Winter Skin & Pigmentation


A change in your customer's dog's skin and coat can be the first indication that they might need some extra support.

During the winter months, and also in bitches following a season or pregnancy, a drop in pigmentation may occur on the nose, eyes, and mouth. This fading is generally considered to be due to a shortage of minerals, particularly iodine and iron. Most dogs lose their coat seasonally, however some dogs can also be known to lose patches of hair in colder months and need extra coat growth support.

‘Winter nose’, also known as hypopigmentation, results from a lack of sunlight which causes the nose to fade to brown in the winter. Elderberry and Nettle Extract is naturally rich in iron and iodine and can help restore lost pigment, with results usually seen at least 6 weeks to 8 weeks before the pigment is completely restored.

Kelp Seaweed Powder can be used to help promote coat growth, as well as maintaining pigment following restoration with Elderberry and Nettle. For a higher strength preparation try our Kelp Seaweed Tablets which also contain concentrated kelp extract.
