I give my horses supplements, should I give my dog vitamins?

New Topic

• 4myquarter Posted : 7/23/2009 4:12:38 PM Just curious if anyone does.  Ms. Misha gets vet care and heartworm and flea medicine.  She eats Iams for big dog puppies and of course, treats.  Do you all do anything that I am not?  I like her food so am not interested in changing that.  Thanks for your thoughts!

• tripleluckyprince Posted : 7/23/2009 11:51:45 PM depends on what you think she needs, we give one of our dogs a vitamin that i cant remember the name of because he has a nutrient defficiency, its not from the food we give him its just there, he was born with it so he chews on different things trying to find this nutrient so when he takes his vitamin he doesnt chew, i cant remember what nutrient it was though... other than that we dont supplement our dogs unless they need it, if you think yuor dog needs it then go for it oh wait we give them a garlic and something else tablet that helps with fleas and ticks   LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• 4myquarter Posted : 7/28/2009 12:58:38 PM Thanks triplelucky.  No, I don't think Misha needs it and the vet has made no suggestions.  Her coat is absolutely beautiful and she runs and plays all the time.  I just want to make sure she gets everything she needs to be healthy and hopefully live a long life.  She is a big dog so her life expectancy is approximately 10 years.  I want to get to that and possibly stretch that out as long as we can.  It is what we do while she is young that will make the difference.  Just like with us!  LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• hunterseat Posted : 7/30/2009 2:32:56 AM Besides what's in the Nutrena Loyall food, I give my seniors glucosamine.  One gets pumpkin in his food so he eats better, plus his system is fragile and that helps.  I feed pumpkin to anyone with an upset tummy.  Yogurt for the runs.
