Dorwest offer retailers fantastic deals on skin products


Dorwest are running their 'Happy In My Skin' Campaign this summer, with fantastic offers for retailers...

Manufacturers of Garlic and Fenugreek Tablets and Mixed Vegetable Tablets - both licensed veterinary herbal medicines proven to provide symptomatic relief for skin conditions in dogs and cats - Dorwest are running their 'Happy In My Skin' Campaign this summer, with fantastic offers for retailers.

Dorwest 'Skin Product Packs', containing Garlic and Fenugreek Tablets and Mixed Vegetable Tablets (4x100 tablets and 2x200 tablets of each medicine) and point of sale materials (leaflet holder, skinleaflets and skin poster), will be available to retailers for only £59. That is a huge 40% discount, and represents a retail value of £121.20 - over 50% mark-up!

These two products work synergistically - boosting the effect of each other when given together, so are the perfect combination for tackling skin problems in dogs and cats.

The offer starts on May 13 and there will be faxback order forms available in the upcoming Dorwest newsletter. Alternatively, contact Dorwest by e-mailing trade@dorwest.com or calling 01308 897272 to take advantage of this fantastic offer. Point of sale materials are alsoavailable separately if required.

To help spread the word about skin problems and how Dorwest can help, there are plenty of resources that retailers can direct their customers to.

Plucky Merlin the Dorwest dog is once again documenting his haphazard life on his blog at http://merlintakescontrol.wordpress.com. He thinks that it's just the gorgeous Lola that has got him all hot and bothered but soon realises that actually, it's his skin. Constant itching leaves him pretty fed up and events turn serious when Merlin resorts to drastic measures to try and save face. The blog provides a fun way for pet owners to understand more about skin disease.

Facebook is another focus, with a fantastic competition to find the pet who epitomises the concept of being 'Happy In My Skin'.

Dorwest aren't looking for the prettiest, cleverest or funniest pooch in the world but if you know a pet that is totally at one with themselves, getsnapping and submit the best photo to the Dorwest Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dorwest).
