Caution: Don't Randomly Feed Vitamins for Dog Skin Dise
Hello everyone, welcome to Oxygen Pet Doctor~
Many pet owners might have read my articles where I often mention the need to supplement Vitamin B for dogs and cats with skin diseases. However, you might be wondering which specific Vitamin B to take, and whether other vitamins can be effective as well. It's important to note that vitamins come in many forms, each with its unique functions. Nonetheless, vitamins should never replace medication for treating conditions!
Specifically, consuming Vitamin B2 and B6 can boost the immune system against skin diseases in dogs, aiding in the repair of the skin barrier. However, if your dog already has a skin condition, it's crucial to seek timely medical treatment!
What Different Vitamins Can Do
(Note: These are for preventive and辅助 treatment purposes and should not replace medication!)
Vitamin A: Fatsoluble, beneficial for bone health, immune function, and vision.
Vitamin B1: Nervous inflammation, intestinal issues
Vitamin B2: Fungal infections (like ringworm), rough hair, cheilitis, halitosis
Vitamin B3: Halitosis, stomatitis, oral ulcers, dermatitis, diarrhea
Vitamin B5: Aids in wound healing and prevents fatigue
Vitamin B6: Seborrheic dermatitis, red skin, dandruff, arthritis

Vitamin C: Watersoluble, strengthens the immune system, aids in development and tissue repair. It also maintains healthy teeth, bones, and promotes iron absorption.
Vitamin D: Dogs cannot produce this vitamin naturally. It regulates bone metabolism and helps absorb calcium and phosphorus as needed.
Vitamin E: Fatsoluble, has antioxidant properties. It can effectively protect cell membranes when dogs are injured.
Vitamin H: Biotin, watersoluble. Beneficial for the skin, hair, nails, and eyes in dogs, and can also alleviate allergic reactions.

Vitamins B2, B3, B6, and B12 are particularly friendly to dogs with skin diseases.
Regular care can be obtained from food sources:
Vitamin B2: Oats, chicken liver, egg yolks
Vitamin B3: Mushrooms, figs, carrots
