Try the search engine toward the top of the forum home page, look up fish oil.
The most cost effective way is to just get the human fish oil capsules at the drugstore, at present I am using Sundown Naturals 1200mg, I put 1 capsule a day in their morning meal and they chew/gulp it down. They are small dogs. I take one a day too 🙂
Most dogs can tolerate one capsule a day, in my experience. I wouldn’t give more, unless your vet advises so.
If you want to be more careful, look into salmon oil or fish oil supplements specific for dogs from pet supply places and go by the directions on the jar.
The only side effects I know of are, fish breath or loose stools, I have not observed either with my dogs.
PS: My old guy will be 15 next month, he weighs 12 pounds. It is just a supplement, but I think it helps a little.
I have heard good things about krill oil, but it is more expensive.
