As long as you are using a good quality dog food there should be no need for a dietary supplement. Most of their daily vitamin needs are found in good quality foods. This can be supplemented with RAW chicken wings, lean mince (not too much) and vegetable (no onion of course), generally some of YOUR left overs (assuming you eat balanced meals) mixed with a quality food should be enough to keep your dog happy and healthy.
The only time i would use a supplement is if their was some indication that it was needed, such as a skin condition or poor coat etc. Obviously if that was the case, your first point of call should be to the vet to ensure there are no other issues such as mange or an underlying illness. But since you have said that he is very healthy i can see no reason as to why you should feel the need to introduce a supplement.
Good luck

They should get everything they need from their food, as long as it’s a good brand of food. I would recommend speaking with you vet about his diet.

Only add supplements if you know your dog is lacking in essential nutrients.
Otherwise if supplements are added when not needed they create imbalances.
If you feed dog food, then it will contain all the vitamins and minerals already.
I feed my dog all raw, human grade food, I dont add supplements because he gets everything he needs from the food source.
Fish oils are an exception, these can be added and be highly beneifical.
