Re: cod liver oil
It's not something I've considered Channi but would think a low dose as you've suggested so as not to make loose motions. Also, I would think that there's only a finite amount that the body could absorbe and use effectively, the rest would just pass through.

Re: cod liver oil
salmon oil is worth considering, dont let the price put you off as you need very little. its also good at reigniting an appetite if the dog has been off its food. one of the best benefits is the zinc content which alot of dry foods simply doesnt contain enough of which will help with skin and coat problems. another alternative that most dogs love is oily fish like mackerel once a week, great for joints, skin and coats. you just have to put up with fishy kisses for an hour or two

Re: cod liver oil
I use Yumega Plus and Coconut Oil, well worth it, works wonders for Zeus's coat and general well being.
