Yes, of course you can use the Daily Multi Plus for your new puppy! This supplement does not have added calcium, just the amount of calcium found naturally in the herbs in this formula and will have no negative impact on a large breed puppy. It is important to mention that much of the research on the issue of calcium and large breed dogs has been done using processed foods. In these diets the calcium is generally from sources not consumed in their natural form, from bones or plants, but instead an isolated mineral like calcium carbonate. Compared with a dry, kibble diet, your dog would greatly benefit from a whole food diet with real bone or a supplement like the Natural Bone Calcium as part of a diet you prepare for your dog at home. We have some good suggestions in our article How to feed Your Dog. Regardless of how your proceed with diet, two supplements we recommend for large breed puppies to make sure their joints and connective tissue get the proper nutrients for good development and strength are the Elk Velvet Antler and Collagen.
