Once I start using supplements will I have to do so forever?

No. I have always felt the best way to supplement is to rotate, which simply means rotating a well-balanced regime to:

•⁠  ⁠protect and feed the gut
•⁠  ⁠support the portal system (liver, kidneys, pancreas, and gallbladder)
•⁠  ⁠support immune function
•⁠  ⁠strengthen and support the joints and muscles
•⁠  ⁠improve food digestion

By rotating, the body does not become complacent. It gives the body the reminder and support to heal and stay healthy but you are not continuing to try and do its job for it. Saying that, animals with very compromised issues or animals that have to stay on drugs (like seizure medication, NSADs, or steroids) will need constant support.

That said, there is a distinct difference between food/nutrition and supplements. For example, Phyto Synergy, in my opinion, I would consider nutrition and it is a main-stay for my furry family and myself. Beneficial bacteria is also something that I consider to be helpful long-term as your dog’s food is so depleted in natural friendly bacteria. This means giving a pre and probiotic long term is very helpful. Rotation is still helpful, but these you can give all the time.
