What causes pigmentation loss?

A loss of pigmentation may occur on the nose, eyes and mouth during the winter months (‘winter nose’), following illness or in old age, and also in bitches following a season or pregnancy. It is often of particular concern in show dogs and affects some breeds more than others, being particularly noticeable in white breeds with black noses. The fading is generally considered to be caused by a deficiency of minerals, particularly iodine and iron. There are no certain ways to overcome pigmentation loss but generally speaking if there has been good pigmentation in the past, then it usually can be restored using specialised supplements.

How does Elderberry & Nettle Extract help and how should I use it?

Our Elderberry & Nettle Extract is specifically formulated to assist with pigmentation loss, as it has high natural levels of both iodine and iron. You can add it to your pet’s feed daily and it can be given at any time of year, with any feeding regime, without affecting the dietary balance. Although using our Elderberry and Nettle Extract provides one of the fastest routes to regaining pigmentation, it will still take around six weeks of daily use to see an improvement as part of the skin`s renewal process. Many pet owners then use our Kelp Seaweed Powder or Tablets to maintain pigment.
