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. A dog usually only needs a tiny amount of oil for it to benefit the dog's skin and coat.
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.

Olive oil has a very distinctive taste. Depending on what kind of recipe you are making would depend on if it would be appropriate to use it.

If you are using it in a salad dressing, say, you could probably get away with using the olive oil.

While not an expert, most sources that I have found point to shelf life of opened and properly stored olive oil to be at 12 to 18 months.

As ice particles will form in the oil, remember to bring it to room temperature before decanting to smaller container.
