ok, I have what is probably going to sound like a dumb question. I know I have taken flax seed for my own hair before. I don't have Zippy on any of this, and I believe she could benefit from it. I just didn't know how much to give. I have her on a script from the vet for glucosamine and that is it other than her NB food which is now the fish and sweet potatoe formula.
Would this fish oil be all I would need to give her for her coat?????  [/B]

Perri gets 1/4 teaspoon. He should be on more but there's only so much you can put in a small amount of already mushy food without him thinking it's too much. But I digress lol. I'm sure it will soak into a dry food good though and you could add more if you wanted.
As far as which oil you should give I really don't know. I would think since it's a fish food you wouldn't need to add fish oil? And if you give flax the brand I like is Spectrum organic filtered as opposed to the unfiltered, because it has a more pure taste and Perri is more accepting of it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the only fish oil you should give to dogs is salmon oil. I believe the thinking behind it was that regular old fish oil doesn't work as well, if at all.[/B]

It is a salmon oil.

I just went back to this post because I had asked if there was anything in addition to the fish oil that I should be giving Zippy. I just found your suggestion for the flax seed oil. I wrote the name and will check into it and order. How much of it and how do you administer this to Perri?
