Vitamin E oil

Hi! Can I use this vitamin E oil instead of wheat germ oil, and WITHOUT adding extra vegetable oil? My dog isn’t particularly keen on oils in general, but he doesn’t mind a drop or two. https://mecindo.no/products/solgar-vitamin-e-flydende-59ml?ss_gc=Cj0KCQjw77bPBhC_ARIsAGAjjV8mEdMUJWtg_qJdieRlafeq_mc31qal1HruPFOMNEkHegO-p_-M5YsaAjhgEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17335763022&gclid=Cj0KCQjw77bPBhC_ARIsAGAjjV8mEdMUJWtg_qJdieRlafeq_mc31qal1HruPFOMNEkHegO-p_-M5YsaAjhgEALw_wcB

  • PS: I will, of course, calculate the correct amount myself, as this is very concentrated compared to wheat germ oil.
  • Hi! I see that my answer hasn’t been published for some reason, so I’m trying again 😅 If you’re feeding a complete diet, it’s important that the requirements for both vitamin E and linoleic acid are met. Some animal-based ingredients can also provide linoleic acid, particularly chicken fat, chicken skin, pork fat and egg yolk. Read more here: {{ARTICLE:can-i-replace-wheat-germ-oil:Can I replace wheat germ oil?}} If you’re not feeding a complete diet, it’s fine to just use the drops, without adding any more oil or linoleic acid. It looks like the one you’re suggesting doesn’t state how much vitamin E there is per drop, which makes it a bit harder to calculate the correct amount. By comparison, Bio-Life’s vitamin E from Sunkost states how much vitamin E there is in 5 drops, so it may be ea…
  • Thanks for your reply! 😊 You mention that chicken skin, egg yolk, etc. contain linoleic acid. So I’m wondering if I can use some of these instead of adding sunflower or safflower oil? I often use the lamb and cabbage recipe, and my dog is supposed to have 1.4 g of wheat germ oil per day. Can I replace it with any of the ingredients you mention, and if so, in what quantities? Once again, thank you so much for your reply, and for everything you do 🤩👍👏❤️
  • Yes, you can 😊 For example, you could give them an egg yolk or a bit of chicken skin once a week (this will help meet their overall needs) ☘️ Thank you for your kind words! ❤️
