Yes - I give it to them daily. I homecook and I use Fish Oil, Vit. E, Veg Oil (along with other Vits) in their daily mixture. I also add BioPectin (bulk fiber) and a full 1/2 teaspon of human oral Aloe Vera gel (I buy it from the Vitamin Shoppe) - I feed 2 Yorkies, so in reality, they each get 1/4 teaspoon of the aloe for a full day (I feed them 2x a day).

The Aloe Vera is a nature laxative. TJ goes 2x and Roxy will go 2 to 3x a day. The BioPectin helps to keep the stools formed
