| vitiamins I have three yorkies and feed all of them Nutro puppy food.(they are all under 4 pounds) I also give them Nutra-Cal vitiamins. I give them each 1/2 vitiamin a day. My babies eat no people food and only get Cheerios and dog bones as treats. In your opinion are the vitiamins needed or am I wasting my money. Tauni |

| I'm not sure, but I would think that as long as you have a balanced food, and keep some nutri-cal gel around for when they need it, it would be ok. But giving them vitamins can't possibly hurt! I'm sure they're healthy little dudes. |
