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.

Yeah, that ^

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.
