| It isn't good but we all eat it and we have no choice, so don't worry about it. While fluoride might clean teeth (and that's questionable to me) it has been linked to hypothyroidism, bone fractures, hormone imbalance and dental fluorosis in people. It is certainly not as good as dentists make it look.

| You can use those baked and I think the healthy powder is balanced with phos. Does the healthy powder call for egg shells specifically?

Question for you. Since you use BalanceIT - Do you also need to add more Calcium/Phrs ? | |

For instance, I will be adding fish oil again soon to Ellie's food to alter tissue levels (for her liver I think it is). I have the print out from Ellie's nutritionist about how much fish oil to give for this if you would like me to type it for you I would be happy to... since TJ and Roxy would have the same needs...

| It is fine to use them then since he already balanced the ca/phos for you. Just make sure you use the portions he says if you want to stay balanced...

| Elle57, marcerella02 would probably be able to answer your questions about the healthy powder better since she uses it...

| I know. But I am the 'fanatical' doggie owner of the family. Of course they want the best for their too, but they don't do all the research like me. They home cook and are just not 'aware' of everything 'we - want to be aware of' |
