Salmon is one of the most important superfoods because it's a rich source protein, omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients. Salmon is wonderful for your dog's skin & coat and offers a variety of functional benefits too. The great taste and excellent health benefits make it one of the dog world's most beloved fish.
Recently the FDA recognized Omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) as essential nutrients for dogs because they play an important role in the development of healthy cell membranes. These fatty acids are long chain, meaning that they contain 20 or more carbon atoms that provide anti-inflammatory benefits and can help promote cognitive function, healthy skin and a shiny coat.
Salmon benefits your dog's skin owing to the presence of fatty acids and vitamin A. These healthy fats improve the skin quality and health. Omega-3 fatty acids work in collaboration with the carotenoid antioxidants of astaxanthin in salmon to reduce free radical damage and that's a very good thing.
The high levels of omega 3 fatty acids are one of the reasons it has earned recognition as a superfood, along with its myriad nutritional benefits including antioxidant elements like selenium and other minerals like phosphorus, zinc, and potassium, as well as the vitamin B group.
Remarkably, salmon is rich in the entire vitamin B group—B3, B5, B7, B6, B9, B12, and so on. Vitamin B complex plays a vital role in maintaining the healthy balance of all bodily functions. The B group of vitamins work co-dependently to turn consumed food into energy, create and repair DNA, and reduce inflammation. Among all the B vitamins, salmon is richest in vitamin B3 (niacin) and vitamin B6. Vitamin B3 helps to lower cholesterol levels, whereas vitamin B6 improves brain health. Salmon also has a good amount of B12 which is vital for the functioning of the brain and nervous system, hormonal balance, and several metabolic functions.
