Should my dog take joint pills, fish oil, and other supplements?

Question

Is it ok to give my dog a joint pill, fish oil and probiotics and enzymes? Or would you just do the joint pill? I've always been fond of fish oil for dogs. Her food does have a ratio of 6:1 of omega 6's and 3's so I'm sure she doesn't technically need it. i would only do those few supplements. What would you recommend? Are those ok or do you not recommend them? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 4 years and 9 months old | 17 lbs

If Chloe's food does have a ration of 6:1 omega 6's and 3's, then she doesn't need a fish oil supplement. Too much fish oil can have detrimental effects on the health of a dog including interfering with wound healing. The only pill I would recommend giving Chloe would be the joint pill :-)
