Description
Even though cat and dog lice infestation isn’t fatal, it can be tough on our furriends. It's also incredibly annoying to have insects invading, attacking, and making a home out of your little one’s coat. That’s why regularly grooming your furkid and cleaning their living environment are essential. But when they, unfortunately, get infested by lice, what can you do? How to get rid of dog lice naturally and cat lice naturally?
Natural supplements like the ones in our Lice Essentials Kit can proactively prevent your pet from dog and cat lice infestation, help them deworm alongside conventional treatment, and help with managing symptoms. The package contains our main support for lice problems – Target Spray and Inulin PK.
All our products are made in Canada and used globally. They are also manufactured in a GMP-certified and FDA-approved facility.
What are Lice in Dogs and Cats?
First, let us learn what lice are. These external parasites are wingless, flat creatures that reside in your furkiddo’s hair. The claws on their six legs allow them to hang onto our furriends while they feed on skin debris, blood or hair secretion.
How Do Furkids Get Lice?
Unlike fleas, lice can only crawl but not fly or hop. They also can only live for 1-2 days without a host. That’s why the chances of your furkiddo getting lice are higher through direct transmission from other furkiddos of the same species. For example, a dog park with many other potentially infested dogs is a high-risk location for getting lice.
Your little one could also get lice from sharing grooming tools or collars with another infested pet (of the same species).
Cat and Dog Lice Symptoms
- Acute itchiness and persistent scratching
- Dull, dry and tangled coat
- Hair loss
- Tiny injuries or bacterial infections caused by blood-sucking lice
- Anemia (in severe cases)
If you notice these symptoms, please visit a vet for immediate treatment.
How NHV Remedies Support Cat and Dog Lice
In addition to conventional treatment, we also recommend using natural supplements like the ones in Lice Essentials Kit to support the deworming process of your little one.
Inulin PK is our natural dewormer for dog and cat lice. It is filled with anti-parasitic herbs that help protect furkiddos from lice and the damage they do. Bacopa, especially, promotes the healing of wounds.
Additionally, the antimicrobial, antiparasitic tonic Oregon Grape may help fight off bacterial infections blood-sucking lice cause. Herbs like Papaya may also help dissolve the outer layer of worms.
Another supplement added to this kit is Target Spray. This herbal extract helps furkids repel external parasites naturally. The insecticidal herb lavender included in the formula may help with the discomfort and inflammation lice bite causes. Herbs like European Pennyroyal and rosemary help with lice infestation symptoms like itchiness and hair loss.
On top of that, the blend of herbs works together to help prevent infections, soothe swollen skin, and promote healthy tissue growth.

FAQ
Can I get lice from my dog?
Lice choose their hosts, meaning they are species-specific. Interestingly, the size of their claws is tailored to a particular species, so they can only hang onto the hair shaft of that specific species. That’s why it is unlikely for dog lice to infect humans or other animals.
Where do dogs get lice from?
Our pups usually get lice through direct transmission from pups that already have lice issues. So, it’s easy for your furkid to be infested with lice from places like dog daycare or parks where they can get into contact with other dogs.
Objects like dog collars and grooming tools may also be lice transmission devices.
What color are cat lice?
They are white in color, making them hard to spot.
Is cat lice contagious to other cats?
Cat lice infestation is extremely contagious among kitties. They can get lice from one another via direct and indirect contact. So, if one of your kitties has lice problems, there is a high possibility your other kitties have them too.
