A daily multivitamin can fill nutritional gaps and support joints, skin, and immunity. Here's how to choose the best one for your dog.
Does your dog need one?
Dogs on a complete and balanced commercial diet usually get what they need. But multivitamins help homemade-diet dogs, picky eaters, seniors, and dogs needing targeted support for joints, skin, or immunity.

What to look for
Choose a multivitamin with clearly listed ingredients and amounts, made by a reputable brand. Look for support that matches your dog's needs — glucosamine for joints, omega-3s for skin and coat, probiotics for digestion.
All-in-one options
A comprehensive daily chew that combines joint, skin, digestive, and immune support is a convenient way to cover the bases. Pair it with a quality diet rather than using it to fix a poor one.
Don't over-supplement
More isn't better — excess of certain vitamins (like A and D) can be harmful. Stick to recommended doses and check with your vet before stacking multiple supplements, especially for dogs on medication.
