Why we believe FISH is the best natural dog
treat ?
First consider the fact that fish is the basic
diet for some dogs because it is an excellent
source of protein. The Indians typically fed
their dogs fish. Dogs in Alaska, Europe and
Scandinavian countries have been fed a fish
based diet for years. In fact, many dogs have
benefited from a diet consisting entirely of
fish. Their ability to work hard (1100 miles is
a long distance), be strong, raise large,
healthy litters and live a long and happy life
gives testimony to the excellent nutritional
benefits of fish.
 You
may also be aware that a large number of dogs
have a hyper-sensitivity to beef, corn, wheat
etc., ingredients that are in most dog foods.
This has led to a number of major dog food
manufacturers to produce a fish and potato diet
which is Veterinarian recommended.
IFEX only uses
Icelandic Trout, Salmon and Cod in their fish
treats and fish pate, only uses Icelandic Salmon
to create one of the most pure oils in the
market today. Our factory is located in the
harbor of Keflavik. The products are
naturally rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
After taking Europe by storm, IFEX dried fish
treats, fish pate and Salmon oil are now
available in the United States exclusively in
partnerships with Iceland Pure.
Recently it’s
been determined that Omega-3s – which come
from fish in the deep, cold, clean waters of
Iceland – contain two remarkable nutrients: EPA
and DHA. These nutrients both thin the blood and
reduce inflammation in the joints and blood
vessels thereby reducing the strain on our
hearts, enhancing easy blood flow to the brain,
and relieving aches and pains. Heart, brain and
joints simply work better and more efficiently –
and who wouldn’t want that? As an added benefit,
Omega-3s also increase HDL levels, the “good”
cholesterol, acting to unclog arteries.
Fish and
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
AHA Recommendation
Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the hearts of
healthy people, and those at high risk of (or
who have) cardiovascular disease.
We recommend feeding your pets fish
(particularly fatty fish) at least two times a
week. Fish is a good source of protein and
doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty
meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake
trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and
salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty
acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). |
