About one month ago, we picked up our new little puppy from the SPCA. She is a small breed mixed dog. When we went into Pet Co to get her food, we wanted to make sure she was getting quality food- PREFERABLY without a large price tag. One of the people introduced us to Natural Balance Ultra Premium, and are on our second smaller bag now.
I am somewhat concerned now that I have learned that this product was recalled for the rice in the food, as the food we feed her has brown rice listed as the second ingredient. Our puppy is young, and I don't want to be giving her toxic food at a young age.
In addition, I bought some Pet Naturals dog multivitamins. I think this was a good move- as about 15 days into her stay with us, we learned she had tapeworm. I would assume that the multivitamin helped her get nutrients that the tapeworm would have otherwise deprived her of. Her supply is almost finished now, and my question here is, what would be specific benefits of continuing supplementing our puppy with vitamins? Is it recommended that all dogs take multivitamins?
