Respect your opinion but mine differs as does Belfield's and one of my vets.
Have supplemented with Vit C since the early 80's and have never had a issue
with. Just think people should be able to hear various opinions, read related
info and do what is best for them and not condemn those that differ.

Dogs manufacture their own vitamin C (all they need) through metabolizing
glucose from their food or that which is produced in the liver. Too much
vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in their body plus the metabolization of glycine
(an amino acid) can over acidify their urine and contribute to producing
oxalate crystals— aka kidney & bladder stones.
Only primates (including us humans!) and guinea pigs cannot manufacture their
own supply of vitamin C and need supplementation if they don’t get enough
through their diets.
