Vitamin K3 warning -- Menadione

[Sheltiemama]

Hi Everyone

Please check the ingredients on your dog food bags. There is a supplement called Menadione that is Vitamin K3 that can cause major side affects in dogs. Here is a link regarding this Menadione and what it's possible side effects are. http://www.mordanna.com/dogfood/index.php?page=menadione

Nutro Natural lamb and rice does have it and that's what I feed. I am not sure if other manufacturers are also using it.

Dobified, do you add fat soluble vitamins to your dogs diet or do you find there is enough in the food you give them?
