Best Answer

In that B-12 occurs naturally when a dog eats a good, normal diet, sure it's safe for dogs. However, if your dog's diet is even close to balanced, there is no need for you to add B-12 to it. In all things, toxicity is a function of dosage. As your dog is likely getting sufficient B-12, adding more wouldn't make things better, and might prove injurious. Consider talking to your Vet about this one. In the mean time please hold off. If your dog has kidney failure, and refuses to eat the suggested dog food suggested by your vet, try preparing a balanced meal for him and supplement with Vitamin B-complex. Some vets say that vitamin B-complex used by humans can also be used by dogs.
