• When we think about nutritiously rich dog food
  the first thing that comes to our minds is fat
  and protein content. However, many of us just
  miss to consider the major fact that along with
  proteins and fat, vitamins also play a crucial
  role in keeping your pets health at the top of
  the world.
• Similar to humans, dogs do require vitamins and
  minerals, and in lack of these vitamins, they
  suffer from numerous health conditions relating
  to deficiency diseases.
• Let us get well acquainted with the major vitamin
  deficiencies in dogs and get enlightened.

Vitamin A

• Usually, dogs suffer from various chronic
  conditions when the level of vitamin A dwindles.
  This can even lead to night blindness and skin
  issues.
• Vitamin A is a fat-soluble component and the food
  that is often low in fat is the major reason
  causing the deficiency.

Vitamin B1

• Its often seen that dogs are victim of vitamin
  B1 deficiency. This deficiency normally causes
  vomiting, drooling, and loss of appetite.
• Moreover, the most severe condition may arise
  when vitamin B1 deficiency lasts for 1 month.
  Unfortunately, some dogs have intestinal issues
  that do not absorb vitamin and some others are
  just missing the right doses in the raw or canned
  food provided, which happens to cause vitamin B1
  deficiency conditions.

Vitamin B2

• Vitamin B2 also popularly known as riboflavin
  exists as a coenzyme, which is responsible for a
  number of body functions. This vitamin is readily
  available in the foods you feed your pooch.
• However, the deficiency condition arises when the
  pets have been fallen sick or fed low nutritious
  diet. The inability to process the nutrients is
  also the number reason for Vitamin B2 deficiency.

  lead to complicating situations such as inflamed
  lips and gums, loss of appetite, seizures and
  bloody diarrhea.

  joints of your dog healthy. Like humans, dogs can
  also suffer from rickets Vitamin D deficiency
  disease, which leads to swollen joints and
  misshapen legs.

  ends to the accumulation of calcium in joints
  which is yet another health condition degrading
  the normal life of a dog.

Vitamin E

• Vitamin E comes with many health benefits. Not
  just limited to heart and liver, Vitamin E is
  beneficial for eyes as well as muscles and
  nerves.

  immunity power. Contrarily, too much intake of
  this vitamin can obstruct the easy absorption of
  other vitamins like Vitamin A and K. Deficiency
  of this vitamin can adversely mark the bad note
  on many health conditions.

  always on the verge to ensure that the dog food
  they feed their furry companions is highly
  nutritious and rich in the required vitamins,
