Best Answer

Salmon oil and Evening Primrose oil are oils that a dog can benefit greatly from. You can also add a weekly treat of oily fish such as sardines or mackerel (best in spring water) as this will have the same effect.

Salmon oil contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. It is the omega 3 fatty acids that are so valuable in salmon oil. Salmon oil helps improve coat and skin quality and lubricate joints, which an elderly dog may benefit greatly from. It is advisable to use this instead of Cod Liver oil, as this contains a high level of Vitamin A which can be harmful if fed too much.

Evening Primrose oil also contains vitamins and fatty acids that promote healthy supple skin and soft, glossy fur much like Salmon oil.

Both oils can be found in most health shops and can be added to the dog's meals a couple of times a week. Only a small amount is needed each time.

What form is fat in when used to make muffins?

You can make muffins without fats or oils. The better oils are the oils that are both easy to mix and are good for you and improve the taste from a dry muffin to a moist and chewy muffin that is greasy. The choice is yours. Muffins are dry little things and to me only need a teaspoon of olive oil per 5 muffins. If you need more oily flavor then add butter after the muffin is cooked and hot by splitting the muffin and add a pat of butter. Caution: Any food made with unsaturated oils can become heart damaging if the food is heated so hot that it turns brown. The oils can become trans fats when heated. So the best oils for cooking is right back to the saturated fats that need to be melted to add to the ingredients, like bacon fat, beef fat, and butter! Unsaturated fat like soy and corn oil and canola are so aggressive at destroying DNA if they are fried or overheated that many cities have banned using them for food sales.
