4 Reasons You Should Be Giving Your Dog A Krill Supplement

| October 13, 2017

The benefits of fish oil for dogs are well known.  It’s known to be great for skin and joint health. Did you know that krill has even more benefits for your dog than fish oil?

Let’s take a look at 4 reasons you should be giving your dog a krill supplement. You might be surprised at all the benefits your dog has been missing out on!

#1 – It improves your dog’s overall health

Krill has a variety of different health benefits for dogs. It strengthens their immune system. It can improve their skin and coat. It can reduce your dog’s allergies. And it’s great for their joints and brain!

#2 – Krill is more sustainable than fish 

Krill is the largest biomass in the world, and the harvesting of it is tightly regulated, with only 1-2% of the biomass allowed to be harvested each year. That makes it more sustainable than fish oil, so it’s better for the planet.

#3 – It’s more potent than fish oil

Krill oil is more potent and the nutrients therein are more easily absorbed than fish oil, meaning less is required to get the same benefits. Studies have shown that krill oil is up to 48 times more potent than fish oil.

#4 – Krill contains fewer pollutants than fish

Krill eat phytoplankton, so they are much less likely to be contaminated by pollutants and heavy metals than animals that are higher up the food chain. That makes krill a much safer alternative to fish, which absorb all the pollutants from the other fish they have eaten – a process called bioaccumulation.

How can I add krill to my dog’s diet?

If you’d you like to test what effects krill oil can have on your dog, we’d encourage you to try a krill based product such as the RxVitamins Krill Sticks (available on Amazon Prime)They contain a high concentration of powerful Omega-3’s (you only have to give your dog one every other day). In addition, it doubles as a dental chew and helps keep your dog’s teeth free of plaque and tartar.
