你有在餵寵物Omega 3，但你有在餵椰子油嗎？如果你沒有，你或許該重新思考這樣的餵食模式了，因為研究顯示，添加中鏈三酸甘油脂於寵物的飲食中，可以幫助寵物身體對於Omega 3的利用率，同時可增加大腦內Omega 3 的濃度 (Taha et al., 2009)。
還想知道必須在飲食中添加椰子油的其他理由？如果說椰子油能讓聰明的狗狗更加聰明呢！？椰子油已經經過科學證實，確定可以改善狗狗的大腦功能，特別是老狗。以米格魯犬為實驗對象的研究證實，在牠們的飲食中添加中鏈三酸甘油脂，可以明顯改善認知學習能力。短短兩週的中鏈三酸甘油脂補充，狗狗的學習能力有明顯改善。
但是，你擔心或網路有謠傳椰子油對狗狗是不好的？別擔心。研究顯示，椰子油的餵食量即使高達每日飲食的10%或是低於10%，都還不會對狗狗的消化系統或其他健康狀況造成影響。研究來源：Dr. Jean Dodds' Hemopet, Petlifeline, Hemolife & Nutriscan, Canine Nutrigenomics (Aldrich,2009)。
OMEGA-3 + COCONUT OIL = BFFs
Are you giving your pet omega-3s but skipping out on the coconut oil? You may want to re-consider as research shows that adding the MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) to your dog’s diet “[h]elps the body use essential omega-3 fatty acids more efficiently and increase omega-3 concentrations in the brain.” (Taha et al. (2009)
Looking for another reason to add coconut oil to your pet’s diet?
How about it will make your smart pup even smarter! Coconut oil is scientifically proven to be able to improve brain function in dogs, especially the older ones.
A study conducted on beagles that were fed a diet supplemented with MCTs, showed their cognitive ability improved significantly. The dogs showed improvement in learning-related tasks after only about two weeks of consuming the supplemented diet!
But maybe you read somewhere on the Internet that coconut oil was bad for dogs? Don’t worry.
Studies in dogs show that coconut oil fed as 10% or less of a dog’s diet poses no digestive or other health issues. - Dr. Jean Dodds' Hemopet, Petlifeline, Hemolife & Nutriscan, Canine Nutrigenomics (Aldrich,2009)
P.S. – Please make sure when using a source of omega-3s, it is a clean source as research is showing most products on the market are full of toxins!
