Pros and cons of the Brevers complex
Brewers vitamins for dogs are made from garlic extract and inactive brewer's yeast. Natural and unique ingredients in the composition are the main advantage of the brand. Brewers Yeast is not only a vitamin complex, but also a proven preventative against parasites. Helminths do not like the taste and smell of garlic and will not settle in the dog’s body.
The downside is the insufficiently wide range of the Brevers line and the manufacturer’s lack of forethought regarding what food the dog is fed. Not all vitamins are designed for animals on a natural diet. If your pet eats dry fortified food, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian before using the complex. After all, it is known that hypervitaminosis harms the animal’s health no less than a lack of nutrients.

Reviews of Brewers vitamins from dog lovers
Oksana: I’ve liked 8 in 1 vitamins for a long time. I give my dog Excel Small Breed multivitamin. My miniature Spitz eats vitamins with great appetite. The pills are easy to chew and their size is smaller than standard. The condition of the dog's coat, skin and teeth is important to us. The dog feels good, its fur is shiny and glossy. I recommend the complex to all breeders of decorative and small breeds.
Elena: My dog underwent a complex operation to remove a cancerous tumor. It took a long time for the immune system to recover after the operation. The veterinarian recommended feeding the animal vitamins from 8 in 1 Excel Brewers Yeast for 15 days. The rehabilitation period passed in a short time, the dog feels better.
Olga: The Yeast Mega Tabs vitamin complex is a real find for owners of large breeds. For my Central Asian Shepherd I had to purchase 5-10 bottles of vitamins from another manufacturer at a time. Yeast Mega Tabs are economical, give only 1 per 25 kg of animal weight. Externally, the animal was transformed, its fur shone, its appetite appeared, and the dog became more active.
