How to Give Fish Oil Dogs

Fish oil can provide important Omega-3 fatty acids to dogs, supporting skin, coat and joint health. If choosing to supplement with fish oil, speak to your vet about dose based on pet's size. Start small to minimize risk of stomach upset. Offer fish oil by squirting over pet's food or in a treat once daily based on dosage guidelines. Ensure oil is fresh- fish oils contain essential fatty acids that can easily turn rancid. Be vigilant to signs of intolerance like loose stools, itching, vomiting or stomach rumblings. Discontinue and notify vet in such cases.
