Are you following a recipe prepared by a nutritionist? Are you adding any other supplements besides the AE Multivitamin? I homecook and use the AE vitamin, but I also have a whole list of other supplements I have to add.
Kelp is an excellent source of iodine.
There's a little on page 9 about iodine needs in a dog: http://dels.nas.edu/dels/rpt_briefs/...tion_final.pdf |
I am using a recipe provided by a nutritionist- I use the AE mutltivitamin and a calcium that is meant for home cooking.
I have kelp here at home- i used to make my own supplement (dr. pitcairn) but when Layla started having her pancreas issues- i switched over to the one that she recommended
How much kelp do you add?
