The Best Vitamins for Dogs
There is hardly a person who does not know about the benefits of vitamins. But, if people can make up for their deficiency by diversifying their diet, then the owner should take care of the health of the dogs.

Immunity, the state of the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, wool – all this depends on vitamins. Their intake is especially important during the period of growth of the body. In order for a puppy to grow into a beautiful and healthy dog, it is necessary to receive vitamin D, as well as calcium and other trace elements, the same applies to pregnant bitches, because they have to give life to at least five, or even ten babies.

In the wild, dogs and their relatives make up for the lack of vitamins by eating certain plants, but at home this is far from always possible. And here a person should come to the aid of his pets.

Fortunately, most dog vitamins are made in the form of treats, so taking the drug will not only be useful, but also enjoyable. For animals, these vitamins are like sweets for us humans.

Our review of vitamins for dogs will help you navigate the variety of products.

How to choose vitamins for dogs

When choosing vitamins for dogs, several factors must be taken into account: the age of the animal, its physical condition and, of course, the purpose for which vitamins are purchased: to prevent beriberi and maintain the immunity of your pet, help your four-legged friend recover faster from the disease or prepare him for the exhibition. For each of these cases, there are separate drugs.

As for the age of the dog, it should be understood that supplements for puppies will differ in composition from vitamins for adult or older dogs. Puppies need calcium and vitamin D, which are used to strengthen their bones and prevent the development of rickets, but for older dogs, preparations containing components that strengthen immunity that has been shaken over the years of life and improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system are suitable.

Be sure to carefully read the indications for their use and composition when choosing vitamins. Better yet, consult a veterinarian or at least a pet store sales assistant.
