  • Vitamin C oil is a stablized form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) either suspended in a carrier oil or blended. It's formulated to be applied to the skin to provide the skin with nutrients and hydration.
  • Although vitamin C supplementation in the form of powder, tablet, or syrup is good for dogs' health, there are no definitive studies on the benefits or risks of vitamin C oil in dogs.
  • Because vitamin C oil contains a carrier oil and may have other ingredients added, its safety on dogs is unknown when ingested or applied to the skin.
