Can I give my dog fish oil from Costco? The dog supplements are much more costly. Will it be ok to give one softgel daily? Do I need to supplement vitamin E with fish oil?

It's fine to give dogs the human grade fish oil. Chloe can have 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight. These pills are a little more than that, but it will be fine. She won't need vitamin E supplementation also. I hope this helps!
