Acana food already has fish oil & probiotics. Should I add more?

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years and 4 months old | 17 lbs

Do I need to add fish oil or probiotics to Acana foods? i noticed they already include this in their food in balanced amounts. The omega 3:6 ratio is 1:2.5 in the Acana foods, is this ok or is fish oil good to add?

If Chloe is not experiencing any health issues like skin problems, heart issues, or kidney disease then it would be unnecessary to add in additional fish oil. Too much fish oil could result in diarrhea so I wouldn't suggest adding it if there aren't any health issues. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!?
