Salmon Oil and Vitamin E?

[Paviche]

My guys each get 2 pumps of Grizzly Salmon Oil per day (the recommended amount for their weight.) Should I be adding vitamin E to their food as well, since it's a fish oil? I've been reading mixed things. What do you guys do? Rowan is eating Acana Pacifica and Riff is getting Innova: Nature's Table Salmon & Wild Herring, if it makes a difference. I started adding the fish oil two days ago because Riff has been itchy lately, and just sheds a lot in general.

I would contact the company about this- I've read some things about Grizzly not needing to be supplemented with Vit E, where there are some people who do anyways. Personally, I just went with Pet Meds' fish oil, as it included Vit E and I didn't have to worry about that.

I use the human capsules for Caleb- 1,000mg daily and give him 40 IUs of vitamin E once a week.

Re: Fish oil and Vit E

I have found one scientific study that suggested adding vitamin e oil, full of antioxidants, is wise when supplementing with fish oil if you aren't getting the necessary antioxidants throughout your diet.

Of course, now I can't find the study...maybe this was it.
