Yes, you can safely give this in a healthy dog, but I would question the reason for giving it. This is not necessary and is already in adequate quantity in the dog food. Excessive amounts will not be useful and will just be excreted. In certain conditions like liver and kidney disease it may be dangerous. I hope that helps.
