Do most mammals have the same nutritional needs as humans with regards to the ratio of each vitamin and mineral to each other (regardless of overall quantity).
For example, do any mammals have an extra requirement for vitamin A or for iron? Or do most mammals simply need every specific vitamin and mineral to fulfil x% of their nutritional intake, and it is the same for other mammals?

Every vitamin is used by bodies for some purpose. Depending on what a certain species has or do, you’ll need more or less of certain vitamin.
Animals with “bigger” brain will usually require more energy to make it work. Animals with large, constantly growing claws/teeths will need certain vitamin to keep growing them. Animals with hot blood will need more food for their heat.
Everything has a use, and what your body can do decide how much of each you need in average.
