Fats are the primary and most digestible source of energy.
Fats:
provide twice as much energy as carbohydrates and proteins.
provide essential fatty acids, which, among other things, are important for a healthy coat and healthy skin (for example,omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids).
ensure that the body can absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K).
contribute to the taste and structure of the food.
A lack of essential fatty acids may result in skin and coat disorders and reproductive problems. Excess fat gets stored in the body and may result in your pet becoming overweight.
