Also, read up on a dog's dietary needs. Fruit and veggies are not required. Yes a dog will eat them but they do not need them to survive, and adding them doesn't make the diet healthier. Much more important would be providing organ meats and fish to provide vitamins and nutrients that only those types of meats contain. I think the whole "a dog needs veggies" thing is only done to make humans feel their dog is getting a "balanced" diet. That balance should be based on a carnivores needs, not an omnivore like humans.
GSDMon, I have read that cod liver oil is not good as a daily supplement- it is very rich in vitamin A and D, and vitamin A is stored in the body, so too much is not good. I think it's better to supplement with a fish body oil, which has the omegas without the overload on the A and D. Just something to think about.
