Vitamin D for dogs
Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient that regulates your dog's calcium and phosphate metabolism and supports healthy bones and teeth. Since dogs cannot produce vitamin D themselves, an adequate supply is important – for a stable musculoskeletal system at every stage of life.
Vitamin D » an essential micronutrient

A lack of vitamin D in dogs can lead to rickets, a disease characterised by insufficient mineralisation of the bones.
