This is a great question! If you cook Leila a balanced diet, then you will not need to add any supplements to her food. That being said, it is hard to get the correct balance of nutrients in a home cooked diet on your own. Luckily there are two websites that I highly recommend that provide recipes for nutritious and well balanced home cooked diets you can make for Leila. One of the website is run the the UC Davis veterinary hospital and the recipes are formulated by veterinary nutritionalists so you know the diet is balanced. I will put the links to those websites below:
