Actually Cindy I personally think that what is in or not in water as the case may be can effect pigment. I had never had any problems with pigment for many years until I moved to Wales and I noticed that all the dogs pigment went slightly "off" - they were just not the dense black that I took for granted - they were being fed exactly the same as before - I moved in summer and the only thing that was different was the water. They are all back to "normal" again now but I am convinced it was the change in water that caused the problem
