Can I get some vitamins and supplements suggested for a female dog who had her first litter 3 months ago ? She is having loads of shedding and weight is lost after the delivery. However after examining vet confirmed she is good health.
If she is healthy otherwise, try transitioning her to a puppy diet or high performance diet. Once she is at an appropriate weight, transition to a maintenance adult diet. A vitamin supplement, such at Pet-Tabs, can be used but as long as she is on a quality diet, she shouldn't need vitamin supplements. A fish oil supplement, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, can be used to promote healthy skin and coat. Use a monthly flea and tick preventative as well as a monthly parasite preventative. If her condition does not improve in the next month or two, have her rechecked by your veterinarian.

Which supplement (s) should I give my 5 year old Shih Tzu. He has seasonal allergies, dandruff, dry itchy skin, hot spots, and is allergic to flea bites.
A part from treating with effective and appropriate prescription medications, some supplement based on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and vitamins could be beneficial. Coatex could be a good product.

Looking for pills/vitamins/medicine recommendations for my dogs excessive shedding. He has a corn, soy, chicken and wheat free diet I bought him a shed defender aswell. And I brush his teeth and fur everyday. I am looking for ways to prevent EXESSIVE
Excessive shedding can have a multitude of reasons: It could be seasonal shedding as we are now in full-blown autumn and Sam may be shedding his coat and replacing it with a winter coat. He could also have a thyroid condition that is making him shed excessively. This can be diagnosed or ruled out easily via a blood test. Other reasons could be bad quality food, a lack of essential fatty acids, parasites or fungal/bacterial infections. Some dogs naturally shed more than others. If you think that the shedding is caused by something other than a seasonal change or fur I suggest you take Sam to your veterinarian for an exam. I am afraid there are no pills or vitamins to prevent excessive shedding. Brushing and feeding a good brand complete dog food for small dogs is the best treatment. Regular grooming (shaving) also will hep.
