Lupoid Onychodystrophy

Lupoid Onychodystrophy, also known as symmetric lupoid onychitis, is believed to be an immune-mediated disease in dogs that primarily affects the nails causing them to become brittle, split, crack, and potentially fall off. This condition may be painful, causing dogs to lick and chew their paws.

The supplements we recommend for this pet health condition include:

1). Immune Balance - This herbal remedy can support a healthy immune response, and support and protect the liver.

2). Collagen - Can support nail strength and flexibility. Improves nail growth by providing nutrients to the nail bed where new cells grow.

3). Omega-3 Pet - Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation in the body while improving hydration of nails and reduce brittleness.

4). Cell Salt #12 Silicea - Can help cleanse the system of debris and is a major constituent of healthy nails.

5). Daily Multi Plus - This is our foundation supplement to help improve the overall vitality of a dog or cat.

All animals, especially ones with this condition, can benefit from a healthy diet. We suggest a whole food raw or cooked diet and we offer some suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog.
