Vitamin dog biscuits for Teacup Chihuahuas!

A few years ago, a close friend of mine used to have a wonderful Lhasa Apso puppy, Molly. Now Molly was the smartest dog I’ve ever seen. My friend had trained to do a number of really cool tricks. These weren’t your normal dogs tricks such as sit or beg or anything as basic as that. My friend would hide a dog treat in one hand and hold out both her hands and ask Molly to find the treat.

Every time I saw Molly do this trick, she always picked the correct hand.

Molly is also the only dog that I have seen who sorted her food before she ate it. My friend used to feed her a combination of wet food and dry dog biscuits. Now Molly wasn’t all that keen on the dog biscuits, so she would pick through her food, remove the dog biscuits and put them to one side. Once she’d completed this task, she would settle down, eat the wet food and leave the dog biscuits hidden in a corner.

With time, it became pretty obvious that Molly’s intelligence was a real double-edged sword. Molly hadn’t been feeling well, so my friend took her to the vet. The vet really couldn’t find anything wrong with her and suggested some vitamin tablets may help, just in case Molly’s diet was missing something. The idea was that Molly would take one tablet every day.

Molly really wasn’t keen on eating these tablets though. My friend tried to hide the vitamin tablet in Molly’s food. Molly would just sort through the food, remove the tablet and finish her meal. My friend tried to encourage her to eat the tablet by wrapping it in a piece of cheese. Molly would take this parcel and appear to eat the whole thing. My friend would assume that Molly’d also eaten the vitamin, until she found it lying on the kitchen floor.

If I remember rightly, my friend gave up trying to get Molly to eat the tablets! Fortunately, whatever Molly was suffering from seemed to go away and the urgency to get her to eat vitamin tablets reduced.

I was reminded of this story when I was looking for dog vitamins online for my Chihuahua, Paco. There seemed to be a number of different places to buy vitamin tablets which wouldn’t really be suitable for Paco. You see, it turns out that Paco is a very smart little chihuahua and there is NO WAY I can convince Paco to swallow a tablet, much like dear old Molly!

I really needed to find something more suitable.

My online searches eventually lead me to Pro-Vita Formula vitamin dog biscuits. The big difference with these is that the vitamins have been baked directly into the biscuit, so that I don’t have to try and convince Paco to eat them! As far as he’s concerned they are “just” his doggie treats.

The other thing that really impressed me about the Pr0-Vita biscuits (besides the fact that Paco loves them!) is that they will also take care of Paco’s teeth. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to brush a Chihuahua’s teeth, but it’s not much fun, I can tell you! Paco’s Pro-Vita biscuits also reduce the amount of tartar build up his teeth AND cure his really awful doggie breath!

If you are interested in trying out Pro-Vita vitamin biscuits for your pup, you can check out the maker’s website (and I have included a link to their site just below). In fact, I believe that they have an offer on at the moment, where you can get a month’s supply of Pro-Vita for just the costs of shipping. These biscuits are made for much larger dogs that Paco, so the month’s supply that they send me lasts me much longer than that!

Pro-Vita Formula Vitamin Biscuits for Dogs

For me, these vitamin biscuits have been a great find. I can rest assured knowing that Paco is getting all the right vitamins without the hassle of trying to force him to eat something he’d really rather not!
