I have read, time and again, that consuming sufficient amounts of omega 3s during the first weeks of development has long-lasting positive effects on the mental acuity of puppies. Also, not to split hairs here, but there are other equally useful forms of omega 3s for puppies to ingest that aren't from fish. Fish tend to contain heavy metals such as mercury, and fish get their high concentrations of omega 3s from another source - algae. So, for those who are concerned about their puppies ingesting heavy metals, I suggest looking for a DHA supplement with algae, such as Cranimals (which is what my puppy gets fed). as the owner of a really cute black lab puppy, I have done my research on omega-3s and their importance for dogs and cats. one very important thing that omega 3s do for puppies that was not mentioned in the article is aid in their brain’s development!
