A drop in pigmentation is often noticed in the nose, eyes and mouth during the winter months and also particularly in bitches and queens following a season or pregnancy. This fading is generally considered to be due to a lack of minerals, particularly iron and iodine.

Kelp Seaweed contains these two minerals in sufficient quantities to improve pigmentation and either the tablets or powder should be given for a period of at least two months to regain lost pigment. Kelp Seaweed also contains all the other minerals and trace elements necessary for health. Prevention is always preferable to treatment, so giving Kelp Seaweed tablets or powder from the autumn through to the spring will help to maintain the pigment during the winter months.

As an alternative, our liquid Elderberry & Nettle Extract can be easily added to any feeding regime to maintain pigment throughout the year; it can be used with any feeding regime without any risk of overheating the system even in animals that are prone to this.

Don’t forget you can contact Dorwest on 01308 897272 for advice on treatment for your dog or cat.

“I purchased from you some Elderberry and Nettle extract for the loss of pigmentation on my rough collie’s nose. I am amazed as within 6 days his nose is back to normal. His muzzle looked really sore before and in fact somebody even asked me what was wrong with his nose! I will continue to use the product as suggested, many thanks.” Mrs S Blackmore by email
