| My vet told me that if you are feeding a high quality commercial food you don't need any additional vitamins. In fact, adding vitamins can throw the balance off. I just supplement for specific conditions like joint support, liver support or fish oil like you are doing now. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | If your using missing link and fish oil and feeding a high quality diet you do not need anything else. what were you thinking of adding? what kind of vitamins?

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I have no clue. Actually it was my bf that brought it up. He takes multivitamins himself and he was like we should get the dogs multivitamins so they are healthy. I told them we already give them missing link and the food has some vitamins but he said to find out if there are any.

| No joint supplement in the world is going to prevent Teddy from injuring his knees or back if he's jumping on and off furniture all the time. Have you tried putting those pet steps next to the couch and bed? |

| I don't think you need to give vitamins if you are feeding a high quality dog food. It is fine to give supplements for joints or things like that but just to give more of what is already in their food is not really necessary. If your bf is concerned, have him read the back of the dog food bag. All those names that he won't be able to pronounce have taken care of their needs. It is sweet that he cares though.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | No i haven't gotten those steps yet. I want to get them but i don't think he will use them, he just loves jumping. I think he would be scared of them. I am going to get them anyway but i just don't know if they will work
