Dog Vitamins

Dog vitamins are essential to your pet's health. A good diet of high quality, vitamin enriched dog food will help your dog stay in the pink.

So, should you give your dog a vitamin every day? High quality,commercial dog food that you feed your pet should have all the vitamins he needs along with minerals to keep him healthy.

Always ask your vet before starting a vitamin or supplement regime for your dog. If he/she doesn't think it is necessary, then don't.

Certain vitamins like C,D and E given in large doses can harm your pet.

Some dogs have special needs that require extra vitamins and supplements. Pets with immune system problems and chronic diseases can be helped.

However, check with your vet before starting a new program. It could do more harm than good.

If you have an older pet, he may benefit from supplements for arthritis and joint problems.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin are two popular supplements for this condition.

Bottom line, talk to your vet before starting any vitamins or supplements.

Let him/her know what dog food you are feeding and what would be best for your pet.

No one knows your dog's health like his vet.
