Still confused - Vitamin K

First thanks Scott B! So Avatars are where you add the pics?!

OK I'm still not sure whether to feed or not to feed Vitamin K. I did some searching and some folks say K is easily eliminated from the dogs system and only the dog food project has anything posted stating it is a big no-no to feed Menadione Dimethylpyrimidinol Bisulfate (Vitamin K).

Yep, (per the web) state sources for K are easy to naturally add to the diet, but then you have brands like Iams (yuk), Natural Balance and Chicken Soup all adding it to their dry food.

The only really con discription I could find was on the dog food project:
http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=menadione

Then you have specialty sites like show, performance and holistic sites that all use Menadione Dimethylpyrimidinol Bisulfate in the dry food they recommed feeding (along with some vet sites).

The dog food project site is enough to put a scare in you, but even they admit it's everywhere (toys, etc.) and no dedicated research has been completed.

I'm just really stumped whether the Menadione Dimethylpyrimidinol Bisulfate controversy is a lot of smoke or real.

I'm just still plain confused.
