In prior posts we discussed the benefits of adding supplemental oils like flaxseed oil, coconut oil and salmon oil to your pups diet. These oils contain an abundance of nutrients and healthy fats (essential fatty acids) like omega-3 and omega-6 that can greatly benefit your pups skin, coat and overall health and well being.
We want to point out that although these oil supplements are a fantastic addition to your pups daily feeding regimen, they should be switched throughout the week, and never given all in the same meal.
A good rule to follow is to use a different oil supplement each day, and rotate throughout the week. For example, you can use the flaxseed oil supplement on Monday, coconut oil on Tuesday, Salmon oil on Wednesday, then switch back to flaxseed oil on Thursday, and so on.
Using more than 1 of these supplements on any given day can overload your pup with fatty acids and can likely cause an upset stomach, excessive gas or diarrhea and can cause your pup much discomfort.
Make sure to switch up the days that these oils are added to your pups meal and get the benefits of them all in a safe and effective manner throughout the week!
