oakeydoak1 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The breeders where I got my BC puppies from both said they fed fish oil (human ones) - I tried to put it on their meal and they wouldnt eat it!!! They also fed them garlic - but same thing wouldnt eat it. Dont feed it to them whole as they could choke. Cut it and squeeze it on to their food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCPuppy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 You can get Omega Oil as a supplement from most pet stores, Marlin gets it every day unless she is having fish. Big bottle lasts me around 6 months. Once ran out and squeezed a tablet into her food instead. Good for their coat and general health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 We used to feed sardines but find that a salmon oil capsule once a day to be far more beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Kelpies Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I have fed my dogs fish oil tablets daily for some years now. My GSDx gets two 1000mg capsules per day and the Kelpies one. I also feed tinned sardines in water twice per week. I prefer the tablets as they stay fresh. Omega 3 fatty acids are easily affected by light, air etc. and can deteriorate in the oil form.I've never had problems just adding the tablets to their food, but it would be easy to open the capsules and pour the oil over other food. Here are some articles you might find helpful. http://onibasu.com/archives/kn/107374.html http://www.b-naturals.com/newsletter/essential-fatty-acids/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
