Herbs and Supplements to Calm Dogs and Cats
by @ Holistic Pet Info: Blog Posts
Thu Sep 11 22:00:00 PDT 2014
Trips to the vet or groomers, separation anxiety, thunderstorms and new additions to the family can all bring on stress and anxiety to dogs and cats. This stress can lead to unwanted behavior such as excessive barking, destructive chewing or scratching, marking and aggression.
- If a dog is digging holes or barking excessively, he may be telling you he’s bored and needs more stimulation or exercise.
- If your cat suddenly begins urinating outside the litter box, she may be suffering from a urinary tract infection.
- Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is considered an "anti-stress" vitamin because of its ability to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.
- Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that has been found to increase brain levels of serotonin, a calming neurotransmitter and/or melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. Studies with humans and animals have shown that serotonin nerve circuits promote feelings of well-being, calm, personal security, relaxation, confidence and concentration.
- Valerian is known for its calming effect and is frequently used in connection with nervousness, anxiety, nervous restlessness, anxiety-induced illness or upset stomach.
- L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea and has been extensively researched for its ability to reduce stress, anxiety and unwanted behavior. It helps the body to produce other calming amino acids such as Dopamine, GABA and Tryptophan. Studies done on L-Theanine showed that dogs had reduced anxiety-related behavior without adverse effects or drowsiness.
- Colostrum has a calming effect on animals by supporting cognitive function and promoting relaxation.
- Chamomile has a wide variety of uses including for pets with nervousness and anxiety. Chamomile's high content of the amino acid tryptophan has been used for sleeplessness and insomnia for hundreds of years. It is commonly used to calm the nerves, reduce anxiety and induce a state of pleasant relaxation without disrupting normal function or interfering with motor coordination. It is also an anti-inflammatory herb that has antimicrobial properties (for pets with skin infections) and for its ability to heal wounds.
- Passion Flower contains several flavonoids that exhibit a sedative effect on the central nervous system. Chrysin, a monoflavonoid, affects the central receptors of the brain and the combination of flavonoids act as an anxiolytic which helps to promote relaxation, soothe tension and relieve occasional anxiety and panic caused by emotional stress.

Enzyme Supplements for Dogs and Cats - Does your pet need them?
by @ Holistic Pet Info: Blog Posts
Wed Apr 30 22:00:00 PDT 2014
People and pets produce enzymes by the saliva glands, stomach, and pancreas. Enzymes are also present in raw and unprocessed foods and these active enzymes work together with digestive enzymes to break down food during the digestive process.
- Undigested food which can ferment in the stomach
- Bloating and gas
- Malnutrition or vitamin deficiency because nutrients aren't absorbed
- Coprophagia (when a cat or dog eats its own stool)
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Low energy levels or sluggishness

National Holistic Pet Day
by @ Holistic Pet Info: Blog Posts
Sun Aug 24 22:00:00 PDT 2014
Celebrate Holistic Pet Day Everyday!
- Exercise: Walk your dog, play with your cat, get active! Lack of activity cascades into a host of physical and emotional health problems for dogs and cats (and humans).
- Diet: Overfeeding your pet leads to obesity which leads to health issues. Provide your pet the best diet you can afford. Processed foods are convenient, but the more natural diet you can provide the better. Avoid foods with chemical preservatives and animal by-products.
- Nutritional Supplements: Supplements are one way to ensure your pet is getting the necessary nutrients it needs. Vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids given regularly support the immune system and help to prevent disease. Glucosamine supports joint health. Herbal remedies can calm nervous, easily agitated dogs and cats.
- Find a Good Vet: Choose a vet that does not dismiss the holistic health approach This means appointments are about how to prevent disease rather than only treating existing symptoms. A good resource to find a vet is the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association.
- Avoid Exposure to Toxins: Dogs and cats lie on furniture, carpets and grass. Avoid using chemical lawn products (pesticides) and try to use natural home cleaning products.
Make your pet an important part of your life. This is what makes for truly holistic health. The affection you show your pet supports their physical health, and yours.

