Hi Teresa. I would like to respectfully disagree with the pasta (though I love that you are tossing it in the Omega supplement!). Wheat, whole grain or not, is a great allergen for dogs. Even is your dog doesn't have grain allergies, wheat will absorb nutrients and "toss" them out. Also, it's a simple carb, high in the glycemic index. Try substituting the pasta for julienned or diced sweet potato or pumpkin. These are complex carbs, have minerals and vitamins, are high in antioxidants and being a good source of prebiotic fiber, will help with digestion.
