Not sure if this is the right section & i apologize if this is the wrong one. Was mentioned today about adding fish oil to the dogs food. How much should we add & how many times a day do we add it?? Also is it just plain fish oil pills like we humans take??
Thank you both. I wasn't sure if she meant fish oil tablets like we get in the vitamin section or what. I know fish oil is good for the skin & coat of a dog. Will have to check our local Petsmart. I think I should get a job there as much as I am in that store. LOL
I have been giving my girls coconut oil for about a week now. They think its a big treat because I feed it to them off a spoon. LOL! But, I cannot believe the difference in Quinn's shedding already. It's probably been cut in half!! Amazing!
I give Salmon oil daily. Yes, its the same stuff that you get in the pharmacy. I purchase mine from Costco. When giving fish oil you should also give vitamin E.
My guys get 2000mg ( 2 capsules ) with 400UI of vitamin E
If you happen to see this, what kind do you get? I was looking online and there are a few different ones. I believe I'm going to get the Omega Pure Alaska one as its the only cold pressed I believe. Just wondering which one you get?
Now to figure out how much to give. I see most Fish oil comes in 1000mg pills. Murphy is currently 23.5 pounds & Pheona is 48 pounds. Any ideas?? And if I give the Vitamin E, how much of that??
Stopped at Petsmart tonight & found a fish oil with Vitamin E in with it. Thinking it might be cheaper to buy regular fish oil & the Vitamin E. Will have to remember this one.
I don't know but you might be able to buy it in liquid form?? My pug cross is 24 pounds and I give her one a day. You could probably even do every other day... I think the key is for it to balance out.
Hi there. I just poke a small hole in the fish oil capsule and drizzle it on her food at breakie time. We both take the same kind. It's called Natures Bounty Omega 3 fish oil 1200 mg. I buy it at Walmart.
Good luck 😄
I get a fish oil, coconut oil combo called ShEmp Oil. I have in the past just used a regular capsule that we would take but the ShEmp oil is a nice combo for my pups.
