Dr. Harvey's Herbal Multi-Vitamin and Mineral Supplement for Dogs (7 Ounces)

This is our second order of Dr. Harvey’s Multi-Vitamin, and let me tell you—Champ (our very spoiled pup) has made it very clear that we’re not allowed to run out again. 😂We sprinkle this on his breakfast, and suddenly he’s acting like it’s a five-star meal. He literally licks the bowl clean and then gives us those “more please” eyes. The photo is him mid-lick this morning—clearly living his best, most nutritious life.But it’s not just the food obsession—his coat is shinier, he seems more energetic, and we’ve even had people at the dog park say, “What are you feeding him? He’s glowing!” (Yes, Champ is basically a canine influencer now.)If you’re on the fence, just go for it. It’s made a noticeable difference in how he looks and feels—and if Champ could type, he’d give this five paws up. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

☆real review☆I have bought this product five times. I just purchased my sixth one today. I make my dogs food every week. I just boiled chicken and put in a whole grain and vegetables, and then I add this to their food after it is cooked. I mix it in on sunday nights, because I pre measure my dog's food intake, i know how much to give them. My chihuahuas love this. When we go to the vet, they always comment how healthy they look. how shiny their coat is. How their overall health is really good.I can't afford to buy like purina wet dog food every week, but I want them to have something more than just hard food. And I want them to have nutrition on top of it. And this product is the best, because even if all I can afford that week is to make shredded chicken and oats for them, i can add this to that, and they get that good nutrient that they need.

This product is awesome if your dog digs and eats the dirt. Especially if you feed "No Grain" dog food. This helps balance them out by adding minerals and nutrients they need. My dogs stopped digging and eating the dirt once on it around 3 weeks. It's amazing stuff and really helps their gut also.

Excellent product

It seems this product is helping my 11 year old dachshund. She seems to be more energetic and spunky. Would order again.A 4-star rating due to not really knowing if this supplement is the soul reason for her energy.

My dogs absolutely love this addition to their food and has not caused them any gastric upset. I have one dog that has food allergies and I have to make him homemade dog food so this is great for him to get in all his nutrients. My other dog does half kibble and half homemade food with this supplement as well. I always add it on top of the food with some warm water to make a little gravy for them and they love it! Will continue to keep using this product.

Still early only been a few days, but wow my chihuahua absolutely devours this stuff shes never eaten like this she keeps licking bowl wanting more. So far extremely happy. Hope to update in a month or so.

In the info on the product, Dr Harvey's states: "Provides optimal vitamin & mineral support when paired with a whole-food base food, such as Dr Harvey's Paradigm or Canine Health." That tells you that it's incomplete without a whole food base to go with the MVM for home feeding. There is no vitamin C, D or K in it. More importantly, I just started feeding my senior dog the equivalent of this MVM that Dr. Harvey's calls "Golden Years," which is oriented towards "older" dogs. In reality, that's 7-8yo and up, but they don't make that very clear on their herbal MVM products. I called the company in February, before I changed over and ordered "GY" for my 14-year-old Pug. I was encouraged to use it with one of their whole food bases such as Raw Vibrance or Paradigm, and was told the same about their original MVM (reviewed here). My original question was whether or not either MVM was complete without a whole food base. I had been using this original herbal MVM for at least two years, and was trying to determine whether I should switch to the Golden Years version. The representative said no (in February), that their herbal MVMs were not complete without one of their base foods. So I purchased Raw Vibrance. Then, when I called last week (mid-July), I was told these herbal MVMs do NOT need to be combined with the base food, and that they are sufficient on their own. And that if you're using one of their whole food bases, you don't need to add their herbal multivitamin & mineral supplement also. But what really concerns me, is that there is a Caution on the back of the "Golden Years" herbal MVM supplement that states long-term use can intensify or cause hyper-cortisol symptoms, including hypertension, which vets normally never check. My dog was diagnosed with Cushing's disease in late June. All of the terrible symptoms are due to high cortisol. Quite clearly, that herbal MVM (GY) worsened my dog's Cushing's symptoms between March and July, so I absolutely discontinued it when I read that "Caution" again last week. When I called the company and asked whether this original herbal MVM would also exacerbate Cushing's symptoms, or high cortisol (not just the Golden Years version), they said "it probably would but we don't put the caution on it because Cushing's is mostly diagnosed in older dogs." So they're assuming only dogs under seven are using this original MVM, and that dogs under seven won't get Cushing's or other cortisol related disorders, and potentially be harmed by their herbal MVM. That age-related info is no longer true in 2023, and never was. Veterinary technology has just improved diagnosis. Dogs of any age can get Cushing's etc as it can be genetic. Any pet parent who has not had experience with Cushing's disease, or anything related to the adrenals producing too much cortisol, or too little (Addison's), would not even know what that "Caution" meant. It can take well over a year to get a proper Cushing's diagnosis, while you don't know what is wrong with your dog--whether it might be hypothyroidism or diabetes or Cushing's or what. My dog was still in the exam process when I first called them about the MVM products in February. When I read the Caution, I did not understand that it could exacerbate "Cushing's" symptoms. But I clearly recognized that it did last week, after several months of experience with rapidly worsening Cushing's high cortisol symptoms, and learning that the MVM can also cause hypertension, one of the dangerous symptoms of high cortisol, and which the product cautions it can cause. Now, 6 days later, after discontinuing the GY version, my dog's Cushing's medication decreased his cortisol to a dangerously low level--due to the effect of discontinuing the GY, which had been increasing his cortisol. This is exactly why it's unsafe to give herbal supplements to our pets without an integrative or holistic vet involved, especially one like this that does not state how much of each herb is in the product.
