The Role of Vitamin D in Small Animal Bone Metabolism

The Role of Vitamin D in Small Animal Bone Metabolism

Dogs and cats have differences in vitamin D metabolism compared to other mammalian species, as they are unable to perform vitamin D cutaneous synthesis through sun exposure. Therefore, they are dependent on the dietary intake of this nutrient. The classic functions of vitamin D are to stimulate inte...
