As my GSD grows, I am unsure of how many salmon oil pills I should give her. What are your thoughts?
Full Question:
Hi Ed, right now my shepherd gets a salmon oil pill daily. She has since she was a pup. But lately she has been shedding alot more than usual. She has been fixed so it isn't the heat, and the season change hasn't been happening for the last consecutive 5 months. I know I should up the amount of pills she gets but not sure how much more. They are 1000mg per capsule. She absolutely loves it, so it won't be a problem giving her more. Could you please let me know how much more to give. Thanks. 
Cindy's Answer:
1000 mg of Salmon Oil per day is not enough for a GSD. We recommend at least 1 pill per 20 pounds of body weight per day. Most of our dogs get 4 to 5 thousand milligrams per day. You also need to make sure you give Vitamin E along with this.
