Does anyone feed flax oil?

I added 1 tsp of Flax Oil to both dogs' breakfast dishes today and wonder if anyone else feeds it. If you do - how much do you add to their meal and do you add it every meal or once a day.

I add flaxseed oil as well but only a teaspoon every three days or so (there's already flaxseed in their food). I alternate between flaxseed, coconut oil, and sardines or salmon oil. I like to give a variety. If I've added any fatty fish to their meals, then I withhold on the oils.

Does that mean they get some kind of oil daily? e.g. - sardines on Mond, Flax Oil on Tues, Salmon Oil on Wed - that sort of thing?

Bobby's coat is dry and Amber's mats very easily so I though an oil supplement would be beneficial to them both. I like the idea of alternating the oils and would like to do that too..

That's what I do Jan ~ alternate between a flax seed oil and salmon oil. I haven't got off my behind to get out and get the cocunut oil yet though :rolleyes:

What would be the proper dosage for each of those oils?

Thankd, mummummum - I like the idea of alternating so I'll get some salmon oil today and start the rotation...

I appreciate your help!

Oopsie - that was supposed to be "thanks" not thankd!

I give Dazy the Horizon's oil...1 tsp per meal. She likes it and it smells really good actually.

Ingredients: Blend of Sunflower Oil, Flax Oil, Salmon Oil, Sage Oil, Antioxidant Blend (Rosemary, Mixed Tocopherols, Ascorbyl, Palmitate, Citric Acid), Taurine Powder, Garlic Oil.

Horizon Oil sounds pretty good but I'll stick to the Flax and Salmon for now - see if there's any general improvement in coats.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that's pretty much what I do. It always depends on what else I've fed them that day; I'm not exactly religious about it. I only started off with 1/2 teaspoon for Lucky though and withhold the coconut oil for him because of his sensitive stomach. But they both have gorgeous coats and I don't spritz them with any products. I'm pretty happy with their food also, I'm sure that contributed to the improvement.

I forgot to mention, don't forget to keep the flaxseed oil in the fridge.

Yup - I do - the staff at the Health Food Store were adamant about that..
Thanks..
