I am sorry to hear that Cherry was having stomach problems. In most cases, a multi vitamin is not needed if a dog is eating a commercial dog food as these diets are formulated to include all necessary nutrients. I would recommend talking to your vet about the best food for Cherry if she has a history of GI upset. Chicken alone will not be a balanced diet and so she will need to have other ingredients added to her diet or will need to go back to a commercial diet once her stomach is settled. If you are interested in making homemade diets I would consult your vet and recommend this website to help formulate a diet, the site also includes information on vitamine supplementation if needed: https://secure.balanceit.com/index.php
