Optimized Omega Balance: Excel Camelina Oil for Horses & Dogs

When it comes to the health of your horse or dog, not all fats are created equal. Omega fatty acids—especially omega-3s and omega-6s—play a critical role in maintaining joint health, coat quality, and overall wellness. But it’s not just about adding omega-3s or omega-6s individually; the ratio between them matters. Excel Camelina Oil provides a carefully balanced source of omegas to support optimal health for both horses and dogs.

Why Omega Balance Matters

Omega-3s are renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties, supporting joint comfort, cardiovascular health, and a glossy coat. Omega-6s, while essential for skin health and immune function, can become pro-inflammatory if consumed in excess. Maintaining the right balance is key to reducing inflammation and supporting long-term wellness in both horses and dogs.

Horses: A proper omega ratio can help reduce inflammation, support muscle recovery, and promote a shiny, healthy coat—whether your horse is a high-performance athlete or enjoying a comfortable retirement.
Dogs: Balanced omegas support mobility, reduce joint stiffness, and keep the coat soft, healthy, and vibrant. Dogs prone to skin sensitivities benefit particularly from the anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3s.

Signs Your Horse or Dog May Need Better Omega Balance

Even with a healthy diet, imbalanced omegas can affect your animals. Watch for:

Dry, flaky, or dull coat
Itchy skin or hotspots
Stiffness or reduced mobility
Slow recovery after exercise
Brittle hooves in horses
