Dog Vitamins to Stay Away From - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Consumerlab.com tested some canine vitamins and some failed the tests for various reasons. Here is the quote from MSN's website:

"Joint MAX Regular Strength, Now with Manganese, made by Pet Health Solutions, contained just 2.1 percent of the chondroitin advertised on its label, but did contain the proper amount of glucosamine.

"Nutri-Vet Nutritionals Hip & Joint Soft Chews was found to be lacking in both ingredients with 47.2 percent of the advertised glucosamine and 0.7 percent of the chondroitin.

"ConsumerLab.com also tested a vitamin marketed for dogs called Pet-Tabs Complete Daily Vitamin-Mineral Supplement for Dogs and found the product was contaminated with 1.4 micrograms of lead per tablet." (Eeek!)

Does anyone know which canine vitamin brands are considered reliable?
