WENAEWE provides the right balance of essential fatty acids. Fatty acids are the main components of fats and are divided into saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated. Since the pets body produces naturally both saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, neither of them are necessary for the pets diet. However, two polyunsaturated fatty acids (PFA), Linoleic Acid (Omega 6 family and Linolenic Acid (Omega 3 family), are not produced by the body and therefore need to be provided in the diet. These two substances are known as essential fatty acids.

These essential fatty acids are important to maintain the health of the membrane surrounding all the cells in the body and to produce prostaglandins that regulate many corporal processes. For example, they regulate inflammation and blood coagulation. These essential fatty acids are also necessary to enable the correct assimilation of Liposoluble Vitamins (A,D.E.and K), and to regulate the metabolic processing of cholesterol.

WENAWE contains the scientifically recommended ratio of 4 parts of Omega 6 fatty acids to 1 part of Omega 3. This optimal relationship between all these fatty acids has many beneficial effects upon your dogs, perhaps the most visible are the healthy shine in their coat and the flexibility of their skin.

Organic vegetables and seeds as well as unrefined canola and sunflower oils make WENAEWE a rich source of naturally occurring Linoleic Acid.

The Organic Canola Oil in WENAEWE is unrefined first cold pressed. It is extracted mechanically, rather than chemically to avoid contact of the oil with any chemical substances that might alter their structure or contaminate it. The final product is wholesome, easy to digest and has a pleasant mild flavor.
Of all the vegetable oils, Organic Canola Oil has the lowest percentage of saturated fatty acids (7%), it is high in monounsaturated fatty acids (61 %), and contains moderate amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (22 %). Polyunsaturated fatty acids in Canola oil provide both Omega and Omega 6 fatty acids, which are essential for the maintenance of cell structure, and hormonal function. In addition, Canola oil is a rich source of Vitamin E.

Flax oil contains double the concentration of Omega 3 than the most commonly publicized source: fish oil. Both flax and canola are excellent sources of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Our diet contains a ratio of 4 parts of Omega 6 fatty acids to 1 part of Omega 3. This is the recommended ratio for an optimum dietary intake of essential fatty acids.

Organic Flax is a rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids. These help maintain the dog's skin and coat shiny and flexible. Flaxseeds are rich in fiber which is essential for a healthy digestive system. They also contain anti-oxidants which prevent damage to cells and tissues. The combined actions of its Omega 3 fatty acids, fiber and lignin actively prevent heart disease. There is scientific proof that adding Organic Flax Seed to a diet helps fight LDL Cholesterol (bad cholesterol), which is responsible for the clogging of arteries.

Among all the fatty acids the ones in the Omega 9 family are the only naturally stable ones which makes them excellent agents to stabilize the flavor, aroma, and texture of foods.
The High-Oleic Sunflower Oil in WENAEWE's formula is unrefined and obtained mechanically through first cold pressing. Thanks to this minimal processing, the oil is free from contamination with fenolic compounds connected to solvents used in chemical processing. High-Oleic Sunflower Oil contains more than 77% of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids. It provides a higher amount of Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil, which makes it a powerful anti-oxidant.
