Do dog skin and allergy vitamins work? What about cloudy eyes?

Question

Do dog vitamins for skin and allergies really work? If so, which ones do you recommend? Do dog eye drops work for cloudy eyes as well? Which one would help a small cataract like appearance in her left eye. Pet's info: Dog | Collie | Female | spayed | 5 years old | 83 lbs

Supplements, such as Omega 3 fatty acids (Welactin is one example), can be beneficial to maintain skin health if Daisy has allergies. They are not a magic cure-all, but when used in conjunction with other management strategies for allergy triggers (diet changes, flea presentation, antihistamines, allergy immunotherapy injections, etc.), can be helpful in many dogs. There are no eye drops that will improve cataracts or age-related changes (lenticular sclerosis). Eye cloudiness can also be caused by glaucoma, corneal ulcers, among other inflammatory conditions. Consider having her eyes evaluated by a vet to determine the cause of the cloudiness so that it can be managed.
