Vitamin C

[PooMother]

I hear what you are saying :-) I know some days my cats will only get dry for the same reasons. I remember years and years ago my nan used to feed Dinki Di tin food to her yorkie that she added an egg and a small amount of vegemite, he had the most amzing shine to his coat. Trying to stay as natural as possible can be confusing sometimes with all the claims on the dry food it can be hard to know. SOme say follow what the breeder advises then others say no you shouldnt be feeding that. I know what I advise for my kittens so I guess its the same. Thank you for your replies you have been most helpful and I appreciate it

Everyone has different opinions I guess. We take a multi vitamin so why shouldn't our dogs? Because they are dogs and not humans right? But animals need and utilise Vitamins and Minerals the same as humans so why not err on the side of caution? JMO.The experts say that if we take a multi and our body doesn't need something it will just expel the unused vitamin/s. I give mine a daily vitamin boost just to be on the safe side. I am not feeding raw atm though (and I can hear the howls of indignation from here!). Mine get cooked roo/lamb/beef mix in the ratio of 50%/25%/25% + a small amount of finely diced liver, eggs & some veggies. All meat is human grade. They get a raw meaty bone for breakfast, mostly lamb riblets or beef tails and the occasional chicken neck. They only get the RC once or maybe twice a week if we are away at a show, I don't have any bones defrosted or am too lazy. They also get fish once or twice a week. Poms don't eat a great amount which makes it hard to mix additives into their food but the Dr Bruce's Vit Booster doesn't bother them at all. They also get Protexin every night in their food. I will give extra Vit C in times of need only. I will probably go back to feeding raw soon though. We just went through some bad times with some puppies and I got a bit germaphobic...especially with chicken.
