Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Female | spayed | 7 years and 10 months old | 79 lbs

My dog has lymphoma and is currently taking lumustine (every three weeks). I have attached a photo of a label for organic Spirulina. Is there any thing in the ingredients that would be harmful for her.

Hello and thank you for your question. The iron may be a problem in this supplement. Additionally, supplements can have interactions with the chemotherapeutic drugs. I recommend to consult with her oncologist before starting any supplements. The oncologist is the expert when it comes to chemotherapy and you always need their input as you don’t want to cause any harm by accident. I hope Sadie is doing well with her chemotherapy and please feel free to post any additional questions.
