The Benefits (and Risks) of Fat-Soluble Vitamins 🐾 Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they’re stored in your dog’s body fat and liver instead of being removed in urine. 🐶 ⚠️ Because they build up over time, too much can be harmful – this is especially seen when dogs are fed excess liver or cod liver oil. Vitamin A 👉 Supports vision, skin, and immune health Vitamin D 👉 Helps regulate calcium and bone strength Vitamin E 👉 Protects cells with antioxidant power Vitamin K 👉 Essential for normal blood clotting

A client of mine has set up a pet loss support group in loving memory of her dog Tilly. ❤️ I wanted to share this because I think it’s such a thoughtful and much-needed idea. We all know how deeply it hurts to say goodbye. The group runs free, online meet-ups where you can talk, listen, or simply spend time with others who understand what you’re going through. 😊 There’s no pressure to share; you can join in whatever way feels right for you. To learn more or join a meet-up, visit: www.petlosssupportgroup.co.uk 🕯️
