Have you tried using natural petcare products for your furry animals?  Try the wide variety of healthy options for your pets.  See them lead healthy lives and bring great joy to your family.

One of the best aspects of holistic living is that people interested in it want the same excellent quality of life for everyone they love, including their pets. Fortunately, there have been some promising advances in holistic veterinary products, and many are available. Below are a few suggestions for natural pet care products.

Skin Care

Many of our furry friends suffer from dry, flaky coats, oily skin, overgrowth of yeast, or excessive shedding. Some dogs have problems with flea infestations.

All of these skin problems point to internal issues; a dog with a healthy inside tends to manifest it on the outside. For optimum skin health, maintain proper skin health with a well-balanced diet and supplementation with essential fatty acids (EFAs). Pets that are deficient in EFAs, specifically omega-3, manifest more red, dry, or itchy skin and shed excessively. It is beneficial to use pharmaceutical-grade fish oil—dogs love the taste, too. Fish oil also protects dogs' joints.

Dogs with healthy coats should not need frequent baths unless rolling in the mud. If your dog is dirty, bathe it with an environmentally friendly shampoo that cleans oil and sebum gently. Try to avoid sodium laurel sulfate.

Joint Health

Dogs and cats, being mammals just like we are, can suffer from arthritis the same way a human can. It can be debilitating and affect your pet's quality of life. Many pets, just like people, have been put on anti-inflammatory medication, but this may cause liver and stomach problems.

Fortunately, many natural pet caree products are available that improve joint health without the unwanted side effects of anti-inflammatories. Look for joint supplements that contain glucosamine, chondroitin, anti-inflammatory herbs, and antioxidants. Vitamin Cand MSM is also beneficial for joint health.

Dental Health

There is a reason they call it dog breath: Dental disease and gingivitis in dogs stink! If dogs were eating the same diet their wild ancestors ate, we would see a much lower incidence of gum disease and halitosis. However, this is not the case.     

To maintain fresh breath in your dog, try products that support a natural balance in saliva or brushless toothpaste, both of which reduce plaque and tartar and bad breath.

Pet Treats

Giving your pet a treat increases the human-animal bond and makes it feel good. So why not give your pet a treat that will benefit its health? Treats are available that boost immune, joint, and dental health. Find the healthy snacks that help your pet the most, and enjoy ing with your pet.
