That's just me...I like to know that not only am I giving the right foods for my pups...but also the correct amounts of each and also the total so that he/she is helped to gain and/or maintain proper body size and condition. |
This is very true. My dogs have entirely different diets than at least three friends whose dogs have the same conditions. An individual consult is always better, but it's so nice to have a source like BalanceIt if the individual consult cannot be done. Years ago I joined an MVD support group on Yahoo and found it to be a waste of my time.
