I'm sure everyone has a favorite .. but based on what I've read , I'm going to try coconut oil and a hemp seed oil ... I have used Flax for years , but want to see if I can spot a difference using coconut or the hemp seed oils.

After getting a chance to spend some time on this site today , reading the many different threads and opinions of others , I'm beginning to get the picture that maybe Flax isn't so good for my dogs !?! ..yikes... But thats what I'm here for ... LEARNING ... So keep it up !!!! .
flax is a good omega 3 fat source.

I use extra virgin olive oil because that is what we have prenty of in here. For Ω3 I supply max epa capsules from seven seas, the product that is used as medicine for heart and high cholesterol patients. For Ω6 sunflower oil is a cheap and effective option.
I do not know about flax oil and dogs but I do remember years ago some researchers claims that it presents estrogen like effects. The same goes for all soy products, even olive oil was accused for that but then it was droped as mild effect that presents benefit for lowering cholesterol, protecting heart etc. I repeat, all this is info regarding humans.

that's why I moved away from the popular DYNE Supplement as its Soybean based and moved on to Flax , now going to try Coconut and Hemp Seed Oils.

Walmart sells lard. The brand name is Armour. The 64 oz. tub is about 7 bucks.

In your profile it says you are located in the Golden state which I think means California. If you go into a spanish market and ask for manteca they will sell you a barrel of it for little or nothing.
