Animal based fats are essential for dogs. They need fat for energy, to absorb fat soluble vitamins (vitamins E, A and D), protect the nerve fibers in the body and to protect the body from cold. Fat is also the ingredient found in food that makes it tasty for dogs. Fat also contains essential fatty acids, such as omega 6 and omega 3. These help with healthy skin and coat.
