What's so important about Essential Fatty Acids?

Every living cell in the body requires Essential Fatty Acids. They are necessary for rebuilding and producing new cells. They also act as messengers and regulators of numerous body processes. They are necessary for healthy skin and hair, aiding in the regulation of blood pressure, lower cholesterol and help with the effects of arthritis. The brain requires high concentrations of Essential Fatty Acids to function properly. They are also reponsible for the normal healthy function and structure of smooth muscle organs (heart/reproductive system). Heat, either by processing or cooking, destroys Essential Fatty Acids creating free radicals as a result.

Supplementing your pet's diet with EFAs will produce visible results in just a few weeks, including:

A shinier and softer coat
Less shedding
Healthier skin
Fewer fleas
Better tolerance to flea bites and other allergens

Just like humans, your pet will benefit from a diet that is supplemented with Essential Fatty Acids.
