Unless you are homecooking, you shouldn't add vitamins. If you are feeding a high quality commercial dog food, it is already balanced.
You can add supplements to help with certain issues. For example, my Lady get Marin for her liver, Cosequin for her arthritis, 3V caps (fish oil) to support her immune system/allergies, and Transfer Factor (colostrum) also for her immune system. Lady is diabetic and has a weakened immune system. |
