| Help with oil please I've read on here that you need to give omega 3 oil to your yorkie, is it a special oil, or the same oils you find in human supplments? thanks.

the one i like is Welcome to Nordic Naturals omega 3 for pets but i would only supplement for like your dog has dry skin or allergies as you do not want to borrow trouble and while rare fatty acids can trigger pancreatitis and yorkies are highly prone to this - also if your dog has high triglycerides ever on blood work do not supplement with any fatty acids as that means your dog naturally has a high fat content in blood and that is a blood panel done after a 12 hr fast | |

| I use Ark Naturals' Royal Coat Express. It's great becuase it not only has the fatty acids EPA & DHA from salmon oil, but it also has the fatty acids GLA & LA from borage oil which are very beneficial for skin. When giving salmon oil, you must supplement with Vitamin E, and this already has the Vit E in it. Last edited by AMD; 07-15-2009 at 09:10 AM. |

| Okay, it should work then. A lot of people like the Ark Naturals. If you just want the EPA and DHA, most human fish oil are fine but you also need to supplement with vitamin e. Their potency and purity can also be in question, so it takes some research into the company to find all of this out... If I was going to give a human fish oil, I would get one that is USP approved.

| Cod liver oil Wow I did not know that. So what do you recommend? He is not a allergic dog and does not have dry skin. He does take supplements because I home cook for them. I am still learning Thanks Cheryl |

| NuHEMP omega sauce I put some Omega Sauce NuHEMP Luscious Liver & Cheese in the dog's kebbles this morning and they hate it! All my dogs try it and 5 out of 6 back off from it. Only Lilly is eating the food but she is a puppy so she'll eat anything. |
