Health & WellnessDo dogs need extra vitamins if they eat quality dog food?
Are herbal calming treats safe for dogs with anxiety? What about Thunderspray?
Dogs on high-quality commercial diets do not need vitamins. Dogs on homecooked diets definitely need to take a vitamin.
For the supplements, I'm not familiar with Pet Natural Vermont Calm specifically but the ingredients look ok. It's true that they are not regulated, so we have to go on company reputation. The ones I know and recommend are Zylkene (different supplement) and Composure (same supplement as the Vermont ones).
I like and trust the company that makes Thunderspray, so if it's helping then stick with it. The pheromone product that I'm most familiar with and feel does help is called Adaptil.
I hope that all helps!
