| If you are feeding a high quality food formulated for puppies or all life stages you should not add a multivitamin. Doing so can upset the nutritional balance of a commercial food. Multivitamins should only be added if you are homecooking. Supplements can be added as needed for specific conditions like joint problems, liver disease, etc. |

| You might want to check out your dog food and make sure you are giving a good one.

| Fish oil is a good supplement to add. I use 3V Caps for small dogs. |
