People aren’t the only ones who may need supplements in their diets. I discovered DinoVite when I was looking up something to help one of our dogs who licks his paws obsessively. They have a number of different products, and some contain dry yeast.
My dog also loves to lick my hands, and I don’t want a dog who has been consuming gluten and/or wheat to lick me. Inevitably in his (or our other dog’s) excitement, a face lick happens. Hands I can deal with, but not my face, and especially not if they get my lips. Ewww!
So my concern with DinoVite was – what is the source of that yeast? A lot of pet companies use Brewer’s Yeast1, which is not Celiac safe. Brewer’s Yeast can also interact with certain human medications; I don’t know if this is true for canine/feline medications as well.
DinoVite’s helpful response:
Please let me know if you have any questions.
