Glad about that.Guorun. (Sorry don't have all those things that go over the O and the U)<br />
Dogs really don't need all the extra Vit. Min especially if they are having a balanced diet, I think that is the main thing to give. A balanced diet..

Vitamin A, D and E end up in our liver and we can take to much of them but the maximum amount could be different I don't know about that. Other vitamins we excrete.<br />
<br />
And I'm not thinking about giving my dog any additional vitamins just so you don't worry ;)

Gennadi, could you quote references the research you were mentioning, please?<br />
I've also trawled around on the internet , and mostly found anecdotal stuff about cold temperatures, and lack of daylight/sunlight in winter.<br />
Also some suggestion that pale noses can be a symptom of hypothyroidism But dont get too alarmed about that - one of my dogs who has a paler nose this winter is thyroid tested and normal<br />

<br />
I guess that as pale winter noses are probably a cosmetic problem that resolves in the spring anyway, and dont apparently affect the health of the dog (unless it is a symptom of some deficiency), it isnt worth spending a lot of time and money researching?<br />

Which leads us back to Vitamin D!!!!, Sunlight/daylight.... everything is commanded by Daylight (length of) trees shed their leaves, things grow (green things) or die, everything has a cycle, all to do with the moon and daylight, so perhaps as it is a seasonal thing, it is to do with daylight/sunlight. As the sun doesn't have much strength in the winter months, well not here anyway. It isn't doing the job to bring the pigmentation back. Or certain dogs don't have the ability to assimilate the…

I feed my dogs with the same dry food all the year round. The dry dog food that I use is fairly high in oil (15 %) and I also use additional oil, sunflower or olive oil. So there shouldnt be any seasonal variation in their fat intake

Don't think that it burns their noses. They do have a problem with snowballs on their feet and legs etc, although it does seem to make their pads pink when they are in it a lot, but that soon goes, But perhaps there is someone out there that thinks differently, good point though...Think that kind of think is what this site is all about, think of something and ask a question, it will be discussed, and someone will come up with a yes or no.

I know that you should not give dogs more than one dose of Cod Liver Oil per WEEK, because that robs them of other Vitamins, I think A, again not sure, all these things are stuck in the back of my head, and they just pop up and spill out of me, rightly or wrongly, but there is always someone here that knows, and that isn't meant in any derogatory way, to anyone. I have said before we all have got to learn, and we can learn by asking, and being told...

Yes, the heat knocks me about. Lose a lot of energy in the summer over here!! Dogs do feel the heat, but they adapt to everything so well. Never seems to affect them. My young boy has swims in the pool everyday during summer and he knows how to ask for them!!<br />

I love looking at the pics of the dogs in the snow. They look like they are having so much fun! Could the snow be burning their noses???
