    If you are feeding your pup a good grade puppy chow, vitamins and minerals will be included and if it is a large breed as a golden, then glucosmine/controintin will be included as well for healthy joints. Any extra vitamins will be eliminated by the pup's system as not being needed. As with humans, our bodies can only assimilate a certain amount of vitamins, anything else is eliminated.

    I don't know about the eye condition, doesn't sound right, or you are not explaining it correctly, but I would have your vet take a look at what you are describing.

    Please do not feed these any more.
    Buy yourself a GOOD quality dog food with less than 24% protein... If you are feeding this then you should NOT feed any suppliments unless you dog actually has a vitamin deficiency... adding vitamins to a medium/large breeds diet can have devastating consequences...

    visit the site below for all you need to know about feeding your dog... The site is called "The Great Dane Lady" she is a nurtritional consultant specialising in larger breeds.
