Hello, Last Monday, we talked about carbs. Today, we want to discuss another nutrient group that has, shall we say, a ‘mixed’ reputation: fats.
For a dog or any other creature to be labelled ‘fat’ is never a good thing. Fatty food is something we’re told to steer clear of — in our diets and those of our pets. Indeed, the protein-to-fat ratio is a cornerstone of our dog food reviews. But fat isn’t one homogenous
thing. There are many fats, some of which are bad for your dog (and you), and some of which are healthy — even essential to life. That’s why we put together this article: Which fats are healthy for dogs? In it, we speak to Bridget Meadows, Director of Food Engineering at 5-star-rated fresh dog food brand Ollie, and outline which fats you should get into your dog’s diet and which ingredients will provide them.
We talk about the difference betwee omega-3s and omega-6s, what benefits each healthy fat brings and, crucially, the problems your pup could have without those
fats. If you want to try Ollie, you can get 60% off with your first order. You can also read our unbiased review of
Ollie here.
Remember, we’re not paid to promote any dog food brands — each one is reviewed in exactly the same way.
Best wishes, The Dog Food Advisor Team
