Why Dogs Need Omega-3

BRAND-Dog-PhytoSmart
EPA and DHA from whole cell algae reduce inflammation, lubricate joints, and improve mobility for dogs with osteoarthritis.
Omega-3s reduce inflammation, support immune health, and can slow disease progression in these chronic conditions. These benefits are best realized under veterinary supervision. Always consult your veterinary team for your pet's treatment.

Cancer-Related Mechanisms Targeted by PhytoSmart

PhytoSmart targets several specific cancer-related mechanisms in pets by combining algae-derived DHA and broccoli sprouts, which have bioactive compounds known to influence cancer biology through multiple pathways.
Beautiful Happy Brown Dog

Induction of Apoptosis

Sulforaphane (from broccoli sprouts) and DHA (from algae) can trigger programmed cell death in abnormal or cancerous cells, limiting tumor growth.

Inhibition of Tumor Growth & Angiogenesis

Sulforaphane suppresses cancer cell proliferation and prevents tumor blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), slowing progression.

Cellular Detoxification and DNA Protection

Broccoli sprout compounds activate phase II detoxification enzymes (e.g., via the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway) to neutralize carcinogens and protect pet’s cells from DNA damage.

Reduction of Inflammation & Oxidative Stress

Algae-based DHA and broccoli sprout sulforaphane work together to lower systemic inflammation and fight oxidative stress, improving immune resilience against cancer.

Epigenetic Modulation

Sulforaphane inhibits histone deacetylases, helping regulate oncogene and tumor suppressor gene expression and reducing cancer susceptibility.

Improved Response to Cancer Therapies

Omega-3s have been shown to increase the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy and help mitigate cancer-related cachexia and metabolic stress.
PhytoSmart’s synergistic formula is designed to deliver cell-level protection and support, making it a science-driven adjunct in cancer prevention and management for pets. Always consult your veterinary team for your pet’s treatment.

Unique Features and Pancreatitis-Specific Usage

Whole cell algae omega-3s offer high-purity EPA and DHA, ideal for dogs with pancreatitis and GI sensitivity.

How Omega-3s Benefit Dogs

Whole Cell Algae Omega-3s for Pancreatitis:

Unlike fish-derived oils, whole cell algae omega-3s provide highly bioavailable EPA and DHA in a gentler, more digestible form—ideal for dogs with pancreatitis or GI sensitivity.
They help reduce pancreatic inflammation, support immune health, and avoid the digestive discomfort sometimes seen with fish-based products.
Algae based omega-3s modulate inflammatory pathways and support better recovery and long-term management of chronic pancreatitis.

Vegan, Allergy-Friendly, Sustainable:

PhytoSmart’s algae and broccoli sprout formulas are free of fish, fillers, and common allergens, grown in a controlled environment for purity and safety.

DHA for Aging Dogs

Disease States in Senior Dogs & the Role of Phospholipid-Form DHA

Senior and aging dogs are susceptible to a range of cognitive, neurodegenerative, and age-related illnesses, including canine cognitive dysfunction (dementia), memory loss, anxiety, sensory decline, and impaired executive function. Recent evidence suggests that phospholipid-form DHA-such as that found in PhytoSmart whole-cell algal DHA offers the most effective neurological support for these pets.
Canine Cognitive Dysfunction (CCD, Dementia)

Many senior dogs and cats are at risk of developing Canine/Feline cognitive dysfunction - a heartbreaking symptom of aging. Symptoms like confusion, excessive vocalizations - barking and yowling, sleep changes, loss of recognition, inappropriate soiling and anxiety. Stressful and sad for our pets and for us.

Phospholipid-form DHA is more efficiently absorbed into brain cell membranes, sustaining healthy neurotransmission, protecting against amyloid plaque formation, and slowing the progression of cognitive dysfunction. Supplemented dogs may demonstrate preserved learing, memory, and more normalized sleep/wake cycles.

Neurodegeneration & Memory Loss

As dogs get older, their brains and eyes can face several age-related challenges:
Neurodegeneration leads to memory problems and confusion, oxidative stress speeds up cell damage and aging. These processes mirror age-related decline seen in human brains, such as Alzheimers.

Phospholipid DHA is better incorporated into neuronal phospholipids, improving synaptic function and resilience. Supplemented senior pets show better executive function, spatial learning, and working memory, with less decline over time.

Impaired Sensory Processing & Vision Loss

Age-related oxidative stress affects both the retina and the brain, leading to progressive photoreceptor loss that impairs vision and synaptic degradation that disrupts memory, learning, and emotional stability, both of which are strongly linked to declining DHA levels in neuronal and retinal membranes.

DHA in phospholipid form maximizes delivery to sensory tissues, helping senior dogs maintain healthy vision and improved sensory processing.
Mood Disorders & Anxiety
Emotional changes, anxiety, and depression are frequent in elderly dogs.
DHA sustains membrane fluidity and anti-inflammatory signaling in the aging brain, which is linked to reduced mood and behavioral disturbances.

Phospholipid DHA Power

Why Phospholipid-Form DHA is Superior

Phospholipid DHA for Aging Dogs

Phospholipid-bound DHA integrates directly into cell membranes and is more bioavailable than triglyceride DHA (primary component of fish oil). This results in enhanced cognitive and neurological benefits in senior dogs, including improved quality of life and slower age-related decline.

Sharper Memory in Senior Dogs

Studies show senior dogs supplemented with phospholipid DHA display better episodic memory, improved spatial recognition, and less executive dysfunction than those given non-phospholipid forms.

Lasting Benefits for Older Pets

Dogs’ ability to metabolize and use phospholipid DHA does not diminish with age as much as with other forms, making it ideal for older pets.

Summary
Senior dogs with cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, impaired vision, anxiety, and age-related memory loss benefit most from high-bioavailability, phospholipid-form DHA (Found in PhytoSmart Algal DHA food topper or in high quality Krill oil). This form is most efficiently absorbed and utilized by the aging canine brain, supporting cognitive function, mood, sensory health, and slowing disease progression - leading to longer, healthier golden years - Always consult your veterinary team for your pets treatment.
