The missing link only has omega 3 fatty acids. It doesn't have the omega 6 which is very important. So even if you do give the missing link, your still going to have to suppliment that with something that has omega 6, such as safflower, sunflower, corn, evening primrose, and borage oils. It is also found in poultry fat and prok fat (not much in beef or butter).
dried beans (great northern, kidney, navy, and soybeans) are inexpensive source of both omega6 and omega 3 essential fatty acids.
Certain fish are very high in omega6 and omega3 and the body can usually convert the fatty acids from fish more easily than from other source. Good choices, in addition to those mentioned above, are sardines, herring, lake trout, and albacore tuna.
When feeding yogurt, make sure it says live culture.
There is no way what-so-ever you can compare real food with dog food. Dog food isn't even government regulated, therefore they can and do put whatever they want in it, not to mention any vitamins *they say* are in there, is ruined in the boiling process anyway. |
