DM Test Results for Rhodesian Ridgeback

March 4 2009 Hats off to the RR Club for the unprecedented number of dogs tested for DM. We are well on our way to eliminating this disease from our breed in dogs bred by club members. 609 dogs tested and the numbers continue to grow as new results are posted weekly by OFA. These results give the breeder the information they need when considering a breeding. Dogs at risk should NOT be bred and eliminated from a breeding program. More questions? leave a comment to this post. You can follow the link above to see what other breeds are doing. K

AKC endorses what "they" call a multi vitamin for you dog??

A question I ponder for my readers, would you give your dog a vitamin that has this warning on the label?

Warnings:

For use in dogs only. Keep out of the reach of children and animals. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately. If animal’s condition worsens or does not improve, stop product administration and consult your veterinarian.

Precautions:

Safe use in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been proven.

For use in dogs only.

My comment is "antything for money" I would not want this product in my house let along give it to my dog. I wouold not recommend this product to anyone, if you read the ingreadients, you will see salt, sugars, disguised in cheesburger flavor, .....


The NuVet Plus Tabs that I do recommend are safe for you dog and build immunity and keep your dog healthy. There is NO warning label. And the ingredients are human grade...It is cheaper to buy a one year supply of NuVet to keep your dog healthy than one visit to the vet for allergy and skin problem tests. Huh!
