Hey friend,
Seed oils in dog food?
Unfortunately, yes, they are found in several brands—and they can be problematic for dogs.
One major concern is the balance of omega-6 fatty acids.
While these fats are essential, excessive amounts can lead to inflammation and other health issues.
So, why use seed oils as a source of omega-6 despite their drawbacks?
The answer lies in cost-effectiveness.
Seed oils are typically cheaper than other fat sources, allowing manufacturers to reduce production costs.
As a result, you’ll find seed oils in nearly every dog food brand on the market today.
