| Vitamin supplement I'm looking for suggestion on vitamin supplements. I would like to get her on a multi vitamin but all the ones I can find are flavored. She has allergies to beef and chicken and it seems like all the ones I find are these flavors. Anyone know of a good non flavored one that I can give her. She is three pounds and three years old. She has a lot of gi issues so I'm hoping this could help. I tried a vitamins b complex and it upset her belly |

| If she is eating dog food it should be balanced and she should not need vitamins. For her GI issues you might want to try probiotics.

| You don't need to add vitamins to a commercial dog food. In fact, doing so could throw off the proportions in the diet.

| Thanks for the responses! I was thinking maybe vitamin c or cranberry may help prevent bladder infections since she has a bad one right now. |

| Thanks! I saw a couple crystals in her urine on her puppy pad tonight. So I will be calling the vet once again to see if he suggests adding something to her food. She's on special needs food so switching her isn't really an option. |

| Talking to your vet is probably the best thing.
