Does anyone have any experience with this supplement? The vet where I work says he thinks it's good, and I was thinking it might be a simpler thing to add to a raw meat diet instead of veggies (which I know is a devided subject unto itself) since veggies go bad faster. It is supposed to provide phytonutrients, omegas, etc. and can also be bought in a version with glucosamine. I don't know, I was hoping it might be an alternative to veg, since it seems that veg is the most time-consuming part of the whole raw thing. Maybe I'm wrong...dunno.

I've tried it...just think it was o.k. It didn't make any noticeable difference in my dog, but I was not yet feeding raw so...there a few things in the mix that I don't really care for also.
Personally, if I'm not feeding veggies I like to add green materials - kelp, alfalfa, etc. The brand I use is B-Natural's Green Blend. I also use their Immune Blend at a half-dose daily and their Digestion Blend for my girl that has EPI. I'm pretty much in love with their products over there, highly recommend them.
I have used it for years. We get the plus with the Gluc. I got it first for ailing boxer. Really helped his coat and leg problems. Now am feeding raw to A puppy Mal. an older Doberman and a bad hip GSD. Don't realy know if it is doing anything but am sticking with it for now. Trying to fill any wholes I make in the diet.
let me know if you find anything out negative.
At one point I was giving lots of individual supplements tailored to each dog, and was very happy with the condition of the dogs but really wanted something a bit less involved so that other folks could feed my dogs easily. So I tried out Missing Link for a while. It worked fine with most of my dogs but at the time, it contained brewers yeast and one of my boys is sensitive to that. Then I tried Platinum Performance, and was fairly happy with that, but just not as happy as I was before.
So I moved back to B-Naturals, but now use their blends. Like Melissa, I use the Green Blend and half dose Immune Blend, and also Salmon Oil and Flexile Plus (for the Glucosamine Chondroitin mix).
When I was in the US, I used to do a big veggie shop from the local farmers market, once a month, then juiced them all and froze them in yoghurt pots. I don't feed as much veg anymore, but I do buy meat and veg mixes when I can, and also chuck in left over veg from my own meals.

My trainer swears by it and says it is great for a shiney coat on a kibble fed dog. I haven't looked at the ingredients list though, I personally use Nupro.

I use Nupro too. It's got dried liver in it and just the smell gets him excited. Makes a liver gravy when water is added.
