Hi there. If you are feeding a nutritionally complete and balanced commercial diet from a reputable company such as Purina, Iams, Hills, or Royal Canin, there is no need to supplement the diet with other things. You can give small amounts of meat or vegetables as a treat, as long as these "extras" don't comprise more than 10% of the total diet.
