"My chihuahua was recently diagnosed with CHF. I’ve been giving her this supplement in addition to her medication and she has been improving. I will continue to keep her on this supplement.

"I bought this for my older boxer because she likes to eat poo and I read this would help. I don’t see a difference and when I sprinkle it on her food, she won’t eat. I also feel like the cost is super high for how little you get in the jar. I don’t recommend this product."

Bottom Line

The Dr. Mercola Pet Vitamin B Complex can be beneficial for some pets, but its high cost and packaging issues may be deal-breakers for others. Consider alternative supplements if cost and ease of use are priorities.
