    Here's Lillian's email address.  I'd ask her what she recommends.  She's very helpful but be sure to give her all the details, i.e., what you're feeding each day, your dogs weight, and anything else you're feeding in the way of supplements.

    How many eggs do you think I'll need to use before I get enough eggshells to make enough powder for one meal?

     
    I just tested this. One organic eggshell gave me a little over a teaspoon of powder. Conventional eggshells seem to be thinner, so they might give you a little less. Things I've read say an eggshell has about 1,800 mg of calcium, and Sooner's link provides amounts of ;phosphorous (you can search for other meats). Based on this, Glenda's 1/2 tsp. is ;pretty good for a 1:1 ratio. I try to vary between 1:1 and 2:1, but anywhere in there is supposedly okay. It's not really that difficult, don't let the math and calculations scare you off. [;)]

    Mordanna is always very helpful, but I know she has a [linkhttp://www.betterdogcare.com/]counsulting service[/link] now. Is she still doing 'free' e-mail advice?

    Kelly - I'm not sure if she's giving free email advice anymore or not.  She helped me immensely this past spring with an elimination diet.  I know that she also gives advice, along with others, on her website:

    I also find this yahoo group (run by Monica Segal) very helpful:
     
    [linkhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/K9Kitchen/]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/K9Kitchen/[/link]
     
    Monica has set up quite a few files that give very detailed breakdowns of what supplements, and how much, to use.  I just know that if it were me, I'd want all the factual informaton I could get my hands on.
