I must confess I'm having so many different answers about it. I had the babies on supplements but the vet,other yorkies mommy's and they say you only feed them supplements when they are pg. It might cause stones.
So maybe someone could help me on this. Oh last night every one had chicken livers. I have to cook alot for them but I measure it out in there bowl.
Hope this does not confuse you.

I think you may have misunderstood. If they are getting a
commercial diet you don't want to add supplements unless they are pregnant because it is already balanced. Too much calcium isn't good either.
You must supplement if you are feeding a homecooked diet. The proper calcium to phosphorus ratio is very important. At the very least dogs on a homecooked diet need a high quality multivitamin and a Tums everyday.
