I settled for this to supplement. Not ideal but the lessor of two evils maybe and certainly better for the dogs health.

I go with this most of the time for my two-year old (Siberian) puppy, sometimes the duck recipe, but I plan on switching her off the dry kibble in the future and giving her real meat, plus raw organic oils, curcumin, and veggies/sprouts. She'll be spoiled lol

But please do train her so she won't be a menace.

To an extent, like when it comes to not biting/jumping on people and things of that nature, but I don't really believe in trying to control them, just let them be what they are. I don't look at it as if I'm her "owner", we're companions.

I understand. But realize that in dog language that means she now knows you are the alpha member of her pack.

Lol, I meant to say that she knows that you are not the alpha member of her pack.

Wouldn't matter to me, we have a nice companionship
