Source of vitamin C

If something is labeled as a "source of vitamin C", it means that this ingredient contains a good amount of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps your dog's body fight free radicals and strengthen the immune system.

Unlike us humans, dogs can actually produce their own vitamin C in the liver. Nevertheless, it can be helpful for some dogs, especially in stressful situations or with certain health problems, to take in additional vitamin C through their food. It can help to support joint health, boost the immune system and generally provide more vitality.

So if you see a dog food that contains a 'source of vitamin C', you can assume that it is helping to provide your dog with an extra dose of this important vitamin. Typical natural sources of vitamin C in dog food are often fruits and vegetables such as carrots, blueberries or spinach.

It's always a good idea to read the label of the dog food and know what nutrients your dog is getting. This will ensure that your four-legged friend is well looked after and stays healthy!
