Can a Chihuahua eat olive oil?

⚠️ In moderation

Yes, a very tiny amount.

How much: A few drops on his food once in a while.

Why

In small doses it provides healthy fat. Too much raises the risk of pancreatitis.

Olive oil in a Chihuahua's diet

Keep in mind how tiny the portions are for this breed: an adult Chihuahua eats roughly 1 to 2.3 ounces (25-65 g) of food a day depending on his weight, and treats shouldn't go over 10% of his daily calories. That's only a small fraction of an ounce. What looks like "a little bite" to us can be half a meal for him.
