Hi Genevieve, please delete this message but I just wanted to point out that you've spelled German Shepherd wrongly. It's shepherd as in dog for sheep. Also, although I'm not an expert, as someone who has always had 2 dogs, I think you can run your dogs together as long as they get on and are obedient. But as you say, maybe to introduce them to that gradually!
Alexis
Love this shake! Thank you for sharing a healthier version to that popular sugar laden one.
