What plants naturally have Omega-3 fatty acids?
Comments (2)There's quite a few others, Chia seed (Salvia hispanica), kiwi and walnuts also have high levels of omega 3. A number of seeds, fruit and kelp all contain it, but amounts vary....See MoreWhat plants naturally have Omega-3 fatty acids?
Comments (5)These are ALAs, not omega-3s. it takes enormous amounts of ALAs to produce any omega-3s and then it doesn't produce the best ratios of DHA or EPA. If they did, I'd stop eating salmon or taking fish oil. There's a great chart of it I found in a vegan book. Forgot the name of the book, but it was by two female vegan nutrionists with degrees....See MoreWhat plants naturally have Omega-3 fatty acids?
Comments (9)I'll second Purslane (which is a weed in many parts of the country, though there are cultivated varieties available from European seed sources) Also check out Flax seeds. In fact, if I recall correctly (and I'll admit its been a while) many seeds contain Omega 3 oils, just not necessarily in as high quantities as the previously mentioned plants) ~Chills...See MoreOmega 6 & 3 amounts for dogs
Comments (2)The thing with commercial foods is that they contain grain which are a huge source of Omega 6. Even meats these days are grain fed (if you're lucky) instead of free range, like they are meant to be. This is why Omega 3 supplementation becomes important. What dosage of fish oil are you using? The standard dosage is 1000 mg per 30 lbs of dog's weight, but for health problems (such as arthritis or allergies) you can go up to 1000 mg per 10 lbs of body weight. Typical capsules that you buy at the pharmacy are 1000 mg each, so that makes dosage much easier. Personally, I use the capsules instead of the liquid because it's so much easier. I am able to buy them at any pharmacy which is less expensive, currently we're using the Costco ones. Also, much less messy and my dogs eat them like they are treats, although the first time I had to poke the gelcap with a pin and squeeze some out to show them that there was good stuff inside. My dogs eat a raw diet, so I give these to them after their meal - they consider it dessert. If you feed a kibble you can just toss the capsules in the bowl. Do you know what she is allergic to? If it's a food allergy then just switching to the right food may help with the itchiness. Not too much you can do if it's environmental, and I'm guessing you have already eliminated cleaners and pesticides from around the house? One of my dogs gets very itchy in late fall, once winter gets here she is back to normal - but there isn't much we can do to avoid the cause of the problem....See Moredaisychain01
