At 24 pounds, I'd give 2.4 grams (2400 mg) of fish oil (or if you get Grizzly pump, the directions on the bottle are good). 2.4 grams is one-half teaspoon. I'd give 100-200 IU of Vitamin E at that weight.

I used to use it regularly but not daily. Now I have seen the benefits of probiotics to my allergic dog (remember that allergies are an immune response), and I now give it every day to all dogs. The non-allergic dogs are getting about 10-15% of their food as yogurt. To your dog, that'd probably be up to a couple of ounces. But I believe that any amount is beneficial -- even one or two tablespoons. I give it early in the day, when stomach acid production is lower, because I want as many of the cultures to get past the stomach as possible. Most dogs process fermented dairy (yogurt, kefir) much better than unfermented (cottage cheese, milk). Of course, if I saw any digestive problem, I would stop, and then I would give a probiotic supplement. http://leerburg.com/50.htm http://leerburg.com/feedingarawdiet.htm#probiotics All JMO. This area of research/study (probiotics) is growing quickly. I'm keeping up as well as possible, but there's more info all the time.
