However, omega-6s are often consumed in higher amounts than omega-3s. Omega-3s are commonly associated with fish consumption, but modern aquaculture produces fish that are lower in omega-3s than wild fish.\u003csup\u003e1 \u003c\/sup\u003eThis has the potential to create nutritional gaps, which can be improved through supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids important for cats and dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have shown that consuming a balanced amount of Omega-6\/Omega-3 fatty acids can provide a number of health benefits.\u003csup\u003e2-5\u003c\/sup\u003e However, many dogs and cats tend to consume diets that are higher in omega-6 fatty acids. This is partly because grains and oils rich in omega-6s have been largely used in feed for farm animals, which has led to production of meat and eggs rich in omega-6s and poor in omega-3s.\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e In addition, modern aquaculture produces fish that contain lower levels of omega-3s than wild fish.\u003csup\u003e1 \u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"isPasted\"\u003e1. van Vliet T, Katan MB.
