Did the Zyrtec make you dog sleepy. Never thought of trying that. As far as dosing, he weighs 75 lbs and not even one yet, would a half be the right dose for him.

You can give your dog coconut oil too! I'd stay away from the steroids! I take a tsp in my tea mixed with cinnamon! Tastes great and has many great benefits!

Don't ever use anything like that without checking with your vet on the correct dosage. All it takes is a phone call.

Re: Fish Oil Capsules for Dogs

I was giving my dog expensive fish oil designated for pets. My vet suggested I give her regular fish oil like I take. She asks for it at bedtime and just takes it plain from my hand.

I buy fish oil capsules at Aldi's. $4 a bottle. My dogs get 2 capsules each, per day. My vet recommended it. They've been getting them for about 7 years, now. I just put the whole capsule in with their regular kibble, and they swallow them whole with their food. I think it helps with their skin and fur.

Thanks, I have seen them there..love Aldis!

For skin problems, check out Nzymes.com. I've been using their products on my dog since September and see a lot of improvement. (I am not with this company in any way, just a satisfied customer.)
