Olive oil gives my dog diarrhoea?

Yes, too much olive oil can cause diarrhoea in dogs. This is because the olive oil acts as a laxative and lubricates the dog's digestive system.

Salmon oil and Evening Primrose oil are other oils than a dog can greatly benefit from in terms of promoting skin, fur and joint health. 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.
