Olive oil gives my dog diarrhoea?

While olive oil is often considered a healthy fat for humans, it can cause diarrhoea in dogs when consumed in large quantities. This is because olive oil is not easily digestible by dogs, and its high fat content can irritate the digestive tract.

Small amounts of olive oil can be beneficial for dogs as it can help to improve their coat and skin, and some may be used for cooking if you want to.

If you are thinking about giving your dog olive oil, it is important to start with a small amount and gradually increase the amount over time, monitoring your dog's reaction. If your dog experiences diarrhoea or other digestive problems, it is best to stop giving them olive oil. You should always talk to your veterinarian before giving your dog any supplements or other dietary changes.
