Dinovite??

[Heather & Brinkley]

Has anyone heard of Dinovite? My mom's friend swears by it for itching but I'm skeptical:

Thanks in advance!

It fits so well and I had a good laugh

[Ted Schmitt]

Haha oh wow, I didn't even notice that. Thank you;] five minutes until edit time! lol

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Go ahead, Ted. I made no accusations; I stated that Audra works for Dinovite, which is true. In fact, her dad owns Dynovite.

I also have made no claims. I did give a brief explanation on vitamin deficiency and absorption. And as far as "dismissing" my comments, I think Audra did a pretty good job of that in her original post, which is what started this little discussion in the first place.

"All premium dog foods contain more than enough of all vitamins and minerals  required by a normal dog, and Orijen is about as good as kibble gets." 

My understanding is that dry dog foods nutritional information is taken into account before the cooking process. Am I misinformed?

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yes, you are misinformed. The vitamins and minerals are added after cooking, which is why the specific compounds are listed separately on the labels, as ingredients put into the food by the manufacturer.  

[F, Calla & Luca]

I for one find the information about the connection to Dynovite, which I did not know very helpful. A disclaimer on the part of Audra would have been appreciated. Golly, even the TV news folks do that.

Histamine response in dogs and the efficacy of OTC food supplements on itching:

And BTW, calling people hypocrites is not the way to make new friends.

[Audra Darlington]

again, you do not have to attack. 

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

You come into a discussion, tell people about whom you know nothing that they are uneducated, uninformed, and judgmental, and you feel you were attacked?????

 

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Here are my two cents (got it right, Joanne!) -- I have followed the advise of F and Karen and Adina for over 2 years and I'm not about to stop now! I have never known any three individuals to be as educated and up-to-date on the nutritional aspects of dog (or human!) health.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Thank you, Doris.
