About Chia
Chia is used in pet foods as a plant‑based source of soluble and insoluble fiber, plant protein, antioxidants and omega‑3 fatty acids (primarily ALA), often included to support digestion and skin/coat condition. While chia’s fiber and mucilaginous properties can aid gut motility and hydration, dogs and especially cats convert ALA poorly to EPA/DHA so it should not replace marine sources of long‑chain omega‑3s; it is calorie‑dense and may cause gastrointestinal upset if introduced abruptly or fed in large amounts, so use in moderation.
