I have used olive oil without incident in my dogs. Whoever balanced your home cooked diet should be able to talk to you about the olive oil issue.

Personally, I use Omega 3 fatty acids in my dogs diets. They get Nordic Naturals and it has greatly improved the coat of my one dog that is very ill and my second dog who has to be on a severely fat restricted diet for life. The third one does not need it for the coat, but there are so many good reasons for fish oils that I give him one as well.
