A high quality canine diet is essential for proper growth and development of your puppy and for maintenance of a happy, healthy adult. Table food, scraps and cat food are not adequate to maintain the long term health of your canine companion.

If your pet is on a complete and balanced diet, then that diet provides all the nutrients that the pet needs for health. Adding a vitamin or mineral supplement to the diet may create a nutritional imbalance and actually be harmful to the pet. This is especially true for young, growing, large breed dogs. Adding a calcium or phosphate supplement can actually increase the risk of developmental bone disease.
