    Main Results:

    • Several nutrients (vitamins A, E, zinc, essential fatty acids) play crucial roles in canine skin health.
    • Many available supplements are general tonics, not specifically formulated for dermatological cases.
    • Significant variation exists in the quality and suitability of commercial products.

    Conclusions:

    • Targeted nutritional supplementation is vital for managing canine dermatoses.
    • Veterinarians should carefully evaluate supplements for specific dermatological needs.
    • Further research is needed to optimize formulations for skin conditions.
