Do you want your dog to have super soft fur?
Does your dog suffer from itchy, dry skin and sore, irritated ears?
Is your elderly dog needing some pain relief for their arthritis and your vet has recommended fish-based pricey Yumove?
Are you concerned that your dog with a heart condition is not getting all the nutrients they need to support their heart?
Are you just wanting to keep your dog’s plant-based diet 100% balanced and you are looking for the healthiest, kindest anti-inflammatory to give?
All you need is to give your dog a daily supplement of Omega 3 Algae oil!
Being a UK based pet owner and a Mum, I have looked for the most cost-effective way to give these anti-inflammatory super-ingredients as I have had owners express concern about giving them to their dogs as they may be too expensive. This really worries me as I want owners to get it right and continue with giving algae oil for the life of their pets.
Anything which is targetted at the dog or pet market will have a much higher price tag. Algae oil used in our pets is the same as that used in us, so it makes far more sense to look for the best and most cost-effective ‘human’ option of Omega 3 algae oil. If it works out as being reasonably priced, then you the owner will give it long term to your pets which is so important for their future health on a plant-based diet.
The Omega 3’s that I recommend you buy for your dog
A little bit more about Omega 3’s in your dog’s diet……
The human and dog body can make most of the types of fats it needs from other fats or raw materials. That isn’t the case for Omega-3 fatty acids . These are essential fats—the body can’t make them from scratch but must get them from food. Most of us know the benefits of Omega 3 acids in our diet. These important acids are DHA, EPA and DPA, carrying a host of benefits, mostly centred around their anti inflammatory nature.
There is a third Omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the most common omega-3 fatty acid in most of our diets. It is found in vegetable oils and nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds, leafy vegetables, and some animal fat, especially in grass-fed animals. These particular plant based forms of Omega 3 are not as reliable for humans and certainly not for dogs, due to ALA needing to be converted into DHA/EPA/DPA, and this does not happen effectively in dogs. Although both plant based, seeds/nuts and algae are NOT the same when it comes to Omega 3 bioavailability – algae contains DHA, EPA, DPA not ALA.
Many companies advertise flaxseed oil as a source of Omega 3’s in their pet food – confusing dogs with people as we absorb flaxseed oil really well, but our dogs don’t – feed algae oil to your dog instead!

A vegan junk food addict
What would I binge on at times when I so badly needed that chocolate, or cheesy snack, or fat-laden pastry?
Co-op Incredible Burgers
Co-op Incredible Burgers are delicious….but they contain palm oil so are they sustainable?
I couldn’t resist buying a Bambone!
Surely just reducing consumer spending on our pet’s food and accessories would have a huge impact on the UK’s overall consumer spend!
