Small amounts of canola oil are safe and it's commonly used in complete pet diets as a fat source. Excess added oil may cause GI upset or weight gain. Don't add extra oil on top of an already complete diet.
Canola oil is a neutral-tasting vegetable oil made from specially bred rapeseed, sold as regular liquid, spray, or blended oil.
Canola oil is used in sautéing, roasting, frying, baking, dressings, and marinades. It appears in many processed foods and in some complete pet diets as a fat source.
Greasy drippings, pans, and used paper towels are common kitchen exposure points. Spray oils are easy to overapply. Mayonnaise, commercial dressings, and baked goods often use canola oil.
