Adding Oil To Your Dogs Nutrition.?

Flaxseed is a vegetarian plant based source of Omega 3 fatty acids, but has far less than salmon oil (about 1/20th). Olive oil contains Omega 9 fatty acids which are not beneficial to their coat. Most likely the manufacturing process destroys any benefits of the flaxseed oil contained in dog kibble. Coconut oil is good as an anti- bacterial, but not beneficial to the coat. I think the best source is probably Salmon oil. You can purchase it at petstores and follow the recommended guidelines. You can also by Omega 3 fish oil capsules with the human supplements (buy the kind not marked odorless). I just poke a pin in the capsule and share it between all of my Yorkies (4 pounds) who take turns licking it as I squeeze. If your dog develops loose stools, cut back on the dosage. Sardines are also a very good source, but expensive and the omega fatty acids become unstable after opening so you can’t refrigerate a can and only give a small portion. My Yorkies do like them, but my Malamute won’t touch them so it is a waste of money in my household because a whole can would be too much for my little ones.
When you are reading labels, look for Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are easily obtained from many sources and do not need to be supplemented.

I don’t give my dogs extra oil as their coats are fine but I give my horse vegetable oil twice a week with her feed to help maintain her coat. You could give the dog this too but you can buy special oils in the pet stores. They are a little more expensive tho.

i have never heard of oil
but if you give him a raw egg once a every two weeks it makes the coat shiny
it works for my dog
but it also make some dogs sick
but that was interesting i never heard of oil
