| I only give cosequin for joint health and fish oil for the coat. I dont give vitamins because I read they dont need them if they have a balanced diet

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | People who home cook have to add supplements, but if you are buying a good quality kibble that shouldn't be necessary. At age three, I add Glyco Flex II, it has glucosamine and is similar to Cosequin, but I was told even fussy dogs will eat it willingly, not true so far, I have to put cheese on it. I also add mill flax seed which contains both the oil and the hull, and I think everyone should eat flax seed for a variety of reasons, but the oil is said to be good for the hair and heart, and the hull is good for intestinal health.

| Oh ok thanks, I feed them health extension holistic kibble. It has nutradrops in it. I think this is ok. I'm going to get the Professional dog food that is low fat for them when I finish this bag. It has 5 stars and my Trix has pancreatitis and the other 2 are a little chubby. I also give them the yogurt drops for toddlers as snacks. They love them and they are all natural. They also love the sweet potato snacks. They are a bit expensive so I am going to try making them myself because they love those too.

| You know you are right I really didn't think about the sugar only the fact that they were yogurt. I definatly will get the green beans. They will love them. I will eat the yogurt drops yes they do sleep alot. They are just a bit over weight. Not Trixie but Coco and Pebbles are a little. Going shopping later will definatly get the beans.

| In order to know "exactly" what goes into the making of commercial pet food, and how it's possible not to completely destroy any vitamins "supposedly" added in those boiling vats, I suggest you try and get the company that makes the pet food your using to let you have a tour of the rendering plant. If it's legit, then they have nothing to hide.

| Anyway...thank you for the suggestion of the beans. I bought them today and my babies love them. I gave it to them with their dinner. They gobbled it up. I feel better knowing that they are getting veggies. I know that they love broccoli. I will mix and match each week or so. They will get a variety of veggies. Thanks again.
