Did you know that Olive Oil has just as important health benefits for our furry friends as they do for us?
It’s true!
Olive Oil can benefit both dogs and cats in many ways including making them feel better, reducing the risk of certain diseases and it might even prolong their lives
A recent article in the Olive Oil Times lists the benefits as follows:
Olive Oil Benefits for Dogs
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and excess weight gain, and can provide a healthier immune system
- Can help senior dogs with muscle and joint pain
- Brain health
- Softer coats and dandruff prevention – no more dry skin issues
Olive Oil Benefits for Cats
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and excess weight gain, and can provide a healthier immune system
- Alleviate the constipation that many cats experience regularly
- Hair ball cure – mix 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil into their food for 3 days
- Helps maintain Shiny and soft fur
If you want to add Olive Oil to your pet’s healthy diet, be sure to stick to the recommended dosage of 1 teaspoon per 20lbs of body weight daily for dogs and 1 teaspoon no more than 3 times a week mixed thoroughly into food for cats.
Cheers to your healthy pet!
