[net.pets] Oil for dogs

halle1@houxz.UUCP (10/28/83)

Our vet recommended on alternate days corn oil (Wesson or Mazola, eg)
and pork fat.  We use bacon grease.  Amount depends on dog size.  We use
about one tablespoon a day for 25 pounders, but they have thick coats.
Build up to full dosage.  It works well for our kids (you tell them they're
not people), even better than the commercial stuff.  Be sure to mix
vegetable and animal, whatever you use.
