Do Puppies need a multivitamin?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Vitamins keep your pet's skin and coat healthy, strengthen bones and teeth, and give them the overall energy that they need to function. However, most dogs and cats that are on well-balanced, quality pet foods do not need extra supplementation of vitamins.


Should I give my puppy a multivitamin?

You should never give your dog human vitamins, or even over-the-counter dog vitamins or supplements. Be sure to follow your vet's directions on how much and how often to give the pills, treats or capsules prescribed to you.

Should puppies be given supplements?

Optimal nutrition is critical in the development of a healthy immune system. Puppies and kittens require more calcium and phosphorus than adults, and these minerals need to be supplied in the correct ratio. Both over- and under-supplementation can be harmful.

What vitamins Should a puppy have?

Your dog needs vitamins from two different groups: water-soluble vitamins C and B-complex, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. These vitamins help a dog's body to build bones, teeth and connective tissues.

When can puppy take vitamins?

This should be completed by four to six weeks of age. "If puppies are receiving a good quality, balanced diet, they should not be given any additional vitamins or nutritional supplements." Weaning them onto one of the complete puppy foods (which are available in dry or canned forms) ensures balanced nutrition.
