Tips for Serving Azestfor Vitamins
To ensure your pet is getting the most nutrition possible from his or her dog food supplement powder, remember these tips:
- Heat destroys the potency of vitamins
- A fully cooked recipe with vitamins mixed in, CAN BE FROZEN for up to one year from the cook date. This will not affect supplement potency.
- If you prefer to add your vitamins just before serving, add 1-1/4 teaspoons of Azestfor homemade dog food vitamins per 1 cup of homemade dog food.

FAQs
Yes! Cooking lamb for dogs is an excellent choice because lamb is often a protein source that a lot of dogs may not have encountered before. That makes this simple homemade dog food for allergies recipe a great option for pet parents who are looking for a healthy dog food recipe with very few ingredients.
White rice is an easily digested carbohydrate source for dogs. In fact, if your dog has had diarrhea or an upset stomach, it’s likely your vet even prescribed serving chicken and rice (instead of commercial dog food) as treatment to soothe his tummy, because white rice is low in fiber.
Providing a steady diet of chicken and rice or lamb and rice to your dog long term is a healthy choice, when you are adding vitamins to make it nutritionally balanced.
Yes, it’s definitely safe. Brown rice can be especially helpful for dogs with diabetes because it has a lower glycemic index than white rice. While healthier nutritionally, brown rice is a bit tougher for our furry friends to digest due to the seed coat that is still present in this variety.
Be sure to watch how much rice your dog takes in daily (brown or white!) because it can cause your pet to put on weight - just like it can for us.
Natural Supplements for Dog's with Itchy Skin
Traditional fish oil for dogs contains two kinds of omega 3 fatty acids - EPA and DHA.
Nutrients from shellfish, especially New Zealand’s green lipped mussels, actually contain an additional, third omega 3, called ETA.
These rare ETA (Eicosatetraenoic) fatty acids can lower enzyme levels responsible for your dog’s skin inflammation and pain - thereby benefiting not only dogs with allergies and itchy skin, but those dogs suffering from joint pain and arthritis as well.
Additionally, omega 3 fatty acids from green lipped mussels can help to repair damaged cartilage in joints - increasing mobility, range of motion, and ultimately, a dog’s quality of life.
