It can be anxiety producing if you don't use a nutritionist.

All of those supplements are meant to be an addition to already complete and balanced commercial food (and since the food is already balanced, most of those supplements are just a good way for companies to make $$$). They aren't concentrated enough for homecooking. Dr. Pitcairn is questionable with the confusing supplement thing. The only supplement made specifically for homecooking is Balance IT. The problem is, the regular Balance IT L contains menadione (not great). If you go to their site though, you can buy recipes for cheap and if you don't want to use the Balance IT, they will give you equivalents in humans vitamins and minerals. You might try that. I've never used the service, so don't know how good it is. Ellie is on Balance IT (it's a different kind for liver issues without menadione). Her nutritionist recommends it. Your dogs would have to be adults with no health issues and at perfect weights to buy recipes from the site or you could consult a nutritionist. All of the supplements you listed (except Dr. P) wouldn't be near enough calcium for a dog on a homecooked diet. I have Dr. P's book and don't like it much. The supplementing seems to be confusing to some because of his cal/phos ratio instructions I guess.

Does that help?
