Hi there! You could certainly give Peanut a multi-vitamin if you want to, but she shouldn't need one as long as she's on a good quality dog food. If she doesn't have much energy, it's possible that this is just her personality; or, if this is a recent change for her, she may have a medical condition of some kind that is causing her not to feel well. In that case, I would recommend taking her to the vet for a check-up. He/she may suggest blood work or other testing to help determine if anything is wrong.
