What is EPA?

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that can be found in oily fish.

Why is it Important??

Dogs have limited ability to convert ALA into EPA and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Therefore, it is necessary to provide your dog with EPA through their food.

Fish oils are often recommended to provide EPA and DHA, but the best source is found in small, oily fishes.
