Clark's food is very high quality with many supplements added. The food is also a natural source of other vitamins.
I would like to give Clark a supplement as soon as he is old enough. I would use Dogzymes Complete. I'm just not sure if a supplement is necessary given his health and diet.
Unless your veterinarian recommended it, I don't think it is a good idea to add anything to a quality dog food. You can find a list of quality dog foods at dogfoodadvisor.com
If you are feeding a good, complete food adding supplements is likely to do more harm than good - there are several vitamins etc that can be dangerous in excess.
If you are feeding a calorically adequate and nutritionally complete diet to a healthy dog I would not waste money on such a supplement. Use the money to go take a trick dog class or buy a nice toy.
The only supplements I feed is salmon oil from time to time. If you already have a wholesome diet, you don’t need the supplements. The excess will not get absorbed and flushed out of the system which is a bit wasteful. But I totally get reason why you are curious about supplements especially when you just got your poodle. I was also extra careful about Lucky’s food when I first got him.
I also don't think Clark will need any supplements to his high quality diet. I don't add any supplements to any of my dogs diets . My smaller dogs usually last 17 years. I have a chihuahua now who is 16, and he could still outrun any of the others, lol.

Based on the great advice that I have received here, I don't think that I will bother with the supplement after all.
