Is multivitamin syrup safe for my 1-year-old Shih Tzu puppy?

A balance and complete nutrition would be enough to avoid any vitamin supplementation. I would recommend a good quality commercial diet for puppies in her case. You can feed her 3 times daily up to 6 months.

A multivitamin is ok, but it doesn't contain the protein and fats that Bella needs to grow healthy puppies. I would try a few different brands of puppy food. You can also use balanceit.com to make a homemade recipe for her. If she still isn't eating in a few days, I would talk to your vet about her being ill.

I would not generally recommend using supplements unless a specific condition has been diagnosed which would benefit from nutritional treatment. I would recommend feeding a high quality, balanced food which has been formulated for his specific size and age. Adding multivitamins to a good diet can lead to accidental excesses and imbalances and can be harmful

Usually there is no need to supplement vitamins if your puppy is fed with a balanced and complete diet. I normally see in practice more problems due to incorrect vitamin supplementation than hypovitaminosis. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

It is not recommended to give vitamins and supplements to a puppy. Lilo should only be getting a puppy formulated dog food, which will provide her with all the supplements and vitamins she needs to grow properly. Giving her too many can cause toxicity as well as adversely affect her growth. I hope this helps!

No, I would not give Milo multi-vitamins of calcium supplements. While puppies do need higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult dogs, their puppy formulated food will provide that for him. It's never recommend to give puppies multivitamins and extra calcium as that can have detrimental effects on their growth, especially excess calcium. Stop giving Milo this supplements now, and be sure to feed him a high quality large breed puppy formulated food such as Royal Canin.

The drop should have directions on them, however in most cases vitamins are best absorbed with food. These are my best recommendations for a multivitamin for Lexi. These vitamins are formulated for a puppy and provide the extras she needs to grow and develop properly. www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19883
