Omega-3 Index for Pets Test Kit | Dr. Ruth Roberts

The Omega-3 Index for Pets Test is a blood test for dogs that measures the amount of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in red blood cells.
 
The Omega-3 Index for Pets Test plays an important role in a three-part process of optimizing the omega 6:3 ratio to help maintain healthy fat levels — an important indicator of overall health.
 
Measure - You won’t know if your patient’s balance of fats is optimal unless they’re measured.
Modify - A low Omega-3 Index can be improved by increasing omega-3 intake.
Monitor - Track how your patient’s dietary changes affect their blood levels by testing regularly.
 
Once you know the omega 6:3 ratio, you can supplement your patient’s diet to modify their Omega-3 Index in as little as 3-4 months.

Heart Health: From a better functioning heart to healthier blood vessels, there are many reasons why people with higher Omega-3 blood levels have better heart health.*

Brain Health: Omega-3s play a role in brain health during every phase of life – from infant brain development to maintaining cognitive function as we age.*

Eye Health: Omega-3 DHA is a main component of eyes and having higher levels of Omega-3s is related to better eye health and visual development.*
