Funny you mention that...Dinovite is kind of what started this whole ordeal


I agree with you that it seems to have a profound impact on a dog's health. We gave it to our dog a couple of years ago and it helped clear up her skin issues following the chicken allergy problems. Then we ran out, and I was told not to order any more because "it smells bad". Fast forward to a couple of months ago, and our dog's skin and fur was looking pretty bad again. I argued that Dinovite would clear it up, so I ordered some more...and I was right. Her terrible shedding stopped almost immediately.

Interestingly, along with the Dinovite came a free bottle of "Lick-o-chops" fatty food topping. I guess it's designed to help mask the flavor of the Dinovite when you first introduce it to your dog's diet. Well, our girl loves her some Lick-o-chops. Unfortunately, when we ran out of it, she started getting really finnicky about eating her food with Dinovite mixed in. So after a few days of her not eating very well, we started mixing in some fat from cooking...most of which was from bacon. That's about the time her first few vomiting episodes occured, which then spiraled into even more unfinished meals, all culminating in her ceasing all eating about 10 days ago. By last Monday night she was so weak and un-medicated that the poor thing collapsed and could barely move.

So, for now, we are Dinovite-free until we can establish a normal meal routine with no vomiting. I'm hoping that we identified at least part of the problem tonight with a possible reaction to pork. We shall see. Hopefully we can avoid any more vomiting and get her back on Dinovite soon. It really does seem to help.
