There are many reasons to love salmon – it’s tasty, versatile, and most importantly, highly nutritious. Rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and high in protein, research suggests numerous benefits of salmon consumption, including helping to decrease inflammation, improve joint mobility, promote skin health and support brain function.
But did you know studies have also shown that salmon has the very same health advantages for pets? Just as salmon is a superfood for humans, it pays to make this nutrient-dense, oily fish a fixture in our pets’ diets.
However, that doesn‘t mean you have to start stocking your supermarket trolley with extra fillets of fresh salmon for the benefit of your fur babies — the good news is there’s a pet food brand that uses King Salmon as its number one ingredient. Made from fish raised in the clean, clear waters of the Marlborough Sounds, Omega Plus is a 100% New Zealand-made salmon superfood supported by vets, approved by pets. Available for cats and dogs, the Omega Plus range includes a wide selection of wet and dry foods in a variety of flavours, as well as delicious, single-ingredient pet treats and oil supplements. Each product is chock-full with the goodness of premium New Zealand King Salmon, an easily digestible protein that helps support healthy organs and lean muscles.
For our pets to lead healthy lifestyles, they need a balance of two essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6. The science shows that the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is less than 4:1, which is what Omega Plus products provide. A diet high in omega-6s but low in omega-3s has been linked to increased inflammation, which can lead to autoimmune diseases like diabetes, arthritis, psoriasis and eczema.
The Omega Plus range provides the ideal proportions of the two fatty acids and therefore offers our pets a balanced diet. All the Omega Plus recipes are formulated without GMOs (genetically modified organisms) – instead using ingredients from natural sources. Omega Plus is part of the trusted New Zealand King Salmon group of brands, which also includes Regal Marlborough King Salmon, Southern Ocean and chef brand Ora King. New Zealand King Salmon has been sustainably farming salmon for more than 20 years, supplying highest quality fresh and smoked King Salmon to Aotearoa and the world.
Omega Plus forms part of New Zealand King Salmon’s commitment to caring for the environment, with the products made from the King Salmon that otherwise would have gone to waste from its other brands.
The team at Omega Plus are self-professed animal lovers who believe our pets should benefit from world-class King Salmon just as we do. They believe in an all-natural diet full of high-quality protein to optimise the health of our pets.
They follow the science and source nature’s finest ingredients to create formulations that improve and maintain every aspect of our pet’s health.
After all, our pets bring us so much joy – they deserve to be fed as well as we feed ourselves.
Omega Plus pet food can be purchased at all good supermarkets, Animates, Pet.co.nz and Pet Direct. Find stockists at omegaplus.co.nz/where-to-buy/
