Dorwest Herbs is raising awareness for how to support fertility and hormones with natural supplements, as whether choosing to breed or not, entire females can be subject to some very specific issues including false pregnancy.
When breeding, any bitch’s state of health and fitness prior to mating and throughout pregnancy is fundamental in ensuring the best possible outcomes for both her and potential puppies. Wheatgerm oil is naturally rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant which neutralises free-radicals produced as a by-product of everyday cell functions. A plentiful supply of vitamin E is beneficial to keep them in check.
Dorwest’s Wheatgerm Oil Capsules can be given year-round to help maintain fertility and a healthy reproductive system in both male and female pets. Important for the healthy function of skin, coat and the nervous system, vitamin E is widely used to help maintain fertility and a healthy reproductive system in both male and female animals.
Raspberry leaf is a birth aid recommended by healthcare professionals for centuries; working to tone and strengthen the muscles of the uterus in preparation for birth, helping to ensure a smooth labour for your dog. False, pseudo or phantom pregnancies can affect un-neutered bitches due to individual response to normal hormonal changes associated with her season. They usually start after the first or second season and symptoms range from mild, unsettled behaviour to more extreme nesting habits such as carrying toys and depression. Physical changes can also occur including: body shape, enlarged teats and even milk production.
Dorwest’s Raspberry Leaf Tablets can help dogs cope better with hormonal changes by helping maintain normal balance; started three weeks after mating and continued until one week after whelping, or used from the first sign of her coming into season and continuing for 12 weeks to support a phantom.
“Balance is important in life,” says MD Jo Boughton-White, “For your bitch, this is especially true when it comes to hormones. These naturally fluctuate but if the balance gets thrown off too far, it can cause problems. Speak to one of our expert team today for advice, from how to support fertility as a breeder, to combatting phantom pregnancy symptoms, in a natural way.”
