Colliewood Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi, What age would you start a pup on fish oil capsules? My girl is 9 weeks. Weighs 6kgs. (Rough Collie) The capsules are 1000 mg. Is that dose to large? ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 The usual dosage is 1g per 10kg. I would wait until your girl is a little older before giving her fish oil, but you could try it I suppose, just watch her in case it gives her the runs.

Joshua Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi That's what i was wondering to. My pup Grizzly is going on 4 months. He's a Groodle and around 10kg. I'm thinking about starting him on fish oil tablets. Are human fish oil capsules alright if i squeez the oil into his food? Also how much should i give him? Would he need other vitmans too, will fish oil make him deficient in E for example? Thanks, Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guys eat them out of my hand even though they are odourless to us I think they can smell something because even my old collie who is really fussy loves them. As far as dosage, thats why I posted. I am going to start my girl on sardines in oil first then when older ease her over to capsules. (I still give sardines once or twice per week.) Just ease slowing onto the sardines in oil. Too much too soon could upset tummy. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Great! Thanks for that... Just to be annoying just wandering what you do in regards to the vitaman e? Is there a dog supplment for it or is human ok? (sorry i'm a newbie :S ) Thanks, Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
