Are Cod Skin Treats Good for Dogs? Benefits of Omega-3 in a Dog's Diet
Have you ever wondered if cod skin treats are good for your dog? Well, in short, the answer is yes!
Below we will explore the benefits of fish skin and why they are a beneficial treat.
Low Fat
Cod skin treats are generally lower in fat than other fish products like sprats, so they are the perfect option for dogs with health conditions like pancreatitis.
Omega-3
Fish is high in omega-3 and this doesn't change with cod skin treats.
So what is omega-3 and why do dogs need it?
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid. Dogs are unable to produce this themselves so require it through their diet. Omega-3 is important for coat and skin health, preventing dry, flaky skin and keeping the coat shiny. It also has anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce itching and skin irritation.
