    Omega-3 fish oil, beneficial in treating all sorts of human conditions, is also beneficial for your dog. Omega-3 fish oil is useful in treating dogs' allergies, kidney disease, arthritis and high cholesterol.

    On the Other: Special Considerations

    Dogs with allergies or other health concerns may need higher doses than regular supplementation. Also, dogs may need other supplements that work in conjunction with the fish oil. For example, dogs with allergies may need to take GLA, an omega-6 supplement that helps improve skin, in addition to omega-3 fish oil.

    Bottom Line

    Always consult your veterinarian to determine fish oil dosage. If using a fish oil supplement designed especially for animals, follow the label guidelines. Some animals will require more than the recommended amount. As a general guideline, dogs weighing more than 20 pounds may take around 1,500 milligrams, while smaller dogs will require around 1,000 milligrams.
