Hello. If your dog is losing weight I would recommend having them seen by the veterinarian. Dogs are not usually deficient in vitamins if they are eating a balanced dog food so it may be that she has something else going on. I would have your vet check her out and do some blood work to find out what's happening. Best to you and Whitney.
