Fenugreek seeds
Due to the latest news we would like to inform you that the Fenugreek seeds we use in our food were micro biologically analysed early June 2011. The results were safe and without any cause of concern. Also is the origin of the Fenugreek seeds does not come from egypt!
Luposan is sponsor for GSD puppies
Luposan is proud to sponsor the Devon and Cornwall Police force by providing their 10 new GSD puppies with Luposan GelenkKraft (joint power) classic. This will ensure the healthy development of their hips and joints and help ensure their ears will stay erect.
Pictures show Paul Glennon from the Devon and Cornwall police with some of the puppies and their walkers.
We wish the puppies a long, healthy and successful career in the police!
What to do when roads are gritted?
As often as possible try to avoid paths and roads, which have been gritted. If your dog has healthy paws, it is usually not a problem to walk short distances on treated roads.
It might help to rinse the paws afterwards with clean water or wipe them with a damp cloth. Important are the spaces between the toes. If your dog has sensitive paws it could be very useful to rub in some Vaseline or any other protective cream before going out. Make sure that the product you use is none toxic for your dog as they often lick their paws after using a cream.
Winter treatment for skin and coat
It is very important that you groom your dog and (or) cat on regular basis, especially in moulting time. If these periods go on over a very long time it is possible that your pet needs biotin. If your pet has a very sensitive skin it is very often possible that the amount of biotin in the pet food is enough and should be supplemented. LUPOSAN Biotin strengthens skin, coat and claws in a natural way and is therefore recommended during moulting times. It is also very important that your pet gets enough unsaturated fatty acids. A lack of Omega-3 and Omega-6 results in poor skin and coat. The coat appears to be dull and lifeless. The dry skin can get small wounds, which get easy infected and will cause itchy patches, which irritates your pet. LUPOSAN Lupoderm provides all necessary unsaturated fatty acids your pet needs and an improvement can be seen in a very short time.

Beware of the ticks!
These pests don't just suck on blood, but also transmit dangerous illnesses, that, if left unchecked, can have serious health consequences or can even result in death.
You should be aware of the following viruses:
Babesiosis (Canine malaria)
An infection similar to malaria, transmitted by the marsh tick. The parasite (Babesia canis) destroys the animal's red blood cells.
The animal then suffers from anaemia and jaundice, and may die within a few days if not treated.
Area of circulation: previously only known to exist in the southern countries, today in large areas of Germany ( including the Upper Rhine Valley, Saarland, Munich, Regensburg and Berlin).
Babesiosis can spread quickly, as the pathogen is passed on to further generations of ticks.
An adult tick can lay up to 3,000 eggs, all infected with Babesiosis.
Tick borreliosis (Lyme disease)
Difficult to diagnose, bacterial infection, chronic, greater risk of infection in autumn than in spring.
Tick borreliosis can cause severe arthritis in the animal.
It is the most widespread tick-based disease and is transmitted via the sheep tick.
Occurrence: Throughout Germany up to 50% of ticks are infected, depending on the region.
Canine anaplasmosis (granulocytic ehrlichiosis)
Bacterial infection that destroys the dog's white blood cells.
Leads to fever, weight loss, lethargy, oedemas, disruption of the central nervous system, anaemia (lack of blood), arthritis.
One in 20 ticks in Germany can transmit this disease, in some areas even more.
What can you do?
The best precaution to take is to thoroughly examine your best friend after any walk in natural areas.
Ticks love warm body areas with thin skin, such as behind the ears, on the shoulders and in the skinfolds at the joints.
The tick has struck…
The quicker the tick is removed, the better.
A feeding tick should be grasped close to the skin with the aid of tweezers or special tick pincers. Try not to crush the tick if possible during the process, as injuries to the tick can cause it to excrete the pathogen more intensively. It doesn't matter in which direction you rotate, or even if you rotate at all. Sprinkling ticks with glue, oils etc. has proven ineffective as the secretion of pathogens from the tick is also increased when doing this.
If you do find ticks, you should keep a close eye on your pet in the days to come
and, if you're unsure, seek advice from your veterinary surgeon.
For fighting ticks on dogs biologically, we recommend our own LUPOSAN Zeckweg.
