Cold Weather Cat and Dog Joint Supplements and Pawcare
When the weather changes, it isn't just us that notices! Our pets feel it too! During colder fall and winter months, your furkiddo may be especially vulnerable to joint inflammation, arthritic flare-ups, bruises, cuts and paw pad injuries. As their pet pawrent, you may notice them acting a little differently, for example, if your dog or cat's joints are sore, they may have difficulty going to the bathroom normally. And in many places that deal with ice and snow in colder months, the salt on the roads may further aggravate your pet. Salt can really dry out and crack the skin on their paw pads, or worse, the salt is licked and ingested, causing salt poisoning. Signs of salt poisoning are drooling, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. More severe cases of salt poisoning may lead to seizures, comas, and even death. We highly recommend washing your pet's paws with warm soapy water after wintery romps to prevent salt from irritating the skin. Once the paws are clean and dry, NHV Heal Care is a beneficial dog paw balm and cat paw balm for adding moisture back into the skin and creating a protective barrier against the elements. To provide internal support from the elements, Old Timer and Yucca round out the Winter Health Kit to help soothe inflammation in the muscles and joints, help revitalize energy levels and add immune support so that our furry friends are protected inside and out!
How NHV Remedies Protects Your Pets Against the Elements
You may notice small changes in your dog or cat's behavior when they aren't feeling their best. Arthritis in cats and dogs can become more noticeable in the winter, as colder temperatures may increase joint discomfort—just like in humans.
And then the added issue of road salt in colder months may cause further stress and discomfort. As their paw parent, you will want to reduce swelling and inflammation, improve circulation and support their immune system so that they can bounce back and get outside! NHV Winter Health Kit contains Old Timer, Yucca, and Heal Care. Old Timer's blend of nutrient-rich herbs is beneficial for immune support, improving energy levels and helping the body deal with stress.
