Dr. Mercola | Bark & Whiskers™ Krill Bites for Cats & Dogs (180g, 60 chews)

Dr Karen Becker - Why Krill Oil Is My First Choice for Omega-3 Fats >

Derived from small, shrimp-like creatures called krill, krill oil is my favorite source of omega-3 fats for a number of reasons. To summarize, this unique source of DHA and EPA:

> Contains more EPA than regular fish oil (240 mg/g EPA in krill vs.180 mg/g in fish oil).
> Delivers its abundant EPA and DHA as phospholipids directly into your pet's cells, unlike fish oil's less beneficial free triglycerides form.
> Does not accumulate heavy metals like regular fish oils can.
> Has a very high absorption rate, so your pet typically requires a fraction of the dose of regular fish oil to receive the same benefits.
> Packs along natural antioxidant protection to help guard against oxidation of fragile omega-3 fatty acids and damage from free radicals.
> Contains Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), an important constituent of neuronal membrane phospholipids for optimal nerve blood flow.
> Has been scientifically studied and its plentiful EPA and DHA significantly reduces plasma arachidonic acid (AA).

Krill oil is made from the largest renewable biomass in the world and is a thriving, highly sustainable food source.

Only a small percentage is carefully harvested each year, leaving abundant supplies to feed other creatures, such as whales, penguins, squid and sea birds.

Does your pet enjoy soft, chewy treats?

If so, Bark & Whiskers™ Krill Bites may be an even simpler way to provide your dog or cat with the omega-3 fats he needs.

What makes our Bark & Whiskers™ Krill Bites so unique is not only what they contain but what they don't have in them.

Dr. Joseph Mercola founded Mercola.com in 1997 as a portal for natural health information and resources. It is one of the first health websites established to cater to readers who are interested in holistic medicine.

Around 2007, Dr Mercola wanted to develop and produce a comprehensive natural health product line for pets. For a little over two years, he searched to bring on a holistic veterinarian who shared the same principles and philosophies on natural health that he has. In November of 2009, he reached out to Dr. Karen Becker. Dr Mercola was impressed with Dr Karen’s 20 years of veterinary experience, plus the research of creating protocols for pet products that integrated human-grade ingredients. So with like-minded mission and purpose, Dr. Mercola Healthy Pets was born. Our canine, feline, and even some other of our pet companions can be treated with some of the same heath regimens as humans, with supplements like probiotics and vitamin B just to name a couple, to take control of their health.
