I use the oil for all my Yorkies. The dosage recommendation I've seen is 1 tsp per 10 pounds of body weight daily. I go a little less than that for mine. They say to start with a smaller dose to avoid loose stools. I've been using it for about 6 weeks and have seen a noticable improvement in the skin texture and coat luster in all mine. I liked the results so much that I started taking it myself. I take 1 tbsp daily. Flax has many health benefits beyond just skin and hair. I haven't used the seed yet but have seen recipes online that include flax seed. Right now, Puritan's Pride vitamins has a good sale on flaxseed oil. It's the best price I've found anywhere. Revival Animal Health has it for about $7.50 for 16 oz. but right now Puritan's Pride has a better price.
