Avoid oily leftovers. Use only a very small amount of plain unflavored oil if advised. Excess fat may cause loose stool and can aggravate pancreatitis in at-risk pets.
Sunflower oil is a neutral cooking oil pressed from sunflower seeds, used for sautéing, frying, baking, and salad dressings. Energy-dense and mostly fat.
Labels may read regular or high-oleic sunflower oil. Also appears in mayonnaise, chips, crackers, and packaged snacks.
Flavored oils may include garlic, chili, or herb infusions. Rancid oil smells sharp and should be discarded. Restaurant fryer blends are highly seasoned after use.
