Hi Betsy, and thanks for being on the Natural Path with us.
I think as long as raw food is made intelligently and rotated periodically (I like a new protein monthly, with a cycle of three different recipes), additional vitamins shouldn't be necessary. The Transfer Factor Canine Complete (and Feline Complete) were formulated by a vet nutritionist to be complementary to any diet, even a vitamin fortified one. Another product would be redundant.
My hat is off to you on your stance on more rabies vaccinations. My thoughts to a T.
The closest piece I've written on horses and vaccinations makes it clear that to me, horses are the most over vaccinated species in the world. Certainly COPD or allergic asthma (heaves) is due to immune confusion. There's no larger confusion cause than vaccination, the injection of foreign organisms right into the blood, bypassing all the natural defenses.
I'm so sorry you lost you QH to this, and I'm inspired that she's sent you down a better path for her sister and all future horses you have a say over.
Again, welcome.
