Can this be used to supplement a dog's diet?

Yes. Our dog has kidney problems. The vet suggested giving her 1 tsp of calcium carbonate each day.

Interesting. I don't think it would completely prevent a dog from getting the food, but it might make it less appealing, and it would certainly slow him down a lot. Worth trying.

I guess you could, but what is your purpose? Is your current food only filler, or does it also offer a complete diet which might not be complemented by the Orijen? Each of my dogs only eats 1/2 c./day. If I had big dogs who ate a lot, I would probably choose something else too.

Not according to the label. You can go to http://missinglinkproducts.com/products/dog/product/4-the-missing-link-ultimate-canine-skin-coat-formula-1-lb-pouch for a full list of ingrediants.

Probably not. The only thing I've ever found that helps with this is to feed Pumpkin. There is a handy dehydrated pumpkin which you can mix a couple tablespoons with water at a time and feed. My dogs won't eat it on its own, so I mix it in with food. Great for loose stools or any digestive upset, but it does help prevent them from dining on their own "presents".

I don't think so. Our vet recommended this because it makes the food easier to digest, and that helped our dog's itchy skin.

I am sorry I can not answer this question as I would not feed these to my dog. Read some nutritional info on this product. You wouldn't feed them either.

I undestand that this food can be given to all ages of dogs. I asked my vet about it and was told it is a good choice, and the staff in the pet-food store also recommended it over many other brands. I feed my Rotweiller and my small beagle mixed breed this food and both of them thrive on it. Here is the link if you wish to research more.http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/

Yes, this is a fertilizer/animal feed grade so it would be OK to use it for that.

I think no. I looked into this for a Saint Bernard puppy, but according to the TOTW FAQ this has more than the maximum recommend calcium content (2.1% vs 1.5%) and calcium to phosphorus ratio (1.5:1 vs 1.3:1). This all seems pretty confusing, but TOTW recommends their High Prairie Puppy which has lower calcium. Also it's more expensive. http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/faq/#191

It has a very small amount. I don't think it's enough to matter as far as dietary needs/restrictions are concerned. Best thing would probably be to ask your vet about it. Hope this answer helps.

Not as far as I can see. It's really just a good source of Omega 3's which reduce inflammation, promote heart health, etc. -- same thing they do in humans. My border collie is still shedding his usual bales of fur, and he's getting 3 big "pumps" a day of this.

not sure. My purpose was to slow the rate at which my dog wolfed his food. It did work for that. Now it is almost like too much work for my dog to eat if I put small kibble in it; he has to be really hungry to bother.

Not directly but the company may use ingredients in the product that have been animal tested. I'm not sure but you can probably Google it

This is an herbal product. IMO, if the dog is benefited by normal usage, It should be OK.

Keep in mind, I'm only commenting on the puppy food. I do believe they have adult dog food in large kibble size for that specific purpose. This one is just the puppy food.

I think it would be fine if your dog is not some tea cup size pup. Labs, bagels, jack russels....it could work! Good luck. Clever idea!
