DVM Yes, our pets need vitamins. Just like for us, vitamins are very important nutrients. In our modern environment they may need them more than we had originally thought.
Vitamins perform many important functions for our pets.
Fat soluble water soluble Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble dissolved in fats. The B group and Vitamin C are water soluble. This means that they are easily lost through cooking and processing. However overdosing is not as big a concern as it is with the fat soluble vitamins. The B family of vitamins are for healthy muscle, skin and blood.
