I used to give them daily Lel. I made up the healthy powder recipe in Pitcairns book & they had it daily along with the other vits he recommends. Then when I changed them to completely raw they would have Vits E,C, Salmon oil caps & B complex, along with kelp, echinacea & or spirulina. Also apple cider vinegar & or colloidal silver :) But mine did have skin probs/ear probs, hot spots, allergies etc. Nowadays tho, with all those problems cleared up & not returned thanks goodness :) I only give whats necessary on a when its needed basis. For example if theres a stressful situation at home for one reason or another I`ll give vitC, then in the summer when they do a lot of swimming vitE & fish oil, before going to a show vitC, B complex. But I usually look things up in my books or the net & then decides what best for each situation cos I`ll combine it with h/pathy &/or herbs. Also the amounts very for size/weight of dogs :)
