Two of our favorite ingredients at Ultra Oil for Pets are: Anchovies and Sardines. As far as fish goes, anchovies and sardines often go overlooked. Most are unaware that both offer several nutritional benefits. These two species fall at the bottom of the food chain, meaning that they  contain the highest omega, yet lowest mercury and heavy metal levels of the vast majority of fish in the sea. 

Both anchovies and sardines contain large amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), better known as Omega-3 Fatty Acids. According to the Mayo Clinic, EPA and DHA:

• positively affect the immune system
• aid in relieving itchy/dry skin
• reduce inflammation and joint pain
• promote proper brain function

All of these factors directly contribute to the overall health of our pets.

At Ultra Oil for Pets, we are proud to say that not only have we included anchovies and sardines in our products, but we have also implemented a conscious sourcing process for our fish-related ingredients. Our company works closely with a fishery in Peru, where regulations are tight and the fish population has remained stable throughout the last decade. The fishery maintains very sustainable and humane fishing practices, using saline nets that are specially designed to exclusively catch smaller fish. This means that dolphins and larger water mammals are kept out of harm's way.

In comparison to most fish oil supplements on the market, Ultra Oil offers greater holistic and deeper healing properties. Our products contain a healthy balance of not only Omega 3 and Omega 6, but also Omega 9. Many fish oil supplements include an improper amount of Omega 9, which leaves Omega 3 and Omega 6 unable to be fully absorbed. Our products provide relief to irritated skin and noticeable reduction of inflammation, all without the unbearable anchovy and sardine odor normally associated with fish oil. When choosing a supplement, it is important to remember that all omegas work together in order to be properly absorbed by the body.
