I take COQ10 -100 mg capsules and was wondering if I can give Pomeranians (7 and 12 yrs) a portion of the gel - have stuck capsule with needle. It is natural component within our body, but don't know if you can give small dog too much. The senior pomeranian (12 yrs) has a little white in eyes, but can see wherever I move my finger her eyes follow - up, down, sideways - however, I did have Rescue pomeranian that went blind. want to avoid that happening again. This also was rescue. Rescued Regina (now Sweetie) at 5 and she had 3 puppies - still have 2 (new 7). At 12 she loves to walk over a mile through the tract. I consider her healthy but concerned about the slight appearance of white in her eyes. You are holistic vet – do you use herbs?

Too much ofcarrots (Vit A) stay in liver as does Vit E. I feet oatmeal - dannon lite and fit (only 3g sugar). It has no added sugar and low carb. Good for us ALL. Too much sugar in everything and have had friends with diabetic dogs. Too many yogurts are HIGH in sugar. I did find Science Diet at Big Lots (lamb & rice) 50 cents a small can and added raw zucinni and raw brochlee (excellent for dogs). Even my birds (canaries, cockateils, finches, lovebirds) love raw vegetables - Being single, we all enjoy and any left over (not fresh )goes into gardening compost. Let me know what you think about Science Diet. I was feeding Nature's (Petco) Senior and sometimes give dry with other live additives. Grated carrots everyone loves also (birds, dogs). Have turtle who also enjoys fresh foods (no head lettuce - no nutritional value. Loves watermelon, hybiscus flowers, rose petals.

I read this is healing to the digestive tract, do you agree? I'm glad you commented on the garlic since its seems to be a controversial item. If I want to give this to him in form of a tablet, how do I figure out the correct amount? I have heard 1/3 of whatever is recommened for me and others suggest based on body weight so I'm a little confused.

I have found that limited amounts of garlic are well tolerated and offer healthy benefits. To be safe, limit your dog to no more than one fresh clove per day. My response to Charlotte,

I have been feeding my guys strictly homemade food now for over a year and have my males epilepsy under control and completely replaced all my old JRT missing hair from years ago when she had an autoimmune ordeal. I don't trust any dog food at this point. Thanks so much for spreading the word.

But Toby does love "Flint River Ranch" kibble for dessert. I also buy stew meat , boil it and cut into small pieces for him , he doesn't really like veggies so I have to "hide " them. I do have a question, I've read "onions" are really bad for dogs, it this true? Love it! But Toby does love “Flint River Ranch” kibble for dessert.

I just boil some chicken (or fresh fish) - fast and easy and throw in some rice from my rice cooker (which always has rice made ready to go). I'm asian remember! We always have rice made!! Add whatever veggie I have in the frig and serve. I'll add some Omega oils and off they eat. I'll do 30/30/30 % ratio or most often 40% protein / 40% rice and 20% veggies. I eye ball it! I've done sardines out of the can - they love fish! Sometimes I feel like a bad mommy giving them this thrown together version of my fancier meals - but I have to remember........it's better than commercial. And they do love it. Glad to know I'm not the only one that does some cheating. Bree I do this too!
