What's the right fish oil dose for my 10lb dog's itchy skin?

Question

I am giving my dog fish oil for itchy skin. She is a 10 lb chihuahua/jack russell mix. How much should i give her, please?

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

She requires about 450mg of fish oil per day for this condition. Keep in mind that these supplements are only used as an adjunct with other medications for treating skin problems. It will not be expected to completely solve the problem. I hope that helps and all is well.
