If you are feeding a dog with special needs you can call and request a phone appt. with her (for about $150 including a recipe). If your dogs don't have special needs you can go to petdiets.com and buy a recipe. I think she owns this site. However, we get into the supplement issue again (she recommends BalanceIT and the regular version has menadione in it which I think is bad).
Or you can go to the BalanceIT website and buy a recipe for $20.
If you buy the right one they will tell you how much BalanceIT to put in it AND they will give you a version telling you how much human vitamins to put in it, so you wouldn't have to use BalanceIT at all. I've never done this so I don't know if it is any good but I might try soon.
Or there are other ones out there.
You can contact Cornell and maybe use Dr. Wakshlag.
He is a good one as far as I know.
Ann (Wylie's Mom) has one that is more holistic that you could use.
University of Tennessee has Dr. Susan Lauten. They could probably help you.
All the veterinary schools should have nutritionists on staff and they may or may not formulate recipes.
