Omega 3 for dogs

[videc]

My shitzu dog is 7 years old and has kidney stones and allergies.He also has high cholesterol(Cushings' disease suspected). He weighs about 10 lbs. Is it safe for me to give him omega 3 capsules and what should be the dosage?
Thank you,

According to my vet this is supposed to help with inflammation and allergies.It supposedly helps raise good cholesterol.I certainly hope I'll get to see some results.I'm told it takes about 2 to 3 months to see any results.I guess I'll have to wait for his next blood tests to see.

I give my 20 pound Westie one capsule of "fish oil" each morning.  I use scissors and hold the capsule over his kibble - cut tip off and squeeze    He seems to like the smell/taste of the oil on his kibble which is also fish based. This capsule is the same that I take, and the dose recommendation for a human (or any weight) is 3 per day.

I can't say I see any improvement in his several problems conditions, but I figure it "can't hurt"...
