Olive Oil??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mrs. chris · 07-26-2006, 07:35 AM

I was wondering if i could put extra virgin olive oil in my baby's food to help her coat? My mom swears by it on her little baby which isn't a yorkie but a min. weenie rat (i rescued the whole litter and gave them to my family). She says it helps her digestion, and makes her coat nice and shiny and really cuts down on shedding. My

coat is sort of dull looking on her body (shag rug) but on her face is very silky.

I have heard of other people giving their dogs olive oil for the coat.

My parents used to put vegetable oil on their yorkie's food to help her skin and coat until they learned about Missing Link Supplement. You sprinkle it on their food and it does wonders for their skin, coat, and it really aids in their digestion and their ability to recover from surgery/injury.

My vet suggested olive oil at one point too - said a lot of patients swear by it. I use the missing link supplement though...
