Biotin is a B vitamin important for the production of vitamin C and necessary for normal fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism. Often referred to as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, biotin is an important nutrient needed to keep hair, skin, and nails healthy.
In pets, biotin contributes to the growth of healthy hair follicles and nails, preventing the coat from becoming weak and prone to shedding. Biotin deficiency in dogs can lead to dry and fragile fur, skin irritation, and excessive hair loss. Supplementation with biotin may help with the excessive shedding in animals and provide visible improvement in their skin condition, making their coat softer, shinier, and glossier.
