Benefits of Hemp Seed Oil for Dogs and Cats

Perfect balance of natural Omega 3, 6, & 9

The secret to Hemp seed oil's health benefits lies in the perfectly balanced of naturally occurring Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, mineral and Chlorophyll. In more science speak, the Omega ratio is 3:1 of Omega-6 to Omega-3 – which is the gold standard ratio. Striking the correct omega balance is essential as it helps the body absorb nutrients more effectively.

Physiologically dogs are unable to produce their own omega essential fatty acids naturally and must take in the essential amino acids (building blocks of Omega oils and other essential enzymes) through a well-balanced diet. Omega fatty acids can support regulation of blood pressure and inflammatory response and offer a range of other benefits such as: soothing common skin irritation, allergies, improving cognitive function, promoting joint health and supporting coat health.

Improves skin and coat health

The inclusion of hemp seed oil in a dog’s daily diet has been shown to lead to healthy skin and coat. Hemp seed oil helps to reduce uncomfortable skin conditions such as: eczema, dandruff, dry nose, rashes and atopic dermatitis that causes that uncomfortable itch and rash for your dog.

Hemp seed oil can also be applied topically directly on hairless skin. Either direct or within a high quality hemp seed oil shampoo and leave in conditioner such as the Hempooch range, this will soothe the cause of common skin irritation in dogs.

High in antioxidants

Hemp seed oil is a natural powerhouse packed with nutrients like chlorophyll, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Specifically hemp seed oil contains a high concentration of multiple antioxidant– which is important for immunity, disease prevention, cell renewal and the functioning of many organs in the body.
