Fish oils are rich in vitamin D, so keep that in mind so that you don't overdose your dog on vitamin D by giving it through several sources...An excess of it over time can cause hardening of the heart or kidneys. Homecooking full time takes some research to do it right

That's exactly why I am so nervous about home cooking and feed Natures Variety Prairie instead.

Somebody else figured everything out for me.
