The advice given here is not intended to replace the guidance of a veterinary doctor, and under all circumstances your pet should be taken to a veterinary clinic first and followed only with a veterinarian's approval.

I don't know about you but I love my animals!  I have two dogs, both rescues.  I want to make sure they receive the best of everything as they are so much a huge part of my life.  I never come home to an empty house and I have a fabulous reason to get up in the morning.[1]

Vets

Obviously, feed, comfort, and keeping them in the best of health is so important.  Vets play a big part in keeping their vaccinations up to date and making them better if they are seriously ill but I also feel that there is room for natural healthcare too and prevention is far better than cure.  I first discovered Aloe Vera Gel for Hair when my dog was bitten by another dog.  The Aloe Vera plant is amazing, and Aloe Vera juice is good for some dog symptoms.  I can not overstate the benefits of Aloe Vera Juice.

Dog Symptoms

I have discovered this fabulous natural pr

oduct.  This plant that looks like a cactus has amazing properties.  It is actually a member of the lily/onion family and grows in semi arid conditions.  It contains over 75 active ingredients and 19 of the 20 amino acids in out bodies needed on a daily basis.[2]

What Can It Do?

So what can it do for our animals!  Some dog diseases can benefit from its use.  It can be used for them in the same way as for humans.  It can benefit any animal:

     Cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and chickens, etc.
     Horses, ponies, and donkeys.
     and out domestic pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs to name but a few.

Animals suffer form the same problems we do:  skin problems, joint problems, immune problems, breathing and bladder problems!

Animals are also affected by sunburn, bites, cuts, bruises, allergies, and many more.

Other Benefits

The drinks can be given to the animal internally.  In fact, both of mine have it on their breakfast everyday.  One has the joint formula, which has greatly relieved his joints.  I noticed one day he wasn't too keen on jumping into the car, so I started him on the drink and he now bounds in again like a 2 year old.  With my other dog she suffered from a weak bladder so I put her on the cranberry drink and now she is absolutely fine

Gel for Hair

Whenever my animals get cuts, sunburn, bites, I cover the spots with gel.  This actually promotes healing and prevents the loss of pigment so that the hair doesn't grow back white.  The propolis cream is great for mud rash.  It softens the scabs and brings them off so that the lesions heal.  There is also a Veterinary Formula which can be used for cleaning wounds and sprayed on to help prevent rash.  The toiletry range can be use for general cleaning and shampooing.[3]
