Olive Oil...
Do any of you supplement with this Instead of fish oil??? I heard it has most of the same benefits....

I do.
My big guy tends to respond quite nicely. They get olive oil a few times a week, offset by salmon oil capsules.

I don't! I use Coconut Oil for all the Healthy benefits.

Funny you mention that. I tried it once, pouring a tablespoon or less on his food and about 30 minutes later, he threw up. I'll stick to the fish oil capsules.

G loves olive oil but I have learned with her tummy that 1/4 t is plenty a few times a week. She just loves it and she loves the fish oil capsules that I pierce and squeeze over her food.

Olive oil is one of those things you have to add VERY slowly....it took me several weeks just to be able to add 1tblspn to my guys food...however, it's a BATCH of food that I prepare that lasts for over a week at a time....so as to a daily amount, they're getting very little.
They get coconut oils too, I trade off several times a week between coconut and salmon, olive oil they get daily but in very tiny amounts. |
