Dr. Char talks about how each breed and size of dog has individual needs, and why adding supplements and tailoring a diet to each individual dog’s needs will provide optimal health and maintain homeostasis for the animal.

We do need to supplement a dog’s diet because our knowledge of what a perfect diet is – is inadequate. Because it’s really different for each breed. They have recognized that in the traditional community. There’s large breeds and small breeds and some have big teeth and others have little mouths and need little particle sizes and they try to accommodate that.

But still, our knowledge isn’t perfect and we need to give a variety of different foods and we probably also want to supplement so that the dog will have everything it needs so that reactions will occur and that the body will grow and respond normally to any allergens or other stressful events that occur in its life. Then it will have everything it needs to sustain its normal homeostasis.
