bleurghhhh

I have a two year old foster dog here who's teeth are even worse than that, her breath is vile!!!

No, many people who feed raw and cannot give bones will give ground eggshell. half a tsp of ground eggshell will provide about 900mg of Ca

No, whatever suits.

Omega 3 are anti inflmmatory, omega 6 are not. I would certainly drain off the brine though, enough salt in the fish

I prefer not to give tuna though.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I will stock up on some tinned fish and see what she thinks of it.
