Vitamin A is a vital nutrient for skin health in dogs. It plays a crucial role in cell regeneration, helping to maintain the structure and function of the skin. Adequate levels of Vitamin A can prevent dryness, flakiness, and the development of certain skin infections.
A high-quality, complete and balanced dog food should provide an adequate amount of vitamin A for your dog. If your veterinarian recommends additional vitamin A for your dog, you could include vitamin A-rich foods in your dog's diet, such as cooked liver, broccoli and sweet potatoes. Alternatively, look for dog supplements that contain this essential vitamin for optimal skin health.
