Could I give me dog Vitaman supplements pills?

Posted on Sep 30, 2008 under Dog Nutrition, Supplements | 9 Comments

Where I am located there is no dog food or anything for dogs.. I was wondering if I can give my dog vitaman tablets that humans eat mixed in with his food… My puppy is about 3 months old Pomchi… If I can give him vitamans what vitamans should the dog not eat? Im located in a poor place in China, and there are no vets or anything = ( I will have to try my best to keep it alive and healthy…. The only thing I feed it is real cooked meat with rice usually… But hes not getting the vitamans he needs I think..
It would be OK to give the dog a multivitamin. I sell animal medicines and vaccines and the only difference between them and the human ones is that they do not go through the FDA.

Do you give your dog supplements? If so, which ones?

I totally understand the importance of proper nutrition and I feed EVO kibble which I think is a very good food. But there is so much research out there now on the importance of antioxidants to prevent disease, CoQ10 to strengthen the heart muscle, glucosamine for joints, omega 3’s for skin and inflammation. I’d like to know if you are giving your dog supplements and if you are pleased with the product and results.
My three dogs are on Glycoflex II (a joint supplement) for varying stages of arthritis - and yes I love it and it works very well. One of my dogs is also on omega 3 & 6 fatty acids (3V caps) for chronic skin allergies and shhe also does much better on this. Quality of supplements varies greatly so read up on the specific one to make sure it has the science behind it and the quality of ingredients you want for your dog. Which supplement(s) would be appropriate is based on if your dog has any health problems.
