Vegetable oil would not be my choice. Fish oil is best. You should look for omega 3 and omega 6 oils. You should also be feeding your dog a good dog food. If you are feeding pedigree or kibbles and bits, nutro, purina, etc. You need to do some research and find a better diet for your dog.Is vegetable oil good for my dog?
I'd start first with what your feed her before you begin adding things to her diet. You should be avoiding grocery store brands (like Purina, Science Diet, Pedigree, Beneful, etc.) Choose a food with meat as the first ingredient, with no corn, wheat, soy or by-products as fillers. Check out this site for a complete analysis of most dog food brands. Where does your food rate? If it's not 4 or more stars, maybe it's time to switch. I can guarantee you'll get a healthier pet if you feed a better food. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com.





Some good brands to consider: Orijen, Wellness, Innova, Canidae, Merrieck's, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul or Solid Gold.
olive oil in small amounts in her food like every other day , or you can use flax seed softgels and u stick with pin and squirt out on the food every day or give the whole pill if you want if dog is ok with pills , flax seed has omega 3,6,9 . Ive read the bottle i work in a drug store ,
