Most supplements (not necessarily saying this about this supplement) are a waste of money. If your dog has a specific problem, then you need to use a specific supplement. If you are already feeding a complete and balanced dog food, your dog doesn't need more vitamins and minerals. There are already acceptable minimums and maximums set by AAFCO. If you don't trust that the food you are feeding has balanced everything properly, I'd find a new food. It shouldn't hurt to give a multi-vitamin but I'm not sure how much good it is going to do for most dogs.

The only difference in this supplement is that it contains digestive enzymes.
I personally do not believe that a healthy dog needs digestive enzymes because their pancreas should be producing plenty of them. However, I don't have a holistic leaning either. I think it comes down to, if you trust your vet and agree that your dog needs digestive enzymes and extra vitamins, then give it. If not, don't.

This product is made by Vetri-Science and they are pretty well known but I've never heard of anyone on YT using this.

My question would be, how does she know your dog is lacking in vitamins?
If a dog is severely low in any one vitamin or mineral, I would switch foods or treat the underlying health issue most likely.
