Salmon Oil Raw Food - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Does anyone here that feeds raw put salmon oil on the raw food. I have Laya on NV venison medallions, but her skin seems a little dry. I thought salmon oil might help, but can I put it on the raw food?

It should be ok...maybe someone else will chime in

Yes, you can put it on the raw medallions. I used to when I first started feeding the NV raw but I stopped when I ran out of oil. Fortunately the improved diet really seemed to help Alex's dry skin & I haven't really needed the oil since.

Yes, you can. I feed raw and I use fish oil - I like Ark Natural's Royal Coat bc it is not just fish oil (EPA/DHA), but also contains borage oil, which has the fatty acids ALA and LA, which are particularly beneficial for skin. Also, it already has the Vit E in it, so you don't have to also get another supplement of E for giving the fish oil (you always need E when giving fish oil).

Thanks for the reply. I will try the salmon oil. Sometimes I wonder if the dry skin is because I am bathing her too much. I bathe her once a week, but if I go any longer she stinks. LOL

Ok great, I will try that brand. Why do you need E with fish oil?

You can give salmon oil with Raw. I'd recommend Ark Naturals Royal Coat Express. It's a blend of Salmon Oil and Borage oil with added vitamin E for the body to process the oil.

A dog's body needs the E to process the fatty acids, so they always say to give 10 IU of E if giving fish oils.

Ok thanks so much. I never knew about the vitamin E. You guys are great!

I don't know when it's coming in.

I just started carrying it...I ordered on 7/2 and I'm a bit surprised it's not here already. I know it has shipped, but I didn't get a tracking number. If you'd like, I can let you know when it does come in.

That would be great, just let me know when it comes. I need to order more bully sticks so I will order at the same time.
