Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?

I have a 1 year old rottie with dry skin %26amp; a dull coat. I have already taken him to the vet %26amp; started giving him e.virgin olive oil but haven't really noticed a difference. I know that oils should be a part of his diet so I would like to know which is the better oil to include in his meals.Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?
Salmon oil is the best - the omega 3 fatty acids will help really fast. All my dogs get 1 capsule daily.Which oil is better for dogs? Cod liver oil or extra virgin olive oil?
What are you feeding the dog? if it is a properly balanced food formula no supplements should be necessary.


Is the dog blowing it's coat? This is a normal function and you should relax and just put up with some flake skin for a few weeks. Trust me the condition will correct it's self once the dog rids it's self of the unneeded hair.


I have one that looks like hell right now, by next week she will look like she has been on a diet or something. Then after a trip to the groomer she will shine like a new coin.
fish oil- omega 3 (mercury free) Deep cold water fish w/ DHA (don't get it at the pet store, buy it for people, it's cheaper)


my rottie had the same problem even though she was getting a top rated food (Innova Large breed puppy $50/30lb. bag). the vet said it was just very dry skin. trust me it was BAD and any stress made it worse. when i took her to the vet she looked like she had been rolling around in a sand box it got so bad ! (apparently she wasn't thrilled w/ the vet or the ride @ 10 wks. old---she's 7 mo. now)


she gets 2- 2400 mg./day. after about 6-8 wks. her skin and coat looked amazing (i was about to give up-don't). her skin is great, no more flaking and her coat is sooooooo shiny!





hope this helps. good luck.
Fish oils, Cod liver or Salmon...however if you only have olive oil then thats OK
