Default Adding anti-oxidents to my dogs food?

If I were to add anti-oxidents to my dogs diet, what should I add and
what levels? for instance should I add Vitamin C, E, Selenium and beta
caroteen and at what levels? What else?

.........personally I wouldn't add selenium, unless you've got a severe coat
problem and are using it as part of treatment. Selenium could be overdosed
easily. I don't have the URL handy at the moment, but do a search for
Canine Vitamin Advisor. It's a site by Dr. Clemmons, DVM that will tell you
about supplements and suggested levels.

.......what are you feeding? Does your dog have any kind of medical problem?

Nick,

That would be silly and dangerous unless you are a trained
professional. As mentioned, a little of something may be good but that
doesn't mean that a lot is better. Too many vitamins/minerals could
over tax your dogs liver and kill him. You didn't mention why you feel
the need to do this so we're assuming your dog is in good health and
already using a food that contains ample amounts of vitamins/minerals?
