Dog Cataract Prevention - Antioxidants
Since canine cataracts are often caused by toxicity, it makes sense, therefore, to counter the effects of these toxins in the dog's body before they can do any
damage to the dog's eyes.
Antioxidants, such as
vitamins E and C, are very effective in fighting free radicals in the body.
Vitamin A is another powerful antioxidant that can be used to protect your dog's eyes. One good source of vitamin A is cod-liver oil.
Fresh vegetables, such as carrots and kale, are rich sources of antioxidants as well. Be sure chop up some fresh veggies and include them in your dog's daily diet.
