Opinions regarding the addition of supplements such as vitamins, minerals, herbal mixtures, nutraceuticals, etc. to a dog's regular diet vary widely, from outright advocacy over conditional support to complete opposition. There are some excellent books available on subjects such as natural health, holistic alternatives etc. Swissy breeders and owners who use supplements are also a good source of information.

Brush Creek Swissys are supplemented daily with Sodium Ascorbate (a form of Vit. C), Vit. E, an herbal supplement, Olewo carrots (pelletized dried carrots) and when needed, with digestive enzymes such as Fastrack and Universal Enzyme Formula.
