Eye disease is common in dogs—conjunctivitis, keratitis, glaucoma, cataracts—and over half of dogs past ten develop cataracts. Diet can slow that decline. Vitamin A from liver and carrot supports night vision; antioxidants like lutein, vitamins C and E, and anthocyanins guard the retina; omega-3 from fish eases dryness. Avoid overdoing vitamin A or raw food, and get seniors checked yearly.
Foods That Support Your Dog’s Liver
The liver filters toxins, stores nutrients, and makes bile, yet it stays silent until heavily damaged—so daily support matters. Quality protein, cruciferous vegetables, and berries aid detoxification, while milk thistle, dandelion root, and omega-3s protect cells. Just as vital is what to skip: fatty foods, toxic items like chocolate, onion, and grapes, and human medicines that strain or poison the liver. Keep water flowing and weight healthy.
