Hi there, and thank you for posting the question about Buster. Omega 3s are used in dogs as well, and the amount he got is actually what I would prescribe for his size, so it should not cause any problems. However, some dogs are sensitive to starting omega 3s and will develop some loose stools, however with a one time dose I think even that is unlikely. Best and luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
