Can I give my dog human calamari oil with lemon flavoring safely?

Since this is considered "off label use", as this is not a product designed specifically for dogs, your veterinarian would be the one to direct your specific dog in terms of using this product since its "off-label." To adhere to my veterinary license, I cannot advise off-label doses for a patient I have not examined and a client that I have not met. However, I will tell you that I would tell my clients that this is generally a safe product to give a 50 pound lab once a day. You may notice some increased gas/flatulence, and a "fishy" odor to his breath. If you notice any vomiting, diarrhea or decreased appetite, get him in to see your vet and discontinue use.

Good morning Ms Yeung! I would not give this supplement to Mochu if it contains D3. Too much vitamin D can be toxic to dogs, as it causes hypercalcemia (increased blood calcium) which can lead to kidney failure, haemorrhage, and tissue mineralization in the heart, liver and kidneys. She will be getting all the vitamin D she needs from her food, and too much will not be good for her. It's fine to give her Omega 3 supplements, but make sure they don't contain extra vitamin D. With the omega fatty acids, she can have 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight. I hope this helps :-)

I would not recommend this strength for a chihuhua and recommend either a smaller strength capsule such as viacutan or a liquid supplement which you can measure more accurately. Excess of any supplementation is undesirable and he would be effectively receiving 3-4 times the recommended amount

It is used in products marketed as supplements for dogs. The plant itself produces alkaloids that have been toxic in several species of grazing animals, but these compounds are removed during processing, so the oil itself does not contain them. I have found nothing that would indicate that it would harm a dog. However, if your dog is not allergic, fish oil supplements for pets or fish-based foods (Hills Prescription Diet z/d) are a proven method of providing more Omega-3 supplementation.

No , Omega 3 fatty acids in the amount present in vitamin supplements should not adversely affect your dog. However I strongly advise that you consult with your veterinarian about giving him this supplement as your vet knows your dog and his medical history and would be more qualified that us to decide whether a multivitamin supplement is detrimental to your dog or even necessary.

Yes human fish oil is fine to give to Bobby and you can put it in his food. Do not give him too much, as he's already eating a salmon based food and will be getting fish oil from there. Too much fish oil causes problems.

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach. Great question! No, it is best to not use human vitamin supplements. They are not balanced for dogs and you could end up overdosing Max on certain vitamins/minerals that can cause a lot of problems. It is recommended you use supplements made for dogs. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
