Giving dogs <b>vitamins designed for humans<\/b> can not only fail to bring the expected benefits, but also expose the health of our four-legged friends to serious risks. For example, too much vitamin A can be toxic for dogs, while it is safe for humans in much higher amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distinction in nutritional requirements between dogs and humans is significant. Dogs, for example, require different proportions of calcium and phosphorus. To ensure safety as well as efficacy, choose supplements specifically formulated with pet needs in mind, such as the essential-rich <b>Eloa product line<\/b> from Pets Pharma P.S.A. By providing products specifically formulated for dogs, you can avoid the risk of deficiencies or excesses of certain nutrients that could negatively affect your dog&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potential risks of feeding human vitamins to dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving <b>human vitamins<\/b> to dogs may seem like a simple way to boost their health, but it carries the risk of serious side effects. Human supplements often contain ingredients that are not only unsuitable for dogs, but may even be toxic. For example, chocolate, present in some energy supplements, is widely known to be harmful to dogs. But few people realize that caffeine, often added to vitamins for an energy boost, can also be dangerous to our four-legged friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vitamins When deciding whether to give your dog vitamins, it is essential to understand that animals and humans have different nutritional&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pets-supplements"],"acf":[],"rank_math_title":"Can a dog be given human vitamins?
