How can you tell if there's oil in food?
The easiest way is to look at the ingredients. You can also look at whether the food leaves a greasy residue on your fingers or napkin; this is an indicator of a high fat content which could come from oil (or butterfat). Also if you know that the food has been fried then it definitely will contain oil.
As a last resort, you can set the food on fire and see how long it burns for. The longer the burning time indicates a higher calorie content, hence a higher likelihood that it contains some fat/oil.

brisco is kinda like a cooking fat most people us it to grease pans when they are cooking or baking.
no, absolutely not. the only proper treatment for mange that wont make matters worse is a proper parasite treatment.

Treatment depends on the type of mange, eg. sarcoptic or demodex.. either way treatment is usually a reasonable price and it is best to take your dog to the vet.

Can I use canola oil that is two months past expiration date?
You can. The way oil goes bad is that it becomes rancid. Give it the smell test before using it. If you are uncertain, taste it. If it doesn't smell or taste as expected, don't use it.
Most of the time that date on the packaging is a "best before" or "best by" date - not an expiration. If the oil isn't stored properly (too hot, exposed to light and/or air), it can become rancid before that date. It is always a good idea to check the quality of oil before using it. Rancid oil can ruin your cooking efforts.
