Karen, over here in UK they sell yeast tablets for dogs. I wonder why they
do this if yeast is bad for them like it is for Met. I wonder if by giving
yeast tablets as a vitamin you could ruin the dog's coat etc. This is
weird. I always thought yeast tablets were good for my dogs but will think
again now given what you've said about Met's systemic yeast.
