We give salmon oil daily to all our dogs and give only give Modena the coconut oil because she need the weight. She'll eat ~ 1 tbl spoon and then eat around it.

For extra virgin oil i use either Olitalia or borges brand.
Wheatgerm oil - Rex brand.
Flaxseed oil - Health 1st(Indian brand)
Salmon oil - Grizzly(Using it now), Beaphar(used it in the past ,now i avoid it like a plaque)
Also you can use Grizzly Pollock oil in place of Salmon oil. Just for a change if your dog likes it.
Coconut oil is good but it cannot match the good properties of Extra virgin olive oil. My formula is different. I studied from the book called "The Whole Pet Diet" by Andi Brown. The author recommends mixing different oils and make it a blend say take 500ml of extra virgin olive oil along with 100ml salmon oil, 100ml wheatgerm oil and 100ml flaxseed oil. Mix all together in a blender and pour it into a dark colour glass bottle. You can keep this bottle in the refrigerator. According to the pet's weight, we can supplement the oil as follows:
2 - 11 pounds - 1/2 teaspoon(2.5ml).
12 - 25 pounds - 1 teaspoon(5ml).
26 - 50 pounds - 2 teaspoon(10ml)
51 - 100 pounds - 1 tablespoon(15ml)
100 pounds+ - please follow the above limits for every pound limit so a dog which is more than 150 pounds gets 2 tablespoon a day(30ml)
My dogs get 7.5ml in the morning and another 7.5ml in the night. I have 5 dogs(15ml each). Hence they consume 75ml a day. My wife mix these oils thrice a month. So a total of 2,250ml a month for 5 dogs. But she mix 2400ml a month. Remaining 150ml will be consumed in another 2 days. So our preparation comes for 32 days.
Try to get salmon oil. They have extreme palatability. Once you mix in the ratios which i have given before, everything works out pretty great. My male rott was always fuzzy about eating something very regular except the oil blend. I also rotate his dry food every month except the oil because i have the belief that the oil which i am giving to all dogs will help their heart in the future. Also try to get Wheatgerm oil and Flaxseed oil. I don't know what is EVOO and don't forget the extra virgin olive oil because that will be the base for this blend. Try them. You will be amazed with the results.
I've been using olive oil on Titan's face for 5 days rather than the usual coconut oil and I've noticed a huge difference. His face is no longer dry.
You can find the other oils at Whole Foods, Sprouts or big grocery chains like Kroger or Tom Thumb. I doubt WalMart will carry those oils but they might.
We use Amazon as much as possible. Hate shopping in stores
