Can anyone help my friend, She has a lovely young (about 15/18months) BC, Hes a B&W Tri, he has a white Face, with Blue eyes, Ok well up until he was about a year his nose was REALLY BLACK, but its now gradually lost pigment & now its a sort of blotchy wishy washy purpley colour. Are there any supplements she can give to help him?
Thank you

If you can get hold of some Olewo beta carotene pellets, that's the best thing I've found for pigment.  I've tried seaweed and all the others but this is the best one for me.  It's also very easy to give.  Just a warning though, it also increasing appetite!

elderberry and nettle in the summer and kelp in the winter from dorwest if she has had good pigment in the past it will return but does take a few months .
One of my bitches looses some pigment just before a season I use these products from dorwest and they do work.

Second Starryeyes. Kelp is brilliant as it nettles. An old gamekeeper used to boil up nettle tops and feed them to all of his working dogs as a supplement, they had wonderful pigment but Dorwest's is far, far easier lol
