My dog is on Vital Essentials freeze-dried raw, sauerkraut and Fera probiotic. Should I add anything to her diet? Like a multi vitamin or supplement? I just want to ensure she is getting all the nutrients.

She will be getting all she needs thru the raw diet as long as it contains organ meat which I think it does.

Also rotating proteins provides them with the widest variety of nutrients cause each protein has different benefits. So rotating proteins is best no matter what you feed.

I don’t think you need to add anything else, sometimes supplements like multivitamins might give them too much of something and maybe not enough of something else, and lots of those supplements are synthetic which is actually not absorbed anyway.

When I read the Vital Essentials website and product info, it just says it has meat. I have emailed them to ask if it contains bones and organs. I know the FROZEN meat has them but not sure about the FREEZE DRIED.
