My four legged children eat healthy food that I eat. I is in their dietary needs. They also get lots of venison; venison bones with marrow and even specially prepared jerky for treats. They also get whatever they ask for or want like berries; greens; nuts that are safe and such. Yes, they get it all and then some. Never had a poison issue since. No store bought poison.
