Doberman Puppy Supplements
Most of your dog’s nutritional needs should be met by the good quality food you provide them. But as an extra reassurance you may wish to give your Doberman adult or puppy supplements. Before you decide on using supplements you should discuss your particular dog’s health with your vet. The vet can also suggest what the proper dosage should be for your dog’s weight. In most cases the average healthy dog can benefit from a multivitamin & mineral and fish oil supplements.
Fish oils supply omega-3 fatty acids that give your dog a nice coat and skin and support their immune system. For large dogs, a dose of 1000mg once a day may be appropriate. My dogs seemed to enjoy a fish capsule pill as a treat.
For any specific health issues your dog may have it’s best to research that particular condition, what supplements are recommended and then discuss this with your vet. If you are considering using less known supplements look for peer-reviewed, non-biased, documented research studies to ensure safety. Again your vet is a good resource here, as they should be aware of any new treatments and studies that have been proven effective and safe.
