How much salmon oil should I give my dog? How often and how to feed?

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.

Yes, that is fine to give once a day. I recommend a maximum of 750 mg of fish oil per 10 lbs of body weight in a dog. That brand if fine to give. I highly recommend using an omega 3 supplement like this to reduce joint pain and inflammation, and it will help the skin and coat also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Chloe.

Happy Thanksgiving! You give give him fish oil tablets which will be a great source of omega-3 for him. For every 30 pounds of body weight, give him 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined. I hope this helps!

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.

You can give it to dogs, it helps the skin and joints. As it is a supplement and not regulated there is no dosage as such. I would advise you to purchase krill oil made for dogs such as Bonnie and Clyde because you will know that it is safe, the human stuff can have other additives. There will be info on how much to give on the packet.

All the brands should contain the same single ingredient: salmon oil. I would recommend getting one, using it for 6 weeks, and then re-evaluate if it is having the change you are wanting to see. A side effect of salmon oil is loose or greasy stools, which can be limited by using less salmon oil.

Hi and thanks for your post this afternoon. The Tomlyn Nutri Supplement is okay, but the salmon oil with the added D3 and Potassium vitamins can be toxic to dogs. Unless your veterinarian has specifically told you to give the D3 and Potassium Supplement, I would advise against it. Regular Salmon Oil without the added D3 and Potassium (just regular plain Salmon or Fish Oil) would be better then the added extra D3 and Potassium. It is okay to give Salmon Oil (or other Fish Oil) with the Tomyln Nutri, just avoid the D3 and Potassium. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
