hello I have started giving my dog omega 3 fish oil which will help her with allegies as she has been on apoquel for a couple of weeks. How often per week should I give her these omega 3 tablets? Can I give her them twice a week for example?

Some fish oil supplements, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, can be given daily, others are given 2-3 times weekly. You will need to read the label of the product you have to determine a schedule. The dose and frequency will depend on the amount of Omega 3s in the capsules and your dog's body weight.
