What is vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a vital micronutrient for all animals and humans. It plays a central role in immune system function – acting as an antioxidant to protect against the damage caused by free radicals.
Most dog foods only contain trace amounts of vitamin C, so supplementation can be a sensible option for the wellbeing of your dog.
Benefits of vitamin C for dogs
The benefits of vitamin C for dogs are numerous, but most importantly, it:
- Supports immune system function
- Assists with the absorption of iron
- Helps with the formation of collagen
- Aids with development of bones, teeth and cartilage
- Has the potential to promote wound healing
Does my dog need vitamin C?
Dogs cannot store vitamin C, so it must be consumed on a daily basis.
Vitamin C is involved in numerous bodily processes, but is best known for its effect on the immune system. Just like humans – as dogs age – their immune systems become less effective and so supplementing with vitamin C is a smart move.
Vitamin C can also be used proactively to supplement the diet of any dog that is not consuming sufficient vitamin C. This is a common scenario, as most commercial dog foods contain only trace amounts of vitamin C.
