Vit C and growing pups

How many of you supplement your youngsters with Vit C? What is the rationale behind this?

Re: Vit C and growing pups

I supplement starting at around 3 months. It's good for their immune system and there has been some research that it is good for joints.

I just try to rip the orange rinds out of their mouths and save the seeds for future trees.

Kidding.

Re: Vit C and growing pups

No vit c here. If your dog has allergies I wouldn't recommend it as the immune system is already hyperstimulated. Leave the immune system alone IMO.

Re: Vit C and growing pups

Be sure and use C with rosehips not ester C. Ester has calcium.

I give 125mg per 25 lbs of body weight daily up to one year of age and than give 1000 daily.
