I want to give my dog fish oil supp. He is 30 pounds. How much mg should I give him and what brand.?

Answer 1

Timberwolf Organics or Aunt Jeni's. It will say on the label how much to give. You should consult your vet first before giving any supplement, to see if he/she thinks your dog could use it. If you give unnecessary supplements that could actually be harmful to your dog's health!

Answer 2

1-2 capsules a day is fine. If you go to Sam's Club, you can get the kind that has the mercury, dioxin, and PCBs distilled out. I believe it's the enteric coated type, but look on the bottle. It's around $10 or so. Try to get it from sardines instead of salmon or other fish for a few reasons. First, the salmon population is overfished in many areas. Second, the sardine is a herbivore and therefore the heavy metals, PCBs, etc will not be as bioaccumulative. They still have similar omega 3 levels though. If you want a real concentrated omega 3 fish oil supplement, try the stuff below by IVX.

Also make sure you supplement with vitamin E too (200 IUE should be fine) because the body naturally uses up more vitamin E as it breaks down the fish oil.

Answer 3

I give my GSD Salmon oil, there are several people who supply this and the doze is always on the bottle. Take care with other oils and "Google" for advice.

Answer 4

Try Timber Wolf. It's a little pricey, but excellent quality:

Answer 5

Go to a holistic store, they sell salmon oil. It's a good one I've tried it before (i can't think of the dang name!). I would also recommend end a high quality food if you don't already. My dog is super picky but he loves Orijen.

Answer 6

google Grizzly Salmon Oil.
It comes in a pump bottle, so no pills to shove down. You can just give one squirt over the dogs food. They love it!
