B-vitamins might be small, but they have a huge impact on your dog’s wellbeing. This family of water-soluble nutrients plays an essential role in metabolism, nervous system function, and overall vitality.
Why B-Vitamins Matter
Every time your dog eats, B-vitamins are hard at work behind the scenes. Acting as cofactors for key enzymes, they help convert dietary fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into usable energy, keeping your dog alert, active, and thriving.
Because B-vitamins aren’t stored in large amounts, your dog needs a steady dietary supply to stay in balance. This is especially important for:
-
Active or working dogs with higher energy demands
-
Puppies and growing dogs developing muscle and tissue
-
Senior dogs whose metabolism naturally slows
-
Dogs recovering from illness or digestive upset
When Levels Drop
Low B-vitamin levels can develop quickly, particularly during periods of reduced appetite or digestive disturbance. Research shows that even 10 days of poor intake can significantly impact vitamin B status, especially vitamin B12, which is crucial for gastrointestinal and cellular health.
