Hello! What are some opinions out there on giving vitamin c supplements for raw fed dogs? Is it necessary?

Thanks!

There is some anecdotal evidence of vitamin C helping dogs with joint issues, perhaps because of it's antioxidant effects. Like Gally said, dogs synthesize their own vitamin C. If one chooses to supplement with it, it needs to be ester-c, as this is more readily absorbed. It can cause GI upset and diarrhea.
