Zinc

Evidence: Dog: Some evidence · Cat: Traditional useSkin & coatImmune support

A trace element for skin and the immune system. Avoid overdosing: complete foods already contain zinc.

Why this grade: For dogs, one controlled trial on a complete food: zinc with linoleic acid improved coat gloss and scaling, and zinc alone reduced water loss through the skin (Marsh et al. 2000). There is no comparable study in cats.
