You can add 1/4 teaspoon of chia seeds to Trip's meals. Hemp seed can be supplemented at about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon mixed into the food. Both should be given once daily in the morning meal. Monitor for GI upset or difficulty defecating since these seeds are high in fiber and fat. You may want to begin with a lower amount and work your way up.
