The synergistic formula supports normal histamine levels, promotes skin and coat health, and strengthens immune defense year-round for comprehensive allergy management.

How to Use

Administer Dr. Marty Shine & Luster daily as a soft chew supplement. Can be given during or after meals to minimize gastrointestinal sensitivity.

• Daily Administration: Give the appropriate chewable count once daily based on the dog's weight.
• With Meals: Administer during or after meals to reduce potential digestive upset.
• Seasonal Protocol: Begin 2 weeks before allergy season; maintain throughout peak periods; taper gradually as allergen exposure decreases.
• Consistency Critical: Daily use supports cumulative benefits; skipping days reduces the effectiveness of normal histamine level maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does quercetin work as a natural antihistamine for dogs?

Ans: Quercetin stabilizes mast cells, blocking calcium channels necessary for histamine release. It functions like pharmaceutical antihistamines but naturally reduces histamine-driven itching, inflammation, and allergic symptoms without harsh side effects.

Q2: When should I start giving my dog Shine & Luster for seasonal allergies?

Ans: Begin supplementation 2 weeks before anticipated allergy season peaks (spring/fall) for optimal preventative benefits. Consistent daily use builds cumulative immune support; early start ensures maximum effectiveness before allergen exposure intensifies.

Q3: Can I use Shine & Luster alongside prescription allergy medications?

Ans: Consult your veterinarian first. Quercetin may interact with blood thinners, NSAIDs, and blood pressure medications. Your veterinarian can assess potential interactions specific to your dog's medications and current health status.

Q4: How long does Shine & Luster take to show allergy relief?

Ans: Most dogs show improvement within 1-3 weeks of consistent daily use. Quercetin has a gradual onset (1-3 hours per dose) but an extended duration; cumulative effects improve allergy symptoms progressively over time.

Q5: Is Shine & Luster safe for long-term use?

Ans: Yes, veterinarian-guided long-term use is safe. Quercetin doesn't cause tolerance like pharmaceuticals; research shows sustained effectiveness during 6+ month supplementation periods. Regular veterinary monitoring ensures continued benefit.

Q6: What makes bovine colostrum beneficial for dog allergies?

Ans: Colostrum provides immunoglobulins and proline-rich polypeptides, strengthening immune barriers and reducing allergic sensitization. Research shows a 50% increased antibody response in vaccinated dogs consuming colostrum supplementation.

Q7: Can puppies or senior dogs safely take Shine & Luster?

Ans: Yes, appropriate for all life stages. Introduce gradually over 3-5 days. Puppies benefit from immune support; seniors gain allergy relief and joint support. Adjust dosage strictly by weight, regardless of age.

Q8: Does Shine & Luster treat food allergies or environmental allergies only?

Ans: Primarily targets environmental allergies (pollen, mold, dust mites, grass). For food allergies, consult your veterinarian about elimination diets and additional support strategies specific to food sensitivities.

Q9: How should I store Shine & Luster to maintain potency and freshness?

Ans: Store unopened bottles at room temperature indefinitely. After opening, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigeration; sealed storage maintains ingredient stability and effectiveness.
