I put a drizzle in their bowl of pellet mash (along with apple cider vinegar and garlic powder) and it doesn't do any harm!

They don't really need it. I know you should not give them fat balls like garden birds,so I wouldn't give them any fat. Porridge yes with water no milk.

too much oil can affect their kidneys so please be careful when using any oil  :(
Staffies are softer than you think.

However if you're asking because you used it to coat the layers pellets with Flubenvet instead of cod liver oil then yes it is ok to use olive oil (I've used it too) and don't worry they will be fine!  ;)
