This is a very good question! It is always wise to be proactive about our pet's health. If you ever have concerns about how your dog is doing then a call and visit to your vet can help to set your mind at ease. Things to watch for that would indicate health problems include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite and energy level, unusual behaviors and limping. Discuss food recommendations with your regular veterinarian. Brands such as Purina, Hills and Royal Canin all have veterinarians on-staff to ensure their food is top quality and nutritionally balanced. If you are feeding a good balanced diet then supplements of vitamins and minerals are not necessary.

I apologize, I looked up Bronchial Wellness as posted in your last question, not the Natural Pet Bronchial Wellness! Bronchial Wellness is the human form, and it contained eucalyptus essential oil, which is toxic to dogs. That was my concern with it. The Natural Pet Bronchial Wellness is designed for animals when they have symptoms of bronchial congestion or cough. I would only use in on Merrill when she has symptoms of that, not a regular basis. If the DMG makes her tired, then I wouldn't use it at all on her. It's supposed to be used daily to get it's fully effects, and using it only once a week will not give her the full benefits of the supplementation. I hope this helps, sorry for the confusion earlier :-)

Nikki is adorable! Thank you so much for posting pictures. You posted about a number of concerns, so hopefully I can address all of them. As far as her teeth go, it is always recommended to have a full dental cleaning under anesthesia to resolve any underlying problems and pain, then follow up with something like a water additive to decrease additional dental calculus from forming. My favorite dental product is PetSmile, but it does need to be applied to the teeth. https://petsmileusa.com There has been a lot of evidence that increasing the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids in the diet can make a big difference for inflammation and itching. Since a diet change and adding Omega 3 fatty acids to the diet can both cause loose stool, I normally only recommend that clients make one change to a diet at a time (which includes supplements). Both Acana and Wellness make a wonderful fish based diet, so I do not have a preference between the 2 of those. Make sure you do a gradual diet change over a period of days to prevent any GI upset and loose stools. Then, if you still need to add in an Omega 3 fatty acid supplement, you could add something like Nordic Naturals. https://www.nordicnaturals.com/petRet/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using PetCoach.

Hello. As long as you feed Hadli the best quality food you can, keep her up to date on her vaccinations, keep her on heartworm preventative there is not much else for you to do but supply plenty of love. Where people get into trouble is when they try to over-supplement a pet & thus introduce imbalances. Do not let your pet become obese, give her plenty of exercise, & follow your veterinarians recommendations for any testing that might be appropriate as she ages. Just like they recommend for you & me, eating a healthy balanced diet is far more important than any supplements you can buy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

This product has not been tested for safety in pregnant dogs. That said, a quick search of individual ingredients reveals that licorice root and nettle root should not be given to pregnant dogs and echinacea should be used with caution in pregnant/nursing dogs. Since these are in the ingredient list and to be safe, you should not give this product to Vienna until she has whelped and the litter has been weaned.
