	I know I've seen several types of supplements out there which are supposed to help to provide what's "missing" from kibble. I tried doing a google search but I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know the names of some of those supplements? The only one I could think of was Wysong Addlife.

	The only thing I reccomend is fish oil since most kibble is difficient in omega 3's, but unless your dog has specific issues, theres no real need to supplement kibble with extra vitamins since its already fortified.

	I believe you're thinking of a product called Missing Link; as long as you use it as directed there is no risk of over-supplementation when feeding with a kibble or canned diet. I supplement the dogs' food when they get kibble with bee pollen, omega 3 fish oil or organic flax oil, probiotics, and for Peg due to age cranberry supplement, and I've never had a problem so far and the vet knows I supplement with these and especially recommends the flax oil/omega 3 fish oil, but I also give it in appropriate amounts.

	I only use Nupro when there is health problem, but I do like it. Missing Link has sugar (molasses). It seems some dogs have digestive problems with ML.

	Salmon, anchovy, sardine, or/and mackerel are good fish oils. Fantastic supplement for anybody not feeding grass-fed meat, because factory-farm (a.k.a "regular") meat is very low in O-3 and high in O-6. In summation, fish oil is good for skin, coat, eyes, joints, brain, neurological function, etc. Enzymes are a fantastic addition to any cooked diet, e.g. kibble or canned. Basically, enzymes are important to health. Cooking destroys enzymes. When you put enzymes back in the food, health improves. Here's my write-up about it, Enzymes: How and Why They Make You (& Fido) Better

	I really want to start giving Karma recovery, just to help with joints, more as a preventative since she has no problems now.. but you never know, I also want to start giving fish oil.
