Thanks for the response its very helpful. Ive never had a blood count on my dogs before I think I will. Im still learning Ive only been training for nearly 2 years.

Im in Maslin Beach I train 2 greyhounds No Brake Blake and Obi Won Ginobili not the greatest dogs but have already given me big thrills. Ive also got a pup Im about to name.

Ive found with many issues there are always so many conflicting opinions and the only way to really find anything out for yourself is from experience but I have a lot of time for people willing to teach me a thing or two.

Thanks again

No probs November,
Have backed Obi won before my self.

Blood counts can also help you in a lot more ereas as well such as worms and so on.
Theres some great books you can get as well which i found real helping.
But as you said experiance is the best tool .
Good luck

ahhh right down the other end of town

Im glad that the answers have helped you a bit, but as you said experience is the key, you will probably learn alot the first time you get bloods done on the dogs, and then you can share your experience's .

good luck mate, ill have to try and catch up with you at angle park sometime

I wouldnt say that it is too much, 4ml daily is the recommended dosing level. which is a smidge under a teaspoon.

There are other factors too look at like what meats are being fed to the dog, but as I said the real way to know for sure that the dog is right is to get a blood test and know positively what the levels are.

Also as I said before the dog will pass anything deemed excess to its needs, unless it is massively oversaturated with iron and cant get rid of it fast enough.
