<p>Depending on your food some food have fish oil in them. If your pups that young I would do 1/2 a tsp. a day. Just mix it in with her meal. And as your pup gets older you can add a whole tsp. a day. And I just get the fish oil for humans from Costco. </p>

<p>I started giving Max fish oil over the winter because he gets such dry skin and chews the inside of his hind legs raw. It really put a stop to it. It also helps control normal shedding...of course corgis don't shed in a nomral fashion but I do see that it makes a difference. After I saw how well it was helping Max I started giving them to Katie too. They both get one capsule with their food at dinner. Their coats as soft and shiny.</p>

Thanks everyone! Sardines sound like a great idea. Oil and fish at the same time. But do their breath stink?? Haha

<p>I give mine sardines. I have 4 dogs, and there are usually 3 or 4 sardines in a tin, so the corgis get a whole one, and the min pins get a half. They love them in their dinner! I just make sure to get the sardines in water, or oil. Their coats are beautiful! Ein is a shorthair corgi and we always get comments on how soft he is. Lilly is a Fluffy, and her coat is gorgeous anyhow, but the fish oil does make her coat even softer. </p>

<p>Fauna is 25 lbs and gets 2 pumps of pollock fish oil a day. She's very active, so I give her a little more than the recommended dose of 1 1/2 pumps. Her skin and fur are BEAUTIFUL! I've been telling all my friends with long-haired dogs to add it to their dogs diet.</p>

<p>1 capsule (same they sell for people in the drug/grocery store) every other day with breakfast. Will be switching to every day when he hits 8 months old.</p>
<p>Have also heard good things about coconut oil, but if you're going to supplement one do not give the other.</p>

<p><b>Avocado oil</b> is the edible oil pressed from the fleshy pulp of avocados. Avocado oil can be used for both <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">cooking</span> and cosmetic purposes. Its unusually high smoking point and aromatic flavor make it suitable for both high temperature frying and grilling, as well as an emulsifying salad oil.

<p><b>Avocado oil</b> is the edible oil pressed from the fleshy pulp of avocados. Avocado oil can be used for both <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">cooking</span> and cosmetic purposes. Its unusually high smoking point and aromatic flavor make it suitable for both high temperature frying and grilling, as well as an emulsifying salad oil. Nutritionally, avocado oil ranks comparably to olive oil with a copious amount monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is also loaded with proteins, lecithin, beta-carotene and vitamins A, D and E.</p>
<p>The following are the top 5 health advantages you can expect from using avocado oil:</p>
<h2><b>1. Controls and Modifies Blood Cholesterol</b></h2>
<p>The number one value of avocado oil is its ability to protect your <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">cardiovascular</span> system. Avocado oil is extremely rich in monounsaturated oleic acid (OA). OA can inhibit the absorption of dietary cholesterol and triglyceride by blocking their transport into your bloodstream. Studies have proved that consumption of OA can reduce your blood concentration of low density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglyceride, efficiently lowering your potentials for plaque formation and vessel blockage. OA can also raise your high density lipoprotein (HDL) level, which further protects you from cardiovascular diseases.</p>
<h2><b>2. Improves Blood Vessel Integrity</b></h2>
<p>Avocado oil contains a balanced proportion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids, along with vitamin E have powerful antioxidant properties which can protect your blood vessels by binding and removing free radicals and cholesterol deposits and reducing your risk of blood vessel damage. The binding of these antioxidants to your blood vessel lining also makes your vessel wall stronger and more flexible so that they respond better to sudden changes of blood pressure. Studies have shown that regular intake of avocado oil can significantly lower your risk of arterial thrombosis and coronary heart disease.</p>
<h2><b>3. Prevents Cancer</b></h2>
<p>Alpha linolenic acid (ALA), the omega-3 fatty acid in avocados, has been found to suppress tumor growth in breast and colon cancers. Vitamin E is another anti-cancerous agent. It has been found effective in both prevention and treatment of skin cancer and prostate cancer. Evidences also show that the combination of vitamin E and beta-carotene can drastically lower the risks of lung and other cancers in smokers.</p>
<h2><b>4. Promotes Faster Healing and Better Skin Quality</b></h2>
<p>Vitamin A, D and E are all involved in skin cell growth and regeneration. Vitamin A and E have strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions that promote faster healing of cuts and wounds, and prevent scarring, acne breakouts and <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">dermatitis</span>. They also give you natural sun protection. Studies have shown that both intake and topical application of avocado oil can reduce the appearance of age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin A and D can promote collage production and binding–the intake or application of which can effectively slow down your skin’s aging process.</p>
<h2><b>5. Moisturizes Hair and Skin</b></h2>
<p>Avocado oil is a great source of lecithin. This yellowing fatty substance acts as a super emulsifier and lubricant. When applied topically, lecithin forms a protective covering on <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">your hair</span> follicles and your skin’s surface, effectively preventing the loss of moisture due to wind and climate damage. Avocado oil is also high in sterolin which can be used as a softener or moisturizer in <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">hair and skin care</span>.</p>

<p>Two pluses are: it's easy to find, not too expensive and doesn't have that fishy smell!</p>
