Raspberry leaf is a popular birthing & hormone supplement with breeders and is often recommended by health and veterinary professionals.
When used in pregnancy, Dorwest Raspberry Leaf Tablets help to support and maintain the strength of the muscles of the uterus in preparation for birth. It is also known for its hormone-balancing properties, which means our tablets are also helpful for supporting female dogs who experience phantom pregnancies.
False, pseudo or phantom pregnancies can affect un-neutered female dogs due to individual response to normal hormonal changes associated with her season.
They usually start after the first or second season and unfortunately, if your dog has a tendency to these, she's likely to suffer season after season with symptoms of increasing severity.
These symptoms range from mild unsettled behaviour to more extreme nesting habits such as carrying toys, looking for pups and depression. Physical changes can also occur, including a change in bodyshape, enlarged teats and even milk production.
Our Raspberry Leaf Tablets use high-quality raspberry leaf extract, packed full of natural compounds to help prepare your female dog for whelping, and support those who experience phantom pregnancies.
Raspberry leaf contains:
To help prepare your female dog for whelping, we recommend starting using raspberry leaf tablets three weeks after mating and continuing until one week after whelping.
To help support dogs who experience phantom pregnancies, use from the first sign of her coming into season and continue for 12 weeks (which is when she would have whelped had she been mated). If ensure, continue in this way for every season, unless she is mated.
While we recommend using Raspberry Leaf Tablets from the first day of your dog’s season, they can still be useful if your dog is already showing signs of a phantom pregnancy.
