Is one 1000mg HUMAN gel of fish oil going to hurt them? Harlie is 4lbs now and Rylie is 6lbs. I know dogs can have fish oil, but I don't know if they can have the human kind. Vet is closed today. Help??? I THINK I took it with lunch, but I am not 100% positive. The pups don't smell like fish and are acting completely normal.
I imagine they couldn't have swallowed it without chewing right? I don't see any signs of the gel.
I looked up the dosing and it is supposed to be 20mg per pound of body weight, meaning the 1000mg gel was WAY too much for either of them. I can't find anything online saying it is toxic or bad for them unless it has vitamin A or E in it (which mine do NOT).
I really think I took it with lunch, but this is me being a worry wart mama. |
I can't answer your specific question but I can tell you that my dog Daisy who is 8 lbs takes 1000 mg of fish oil (omega 3) as a therapeutic dose. The normal dosing on her product is 1000 mg per 20 lbs of body weight. She takes a higher therapeutic dose every day when on her home cooked regime.
