    Nutritional Supplements... whatta ya think of these 2?

    At a dog show a few weeks ago I picked up small sample packs of these "Daily nutritional system for dogs."  They were given out by Eagle Crest Holistic ([linkhttp://www.eaglecrest2000.com]www.eaglecrest2000.com[/link]).

    Are these things I could give Zoe... at least the sample bags of or do they sound bad.  According to the serving size suggested, I'd give zoe half a tablet per day.

    Advanced Daily Supplement with Phytonutrient Power: Vitamins, minerals, and PLant nutrients, now with Ester-C (one bag says Life's Abundance, and the other says Canine Zone but the ingredients are all the same)
    Crude Protein: 25%, Grade Fat 4%, Moisture 10%, Crude Fiber 4%
    Ingredients:
    liver meal, dicalcium phosphate, sucrose, calcium ascorbate, stearic acid, safflower oil, corn starch, potassium chloride, magnesium silicate, beta-sitosterol, barley grass, n-acetylcysteine, niacinamide, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, a-tocopheryl Acetate, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, vitamin A acetate, zinc oxide, roboflavin, thiamine mononitrate, magnesium sulfate, vitamin D3 supplement, copper sulfate monohydrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, potassium iodide, vitamin B12 supplement.

    The little packet gives the amt. of each vitamin etc. so if you want to know that info, let me know but I don't want to waste time typing it otherwise.
     
    Oh also, I got samples of the Canine Zone food... based on the collaboration of Dr. Jane Bicks and Dr. Barry Sears  (I think it is like the Zone for people, but for dogs)and Life's Abundance Food.  Ever heard of either of these?

    Thanks for the feedback in advance!

    Sucrose is sugar, and I don't like to give mine anything with corn starch....

    Life's Abundance has grape seed oil, which is iffy. Grapes are toxic to dogs, but nobody seems sure as to why or which part.

    I haven't heard of the Zone dog food.

    No, I haven't heard of it.  I would be careful with supplements you may overdo them.   ;Personally I would be very careful of anything new on the market.  Please wait and see.   Just my two cents worth. [sm=happy.gif]

    The same ingredients jumped out to me that Jennie mentioned. I won't feed sucrose or corn starch. Also, I don't think Lifes Abundance is a great food... the ingredients don't match up to the hype IMHO.
