I use something called Pet-tabs. Their avail at most petstores and alot of websites. They are affordable, and work very well! I have two dogs, and they were getting one each everyday. I figured it was just a good idea to give to them.
Then I had ran out and wasn't able to get to the store for awhile. they went two weeks without them.
I noticed a considerable differences in their energy levels, and my smaller dog started having his skin issues come back, super dry skin and a booboo on his chin stopped healing.
So I just wanted to say, that these worked out very good for my pups and I suggest you try them out unless otherwise stated by your vet
