| Olive oil? I read somewhere that I could give our little guy olive oil for his dry skin. I know omega 3 is good, but is olive oil okay to use as well? |

| Olive oil is very good for their skin and coat and so is fish oil. You can buy the Omega 3 & 6 gel caps and squeeze about 5 drops on a tiny bit of nummy real food, making sure he gets it all. I home cook for mine and I fry up round steak in the olive oil, I also use it when I cook up the brown rice.
