Dogs on a homecooked diet need bloodwork after six months to make sure they are getting the proper nutrients and regular bloodwork thereafter.
Either consult a nutritionist or follow a diet prepared by a nutritionist that includes the supplementation exactly. |
You should get blood tests done regularly to ensure she is not lacking anything. I get Layla's done every 6 months- it is through her bloodwork that we learned Layla has pancreatits- she had no symptoms and by the time the symptoms occur- it can sometimes be too late.
