I am giving my 11 year old Sheltie the Thorne Canine Geriatric Basic and Super EPA. Would it be a good idea to give him Immugen too? If so, do I give it to him every day or maybe every other day? Or would it just be just too much vitamins? I do not want to over dose him on some of the vitamins that could be toxic. He has fatty tumors, cornia dystrophy (fat deposits on his eyes due to producing too much cholesterol), this is why I have to keep him on a low fat diet. I just want to help him with these health problems and keep him around alot longer.
Thanks for your help,

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry to Holistic Pet Info. There are several ingredients in Immugen that are comparable with the Canine Geriatric Basics. Cell Advance by Vetri-Science may be a more balanced choice so as not to worry about overlapping on any nutrients. Of course you may dose the immune support every other day or which is ever best for your dog.
Your sheltie’s diet and additional supplements are excellent foundations to maintain a healthy and high quality long life. Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Colleen Smith DVM, CVA
