How to make your natural and holistic first aid kit for your dog
Here’s what you will need :
-
Bandages – self adherent pet bandages
-
Clean towel and wash cloth
-
Cotton swabs
-
Insect repellent – natural herbal spray and/or natural herbal spot-on and collar drops
-
Tick removal tool
Natural essentials:
-
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) – organic unpasteurized and unfiltered for disinfecting skin after removing ticks, as a cleansing rinse or soak diluted with water. Don’t use ACV on broken skin or lesions.
-
Aloe vera gel or a calendula salve – excellent for soothing irritated and inflamed skin.
-
Colloidal Silver for treating infections of all types including ear infections, eye infections and diarrhea.
-
Witch Hazel – a natural astringent and antiseptic for treating bug bites.
-
Raw unpasteurized honey to treat wounds (not for dogs under 1 year of age).
Sun Screen – for your dog’s nose and for dogs with thin or sparse fur:
-
Don’t use conventional sunscreen for humans or pets as it contains multiple toxins.
-
Use coconut oil, sesame seed oil, jojoba oil or wheat germ oil, as they are good natural sunscreens and moisturizers.
-
You can make these natural oils even more effective by adding 5 to 20 drops of therapeutic-grade lavender (or another dog-safe, cat-safe essential oil) for every 30ml of coconut, sesame or jojoba oil.
-
To heal a sun-burned nose, just apply a little vitamin E.
