Is it safe to give my 5-month Golden puppy calcium and multivitamins?

Question

I have a 5 months old golden retriever. Right now I am giving him royal canin golden retriever junior along with around 10-ml multivitamin and around 15-ml calcium supplements. Is that okay? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 5 months and 17 days old | 33 lbs

No, I would not give Milo multi-vitamins of calcium supplements. While puppies do need higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult dogs, their puppy formulated food will provide that for him. It's never recommend to give puppies multivitamins and extra calcium as that can have detrimental effects on their growth, especially excess calcium. Stop giving Milo this supplements now, and be sure to feed him a high quality large breed puppy formulated food such as Royal Canin.
