Huggy Bear at Waikiki |
Of the 22 components listed on the Vitamin Supplement, the home made dog food was short on 9 items, and 2 that were not verifiable (biotin and chromium, which are found in carrots and broccoli but this information is based on sources in which legitimacy cannot be verified), but there were no components missing completely (contains zero of that component) from the home made dog food.
From this conclusion, I've decided to give Huggy Bear half of the vitamin supplement recommended by the vet.
