Hello, is daily vitamin for an adult female really necessary? If so what vitamin you recommend? I will like to breed her several time also in the future. Thanks.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kaya. If she is eating a well balanced quality diet, there is no reason to add a daily vitamin. The diet is designed to meet all of her nutritional needs. Look for a diet that is certified by AAFCO. This means that the food has been tested and is appropriate for her needs. While pregnant and then lactating, she should eat puppy food for the extra calories, fat and protein content. I hope this information helps!
