Vitamin A

descriptionWhat It Does

Controls how your pet's eyes adjust to low light, and maintains the protective lining of skin, lungs, and gut. In dogs and cats, vitamin A also regulates cell growth and supports immune defense against infections.

visibilityWhat You’ll Notice

A dog or cat getting enough vitamin A will have clear, bright eyes and smooth, supple skin. Night vision stays sharp, and the coat has a healthy sheen.
