Dehydrated Capelin

These tasty little fish are sure to be a huge treat for your dog, or cat! They are packed with Omega 3 and 6 healthy oils, which contributes to your pet's shiny coat, and aids in their immune system. Capelins are also a great source of calcium, phosphorous, iodine, taurine, and selenium, which is crucial for the overall health of your pet.

Capelins can also benefit the teeth and oral health of our smaller breed pets by preventing plaque buildup, and gently brushing away food buildup through their natural chewing action, while their small size also makes it ideal for a high reward training treat for the larger dog breeds!

The Nitty Gritty:

Omega-3, and 6: The fats found in Omega-3 and 6 are beneficial for brain health, for both developing puppies, and seniors. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help improve overall cardiac health, as well as improving joint health; increasing mobility and reducing pain for those with arthritis, or potentially reducing the severity of future joint issues.

Calcium: Calcium is the major building block for bones, and the skeletal system, but it is also essential to numerous roles throughout the body. It plays a role in all muscle contraction from the leg muscles, to the cardiac muscle of the heart; as well as promoting wound healing through coagulation.

Phosphorus: Works with Calcium to help maintain the integrity of your pup’s bones, and teeth. Phosphorus also forms phosphates by combining with other minerals which aids in the regulation of normal bodily functions; such as fusing with protein and lipids to form membranes in the body. It also helps with the structural framework of RNA, and DNA.

Iodine: A trace mineral that cannot be created within the body, making it a vital addition to their diet. It is essential for healthy thyroid function, which supports a healthy metabolism, protein synthesis, and enzymatic function. Also aids in the removal of heavy metals in the body such as mercury. It has also been shown for cancer prevention through a process called apoptosis, which is essentially the self-destruction of cancer cells.

Taurine: It is an amino acid, which is a basic building block of protein. Taurine’s function in tissue is to stabilize cell membranes, as well as assisting the movement of minerals in, and out of cells.

Selenium: A vital trace mineral that coordinates the functions of general metabolism, particularly normal thyroid activity. It is also an antioxidant that is involved in DNA synthesis, and has potential to prevent cancers.
