Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help scoop up damaging free radicals which can cause harm in the body. You can help your dog overcome damage from free radicals and strengthen his immunity by offering antioxidants in the diet. These can be delivered in food form through fresh vegetables and some (lesser amounts of) fruits. Vegetables and fruits should be fresh, not through processed dry dog foods.
Antioxidants can also be offered through supplemental form. Care should be taken to ensure that you don’t overload your dog. This is especially true in the case of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E. Current veterinary recommendations for vitamin E range from 1-2 IU / pound of your dog’s weight, but it is important that you cater to your own dog’s individual needs.
Antioxidants like vitamin E can help your dog fight off many health problems! One in particular is kidney stones, but that is just one example.
