It is possible that Aram could develop pancreatitis or an upset stomach due to consuming so much oil for such a small dog. Instead, try only offering the fish oil. The omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in fish oil have been shown to have both anti-inflammatory properties and can be beneficial to skin and joint health. Coconut oil, however, has no proven medical benefit in animals or humans. Always consult with Aram's vet to discuss giving oils or supplements!

Yes, a dog can get sick even if they get fish oil and coconut oil. There is no scientific evidence that they prevent or treat any diseases in dogs, so giving them to Aram will not result in him never getting sick.
