balance for excellent health, superb energy, and glowing skin and coat condition.
During the last 100 years the supply of Omega-3 in diets has decreased 80%, whereas the Omega-6 supply has increased 300%! Excess levels of Omega-6 lead to inflammation-type deceases: arthritis, cancer, heart trouble, atropy (itching) and many other degenerative diseases. Beacause the body uses the same pathwasy to metabolize both Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids, finding the ideal ratio of the two types of fatty acids is important.
How much Omega-3 is enough? Omega-3 comes from fish, flax and animals that have lives on grass and leaves. Omega-6 fatty acids come from corn and animals that have lived mostly on corn. Past research recommended a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 rating between 5 to 1 and 10 to 1. The most up-to-date research suggests a lower ration: between 2 to 1 and 4 to 1.
In this day and age, supplementation with antioxidants to fight free radical and prevent age-related diseases is becoming a necessity rather than a choice.
It takes several weeks after a change in diet before the skin cells absorb an adequate amount of the Omega-3s, so don’t expect immediate results.

This organ’s antioxidant abilities are crucial to life and well being. An overburdened liver, with an insufficient supply of antioxidants, will result in disease and even death.
