I choose not to supplement A directly in pill form because of the risk of overdose/toxicity.
Instead I make sure to add carrots or sweet potatoes to the recipe for vitamin A.

If your dog is healthy, you can get a recipe for $25 from a website that Crystal (Ellie May) is familiar with. This may be an option for those of you who want to start homecooking but don't know where to start. This will make sure your recipe is balanced.

Thank You

What is the website?
