Yes, olive oil is good for dogs. So is flaxseed oil, cod liver oil and salmon oil. Olive oil as (for give for terribly misspelling this) olelic fatty acids, the others are high in Omega fatty acids. Some say that the animal oils (fish) are better because they are better synthesized by your dog's body. In addition to adding a nice sheen to coat they also say that these oils have an anti-inflamatory effect on joints! If you do decide to supplment with oils, start slowly adding a tiny teaspood of oil to your dogs food. Too much and you'll have an upset tummy on your hands. |
