My puppy very picky eater, has almost never eats in the morning regardless on what kind of food he is being offered. I started goving him Tomlyn Nutri high calorie dietary supplements. I have noticed that he is also shedding profusel, for that i've been told to use pure raw nutrition premium organic wild caught pure alaskan salmon with vitamin d3 potassium b complex and antioxidants fish oil. Is it okto give him both? Since Tomlyn nutri suplement also have omega 3 oil in it.

Hi and thanks for your post this afternoon. The Tomlyn Nutri Supplement is okay, but the salmon oil with the added D3 and Potassium vitamins can be toxic to dogs. Unless your veterinarian has specifically told you to give the D3 and Potassium Supplement, I would advise against it. Regular Salmon Oil without the added D3 and Potassium (just regular plain Salmon or Fish Oil) would be better then the added extra D3 and Potassium. It is okay to give Salmon Oil (or other Fish Oil) with the Tomyln Nutri, just avoid the D3 and Potassium. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
