I use Puritan's Pride (order from their internet site) for supplements/vitamins for all of my dogs and for myself. I spent a good bit of time researching companies in relation to their quality control - published assays of their products - since there is no FDA control of supplements/vitamins. In other words - do the products contain what the labels state that they contain.
I get Co-Q10, 200 IU vitamin E (be sure to use natural and not synthetic vitamin E), omega 3 fish oil capsules and glucosamine/chondroitin products from Puritan's Pride. I don't like "combination" products for the reasons that you stated - most have way too little amount of what you want to give, and they contain other items that you don't want to give. Combination products combine a little bit of everything along with the proverbial "kitchen sink."
Similarly, we use "human" medications for dogs - I purchase almost all prescription medications for the dogs at human pharmacies for the same reasons as above - much cheaper and better quality control.
