Re: Paprika for "orange" bays?

Hi Bridget,

I agree with Krista regarding the safety of paprika and you are welcome to add 1 tablespoon per day to her diet. However, I am reluctant to suggest too much kelp due to its very high iodine content. In moderate amounts, it is safe.

So, to remove the guesswork, I like Blackenall. It does not contain added grain, like Black as Knight. And, it is guaranteed by the manufacturer, Horsetech. It also contains important minerals and B vitamins, which boost the overall health of the haircoat.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
