How to support your dog’s nervous system?

The nervous system is made up of specialized cells that control the body’s activity using electrochemical signals. It can be divided into the central (central) and peripheral systems.

The central nervous system consists of:

• the brain (cerebrum and brain stem) located in the skull, which is responsible for analyzing signals from the body, controlling organs and muscles, and thought processes,
• the spinal cord, a plexus of nerves running through the spinal canal inside the spine, which transmits nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

The delicate tissues of the central nervous system are protected by bones (skull and vertebrae) and surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which protects them from mechanical injuries.

The peripheral nervous system consists of ganglia and peripheral nerves that transmit nerve impulses between organs, muscles, and the spinal cord.

Omega-3 fatty acids in a dog’s diet

A dog’s nervous system contains a large amount of lipids, including the polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA, making their supply crucial to its health. As dogs age, DHA content in their brains decreases. Changes in DHA metabolism and its decreasing amount in the brain are thought to contribute to the decline in cognitive abilities in dogs that progresses with age. Scientific studies have shown that DHA inhibits neuronal apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases and in the aging process in dogs.

In addition, a deficiency in omega-3 acids can lead to reduced resistance to stress and increased aggression in dogs. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are also important in the diet of pregnant and lactating bitches and puppies. EPA and DHA play a key role in the proper development of the nervous system in dogs.

Supplementing the diet of pregnant and nursing bitches and puppies with omega-3 fatty acids from fish has a beneficial effect on cognitive and motor skills. DHA is also essential for the proper development of the visual organ in puppies, which is confirmed by published scientific studies.
