My dog is on too many supplements. Which ones should I stop giving?

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 4 years and 9 months old | 17 lbs

Melanie can I ask your opinion? I'm giving my dog seven supplements but I've been told this is too much. Can you recommend which ones I should cut out please. I've been giving fish oil, vitamin e, probiotics and enzymes, multivitamin, coq10, a joint pill, and golden paste. (Turmeric and coconut oil) I'm uncertain which ones I shouldn't give. Thanks!

I'm glad to help you! I think the enzymes you should give are CoQ10 and the joint pill. I do think you are giving too many, especially if Chloe is on a high quality diet. Too many supplements can be detrimental to her health, so I would stick with only the CoQ10 and joint pill :-)

    If you feed a complete good quality dog food, Chloe does not need all these supplements. If you like keep giving the Co q10, and the joint pill. Leave off everything else. Too many supplements can actually make your dog sick.
