I use fish oil daily for both pups...it was recommended by my vet for not only better skin/coat but also helps with joint inflammation. I used to supplement the pups with small amounts of coconut oil but now I use that more for topical stuff like minor skin irritations and things like that (really fabulous stuff to have on hand for both pups and humans).

For other health issues, I also do joint supplements (currently Cosequin) for Toki due to hip/knee issues...I'm not sure if they actually help but it certainly doesn't hurt and she's doing great. And we also give Toki denamarin or milk thistle as well for her mild MVD...helps with repairing and protecting the liver...her liver values at check-ups ever since we started that have been good!

But with Teddy who doesn't have any kind of health issues (except dry skin in the winter), I just feed high quality foods and supplement with the fish oil...nothing fancy