Can I Give My Dog Innards or Internal Organs?
by James @ Can I Give My Dog…?
Sun Aug 20 05:39:17 PDT 2017
Many people cringe at the thought of consuming internal animal organs. Your dog, on the other hand, probably loves to eat guts. In fact, you may be surprised to know that your dog is likely already getting some animal innards. Most pet food has internal organs in it. That said, giving fresh entrails to a dog is way more nutritious compared to processed by-products in even premium grade canine chow. Can I Give My Dog Animal Guts? Answer: Yes, absolutely! It is highly recommended Fresh kidney, spleen, heart, liver, small intestine, large intestine, lung, udder, bladder are all fair game

Fireworks & Dogs - Tips to Keep Pets Calm
Thunderstorms, fireworks, New Years and other loud celebrations can be a scary time for dogs and cats. The loud booming noises that accompany fireworks causes anxiety and stress in pets.
An animal's sense of hearing is more acute than ours and so the noises are much more intense for them. Adding to that their lack of understanding as to what is going on and BANG! You have a scared little pet on your hands.
When a pet becomes afraid, they may display unwanted or dangerous behavior such as:
- Fleeing the yard or house
- Biting, hissing or showing other signs of aggression
- Chewing or destroying furniture and other property
- Shaking, howling, whining or loosing control of their bladder.
Tips for Reducing Pet's Fear of Fireworks
Here are some tips for helping your pet cope with fireworks, thunderstorms, and other loud noises:
- Don't take your pets to outdoor celebrations. The loud noises can cause dogs to flee or hide and this can be dangerous. A scared dog, running through crowds and/or traffic in the dark is a recipe for disaster.
- Ideally, leave them at home with a human companion. If you must leave them alone, place them in a secure room or crate. Cover the crate with a blanket to help reduce the noise. Shut the curtains and drapes and turn on lights to lessen the flash of the fireworks.
- Leave on a TV or music to drown out the noise from the fireworks. (This works during thunderstorm season as well.)
- Make sure that they are wearing their identification tags and that the information is current.
- Exercise them before the festivities begin -- tire them out with a rigorous game of fetch or a long walk. Be sure to do this an hour or two before you leave them to give them time to calm down and enter a restful state.

Do Dogs Need Sunscreen?
by James @ Can I Give My Dog…?
Tue Jun 06 18:07:13 PDT 2017
Many pet parents don’t know that dogs also need quality sunscreen protection. This is particularly true when Fido is outdoors, during summer, for long periods of time. Your dog may have a nice furry coat, but that will not fully prevent the sun from reaching the skin. Sunscreen makes sense even though some view it as ridiculous. Dog-friendly sunscreen is becoming more popular. This is because products designed for humans often contain zinc oxide which can be harmful to some animals. Can I Put Sunscreen on My Dog? Answer: Yes, absolutely Canines can get sunburned too! Your dog can be

Holistic Health Care Tips for Dogs
by @ Holistic Pet Info: Blog Posts
Sun Nov 03 21:00:00 PST 2013
- Exercise: Walk your dog, play fetch, and take her anywhere she is welcome to sniff around. For all the unconditional love your dog brings you, the number one thing you can give back is to provide your dog with an active lifestyle. Lack of activity cascades into a host of physical and emotional health problems.
- Diet: People control what domestic dogs eat. Processed foods are convenient, but the more natural diet you can provide the better. Avoid foods with chemical preservatives and animal by-products. Inexpensive cuts of meat and fresh vegetables can be less expensive than prepared food, so prepare something fresh when you can.
- Don’t overfeed your dog: Nearly 40% of dogs in the U.S. are considered obese. Do your dog a favor and cut back on the extra meals and non-nutritious treats. Also, do Tip #1.
- Nutritional Supplements: Supplements are one way to ensure your dog is getting the necessary nutrients it needs. Vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids given regularly support the immune system and help to prevent disease. Glucosamine supports joint health. Herbal remedies can calm nervous, easily agitated dogs.
- Find a good Vet: Choose a vet that does not dismiss the holistic health approach -- This means appointments are about how to prevent disease rather than only treating existing symptoms.
- Take care of dental health: We often overlook dental care with dogs, but bad teeth lead to a range of other health problems. Not enough owners follow recommendations to brush their dog’s teeth daily. If you don’t brush, give her teeth cleaning treats and chew toys. Inspect your dog’s teeth for signs of periodontal disease.
- Avoid exposure to toxins: Dogs get into things they shouldn’t—and it may just be the sewer water in front of the house. Avoid using chemical lawn care products and use natural home cleaning products.
- Control fleas and ticks: Look for non-chemical control and cleaning products.
- Stay informed about health issues: Know how to look for early signs of disease so you can take preventative action.
- Make your dog part of your life: This is what makes truly holistic health. The affection you show for your dog supports physical health. And best of all, this is a health benefit your dog will return to you.
