Best Vitamin D-Rich Foods for Dogs

Ranked by vitamin d content among foods safe for dogs in the Creature Feast catalog.

Salmon per 100g cooked: ~520 IU vitamin D3 Salmon is the richest common food source of vitamin D3 for dogs. Since dogs cannot make enough vitamin D from sunlight, fatty fish is essential.

Canned Sardines per 100g: ~270 IU vitamin D3 Canned sardines provide excellent vitamin D3 along with calcium and omega-3s. A true multitasker among dog-safe foods.

Eggs 1 large egg yolk: ~40 IU vitamin D3 Egg yolks contain vitamin D3 in a form that is well absorbed by dogs. Feeding the whole egg gives your dog protein, fat, and vitamin D together.

Tuna per 100g canned: ~230 IU vitamin D3 Tuna provides solid vitamin D3 content. Use canned tuna in water, fed in moderation due to mercury considerations in larger tuna species.

Mealworms per 100g cooked: ~8-12 IU vitamin D3 Lean ground beef provides modest vitamin D3. While not as rich as fish, it contributes to overall intake as part of a varied diet.

Turkey per 100g cooked: ~5-10 IU vitamin D3 Turkey provides small amounts of vitamin D3. Combined with its protein and B vitamin content, it is a solid all-around food for dogs.

Plain Greek Yogurt per 100g: ~5-15 IU vitamin D Plain Greek yogurt provides trace vitamin D along with calcium and probiotics. A helpful complement to richer vitamin D sources.

Chicken per 100g cooked: ~5-8 IU vitamin D3 Chicken provides small amounts of vitamin D3, primarily in the skin and dark meat. Not a primary source, but contributes to overall intake.
