| lol.. who knows i asked Donna (yorkiedaze) about this when i started and she divided up a pill between her two girls.... so when i gave it to Layla i would just put like two drops of each.... i always went on the lesser side because i figured it was a bonus she was getting it and i didn't want to give too much |

| well i make the healthy powder, with ground up cleaned baked egg shells. then i give him cold pressed flax oil, squirt of it once a day. he gets that in one of his meals and the other meal he gets half of a centrum performance multi vitamin and cosequin- that is for joints. i called the cornell university and spoke to a nutritionist and she said to give the centrum pill. i think this is ok to give. sammy is doing good on this. i also home cook for him too, treats too. |

| yes they have a nutrionist that you can talk to and get the proper diet, but i think she said it is like 100 to 150. i did not pay anything , all i did was ask her what i was giving sammy is ok, and she said to give the centrum performance pill- half per day. |

| i honestly could not afford to pay them, all i wanted to know are the supplements ok plus the recipes i feed him are ok. i just want to make sure what he is getting is healthy. thats all they told me was to give him the centrum. |
