your best bet is to ask the dane people these questions on feeding.... (in the dane thread)

they are all really really helpful and im sure you'll find all the answers you need!

If you are feeding a good diet you dont need to over supplement/Look at what your feeding & then decide what could be improved.

Agree .

Giant breeds have special diet needs- best to ask the experts.

Flaxseed oil is for coat- omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.

Kelp/ seaweed has iodine and is sometimes suggested for keeping good pigment on dogs (e.g. nice black noses etc.).

Honey- is basically sugar, so wouldn't bother.

Alfalfa- ?

Digestive enzyme- ? (maybe if dog has a digestive problems)

Apple cider vinegar- often suggested as an overall tonic as well as preventing dead patches in your lawn from urine.

I'd say that unless you notice your dog acting/looking lacklustre, don't add unnecessary supplements. If you're feeding a prey model/raw food diet, your dog is getting all it needs and nothing it doesn't.
