It really depends on the rest of the diet. I have two diets from a very well respected and experienced board certified veterinary nutritionist that call for a human vitamin daily (along with other additions).

I do agree you can't just throw a vitamin into a mix and assume you are getting the nutrition correct. This is even more true with pet vitamins - those are formulated to supplement a commercial diet, not a home cooked diet.

to the OP - I agree with others that home cooking, so long as the diet is properly balanced, is a great option but it's not as easy as people think. I wish you good luck with your pup.
