multivitamins for dogs

I have 2 small dogs, a 7 yr.old and a 1 1/2 yr. old. I will be getting a lab pup in a few weeks and the breeder recommends NuVet Plus for the life of the lab and also for my other 2 dogs. I have researched and found this NuVet brand to be rather pricey.. There is a brand called Mountain Naturals which seems to contain same ingredients at a considerable savings.

Would appreciate your input as to brands you have used and had good results with.
Thanks

Re: multivitamins for dogs

Your breeder is probably not reputable, sad to say Most breeders who recommend this have another agenda ($$). They also usually say if you don't feed this 24/7/365, their warranty is invalid, etc., etc.

Any chance you'd go to another breeder?

Dogs do NOT need those supplements - they just need to be fed a good diet

Re: multivitamins for dogs

That's what I was thinking, and you're right....guarantee invalid if not on these vitamins.
I have started weaning my 2 girls from kibble and introducing fresh meat, veggies and fruit....and will gradually feed the new lab the same.
