That's just it. If you gave everything that people on YT use, you'd be giving (this is a condensed list):

Multi vitamin
Glucosamine with MSM
Probiotics
Digestive enzymes
Omega oil
Vitamin e
Missing Link
PetzLife
Some form of toothpaste

And obviously this is just too much. So you have to decide what your individual pup needs. Her food contains all the vitamins (A, B, D. etc.) that she needs. So that eliminated number 1. There is no need to give glucosamine if there isn't a joint problem present. And you just have to go through the list that way.

A healthy dog doesn't need any of the above expect toothpaste. Some things may be beneficial though. Is she not thriving in some way?
