Hey, Happy Wednesday! What's the weather like where you are?
I have a dark sky dispensing several gallons of rain on the neighborhood. It's been like this for days.
Allegedly, there’s a bright, burning ball behind it all, called the Sun but I’ve not seen it for some time. If you live in the U.S., even in the sunnier states, the last few months will have meant fewer daylight hours. Nothing to blame for that but the Earth’s tilt and orbit of the Sun. But it does affect us.
Less sunshine means we get less
vitamin D, because we convert sunlight into this vital nutrient. Thankfully, we can top up our levels with supplements or vitamin D-rich foods such as oily fish (yuck), egg yolks, red meat, and liver (yuck again). But what about dogs?
Do they need vitamin D? Do they get it from sunshine? Should you be
adding it to their food? Can they have too much of it? We put these and other doggy vitamin D questions to our nutritionist Laura Ward. The result is this informative
article.
It’s a great read and an eye-opener. It’ll help make sure your dog is
getting enough vitamin D — but not too much. I hope it illuminates your day.
Until next time, Andrew Editor
