Is Olive Oil okay for my chihuahua?

I recently adopting a chihuahua from a private home. The lady recommended putting olive oil on his food because that helps their coats. Is this okay? Also is it okay to give the little guy milk every day as a ';treat';?Is Olive Oil okay for my chihuahua?
I do not know about olive oil for the coat but I know that an egg will do the trick. My chihuahua gets milk as a treat but everyone else seems to think that it is a bad idea. Have fun they are a blast..Is Olive Oil okay for my chihuahua?
A little olive oil is good. I'm not real sure about the milk. A little bit is probably okay.
the milk is not needed. the olive oil you can put a couple drops on food 1 every month would be fine. There are far better treats than milk.
First you did NOT adopt you bought a chihuahua when you could have really adopted a homeless one.

Do not give your dog milk its really bad for their stomach and may cause other health issues. Olive oil won't kill him but there is no need as long as he has a healthy daily diet. May cause loose stool.
About 1 teaspoon a day of olive oil would be great for his skin and coat. No to the milk, though, dogs don't do lactose. You could give him a tiny bit of yogurt, though - it's good for the digestion (so-fat, no-sugar added).
Olive oil is okay for coats but I prefer raw egg 2 or 3 x's wkly or flax seed oil in the event of dry skin condition. Milk given to a pup that has already been weaned is sure to produce diahhera. Get some Nutro Ultra puppy bisquits for treats.
Ask your vet these questions, then you'll know for sure. Some people feed their pets things they shouldn't out of love, when in all actuality, it's not doing them any good. Check with the vet when in doubt.
Fish oil is the best, but our vet said even cooking oil would work, just not as well. And milk should be just fine--we give it to cats, don't we?
Do not put Olive oil all the time. Just for a change now and then you may resort to it. Cream biscuits will be superior to milk to ';Treat';-but the treat is not given on daily basis !!
Olive oil is a little rich for dogs. Once in awhile, maybe, but certainly not every day. Safflower oil or sunflower oil is the best. Don't give too much, tho, or it will ';leak'; out his behind, and you will have a mess.


No! Milk is not good for a dog every day. It will give them diarrhea. Once a week, if that.
haha
Ok I'm a vet and can answer this. Dont give your dog Olive oil on food for more than three weeks each year. You can give your dog milk as a treat evey other day. if you give it to him every day he will use the bathroom all over your house. Hope this helps!
