Pet
health and Canola oil
Is Canola oil safe for pet health? The answer is YES. Before
being approved for food use, canola oil was
required to go through stringent animal feeding
trials to ensure it was a safe edible product for
pet health.
A great deal of research has been done which shows the
benefits of incorporating canola oil into human
diets and well as organic dog food.
The low level of saturates, high level of
monosaturates, and intermediate levels of both
essential fatty acids give canola oil a very
attractive fatty acid profile for cat
food.
When
used as part of a balanced diet, canola has been
shown to lower blood cholesterol levels and has a
beneficial effect on clot formation, thereby
decreasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Canola oil contains 7% saturated fat
compared to, for example, 15% for olive oil, 19%
from peanut oil and 12% for sunflower oil.
Canola Oil is good for pet health, and can reduce the effects
of pet
allergies.
