Cod Liver Oil for a Puppy!

Post by claire on Tue Feb 08, 2011 5:14 pm

I've heard adding a teaspoon of cod liver oil a couple of times a week to one of the meals is good for their coat. How old should a dog be before you start this. My puppy is 10 weeks.

Molly has 2 cod liver oil tablets every day, has done for a few months or so now, she'd had been on it earlier had we actually had the money to pick some up from the pet shop

Start as soon as you like, but don't give too much. A teaspoon full twice a week is plenty. I'm not sure, but I think the cod liver oil you buy in, for example, Holland & Barrett is much cheaper than the one you get from the pet shops. It's wortha look!
