Omega Canine Shine™ Product Details

“Quality of skin and hair coat is noticeably healthier looking...less flaking...less dryness. Found positive effect in cutting down on acral licks—areas growing hair... inflammation going down. I am putting any dogs with any reproductive problems on the products. Repeat buyers... virtually everyone that we put on Omega Canine Shine™ comes back... picking up two bags instead of one. I can talk anybody into trying a free sample, but when they come back to buy, I know it’s working!”
- Robert Brown, DVM, Jackson Veterinary Clinic, Jackson, WI

“Really like the product...so much more palatable than oil supplements... cost effective... well received...doing a good job on coat and shine. We’ve had very good results with the supplement...has virtually replaced Derm Caps, 3-V Caps and EFA-Z.”
- Bill J. McDougal, DVM, Veterinary Allergy & Dermatology Referral Clinic, Houston, TX

Recent scientific studies show that in most dog foods (even the premium varieties) the dietary ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is 25 to 1. *Nutritionists agree that the ideal dietary ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 (to achieve and maintain optimal health) should be in the range of 1 to 1 to 3 to 1. The reason, according to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, in her book, "The Omega Plan", is that during the last 100 years the supply of Omega-6 in diets has increased 300%, whereas the supply of Omega-3 in diets has decreased 80%! She's found that eating a balanced diet, including the right fats, is the key to good health and longevity for animals and humans. Getting enough Omega-3 fats is key, she says.

By supplementing your dog's food with Omega Canine Shine every day, you can easily achieve an ideal omega balance of 3 to 1 for your pet.

• Optimal levels of Omega-6 and Omega-3: To promote the proper ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3, Omega Canine Shine combines ENRECO® Stabilized Ground Fortified Flax Seed with other natural ingredients – stabilized rice bran, ground sorghum seeds, herbs, spices and refined fish oil - to provide the optimal method of achieving the ideal balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 levels in your pet's diet.

• "Short chain" and "long chain" Omega-3: To speed assimilation, animals need "short chain" LNA as well as "long chain" EPA and DHA. Omega Canine Shine has stabilized ground fortified flax seed to provide "short chain" Omega-3 and refined, medicinal-grade fish oil (not Menhaden) to provide "long chain" Omega-3.

• Antioxidants from natural sources: To prevent fats from becoming rancid, thereby preventing damage to your pet's chromosomes - Omega Canine Shine contains high levels of four different antioxidants: Lignans, Tocotrienols, Polyphenols, Oryzanol and Tocopherols.

• Fiber: Soluble and Insoluble: To encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria, animal diets need to include soluble fiber. To encourage proper stool action, animal diets need insoluble fiber.

• Magnesium: Hypomagnesium is the most common electrolyte abnormality in critically ill canines, according to Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine.

*A 3-to-1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is the ideal balance based on scientific studies done by: Dr. William Lands, the leading Omega-6 and Omega-3 researcher in the U.S., NIAAA, Bethesda, Maryland Dr. Michael James, Rheumatology expert, Royal Adelaide Hospital, South Australia, Dr. Joseph Hibbeln, respected Omega-6 and Omega-3 researcher, NIAAA, Rockville, Maryland, Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, Center of Genetics, Nutrition & Health, Washington, D.C., author of "The Omega Plan".

“Omega Fields® has an awesome product called Omega Canine Shine™. We are truly amazed at how fast this product started enhancing our dogs’ overall coat appearance and energy levels. We started feeding Omega Canine Shine™ to our dogs and within 5-8 days their coats are soft, shiny, and we have seen less shedding in the house. What is even better is our 8 year old dog is back to wanting to play ball with our 3 1/2 year old dog, Logan. The energy that has come back in our older dog is amazing. She is going after balls like when she was a youngster. Our dogs love the taste of Omega Canine Shine™—as soon as we open the pouch to feed them, they run circles and can’t wait to be fed. Thank you Omega Fields® for providing canine lovers with such a wonderful product. Logan is proud to be an official Omega Fields® ambassador.”

You can have confidence in the Premium, Human-Grade, Non-GMO, 99.9% Pure, Stabilized, Ground, Fortified Flax we use in our Omega Horseshine® formula. Please see several reasons below why ENRECO®, INC.'s (Omega Fields' parent company) Stabilized Ground Flax is the best ground flax seed for dogs on the market today.

• Proprietary stabilization technology provides a stable, ground, fortified flaxseed composition as a rich source of Omega-3 in the diet.
• Proprietary stabilization technology binds (chelates) the naturally-occurring lignans (powerful antioxidants) in the flax seed to those wonderful Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Therefore, when the flax seeds are ground, the antioxidants serve to protect the integrity of the essential fatty acids for a full twelve months.
• Proprietary stabilization technology includes the inclusion of B-6 and Zinc when the seeds are going through the grinding process. Flax seed contains a natural B-6 antagonist, so B-6 needs to be added to ground flax. B-6 and Zinc not only enhance the stabilization of the essential fatty acids, but also fortify the ground flax seed with the nutrients used by the body when flax seed is being metabolized

Oxygen as a molecule is essential for life on earth. Without its presence, animals would not survive for more than a few minutes. Yet oxygen is a double-edged sword; as its existence gives life, so does it slowly take it away, by a process know as "oxidation" -- the very process by which all things decay, and "return to dust". Almost every substance on earth is subject to attack and decay from oxygen.

In animals, scientists believe free radicals play an important role in the initiation and promotion of cancer, cataract, arthritis and other degenerative diseases. Exposure to environmental perils, such as chemicals in petfoods, pollution or irradiation, eventually increases the free radicals beyond the ability of the organism's defense system to cope with it.

Free radicals are highly reactive forms of oxygen that damage cells throughout the body. As a dog's body creates energy at the cellular level, oxygen is metabolized, changing its structure. In this process, the oxygen molecule loses one electron, turning it into a free radical. Free radicals are inherently unstable, since they contain "extra" energy. To reduce their energy load, free radicals react with certain cells in the body, interfering with the cells' ability to function normally.

To reduce their energy load, free radicals react with certain cells in the body, interfering with the cells' ability to function normally.

The natural mechanism which protects us from free radicals weakens with age. Therefore, older dogs, dogs on prescriptions, and very active dogs, are more susceptible to degenerative diseases -- including cancer, heart disease, arthritis and cataracts. In today's high-stress world, our best friends are exposed to many stresses - chemical preservatives in dog food, anxiety, breeding, hunting, showing -- creating damaging free radicals at an ever-earlier age.

Standing as the major defender against harmful free radicals is glutathione, your dog's own antioxidant, along with his liver - as the primary detoxifier of harmful chemicals both consumed and produced in the body. This organ's antioxidant abilities are crucial to life and well-being. An overburdened liver, with insufficient supply of antioxidants, will result in disease and even death.

In this day and age, supplementation with antioxidants to fight free radicals and prevent age-related diseases is becoming a necessity rather than a choice.
