Yeah, it's strange. If she had not been doing so well and gaining weight, I would think it more probable that she wasn't getting enough. But she was doing great and gaining appropriately.

Hi folks,

We have downgraded our verification and security checks to 'medium' so you won't see the 'Are you a human' challenge as often.

Hopefully what we've done to-date has worked and we won't be needed to take such...

Last post

yes you can switch all at once from Viokase to Enzyme Diane.... when switching between enzyme brands, as long as they are similar in strength (USP units) there is no need to switch slowly ... just go 100% from one to another.

yep.... giving enzymes when not needed will not hurt UNLESS you give them long term... like a year.... and the dog doesn't have EPI and doesn't need enzymes.... Giving them long term is when you can cause an issue.
