How to Give a Dog Fish Oil

Fish oil is healthy for dogs.

Fish oil is a healthy supplement for humans, but it can also be a great benefit for dogs. It results in a healthy coat and lowers cholesterol. This supplement has been used for dog and cat allergies for years and vets have discovered that it is very beneficial for healthy canines. Dogs are smaller than humans, which can make giving fish oil complicated, but in proper doses it can help a dog remain healthy.

Instructions

1. Measure the size of the dog. Each dog needs a different dosage and it is important to give the appropriate amount. Some vets will have fish oil supplements for dogs in appropriate doses, or you can give it through real fish.

2. Put the fish oil in regular food. Give liquid fish oil supplements that you can pour or squirt over the dog food. Pills can be hard to get the dog to eat.

3. Give the dog fish, but avoid giving the fish liver to any dog that is eating store-bought dry foods to avoid overdosing. The regular fish without the liver is usually fine, but should be given in small amounts.
