Aloe Vera
Holistic Pet Tip:
Aloe vera is a safe and very highly medicinal plant for pets. There is a lot of misinformation going around about aloe vera being toxic to pets. The green, outer leaves of the plant can be toxic to animals if ingested, causing vomiting, especially in cats, but the inner gel is perfectly safe for topical and internal use.
Aloe vera is a wonderful plant that grows very easily. It can be used topically for any wounds, skin irritations, burns, dry skin, and itchy skin. You can apply the inner gel straight from the plant by scraping it from the leaves, or buy it as a purified gel from the store. Aloe vera can also be used internally to treat ulcers, gastritis, stomach irritation and inflammatory bowel disease. Too much can cause diarrhea, so it is also good as a treatment for constipation.
Because of its safety and healing properties, I use pure aloe vera gel and liquid as a base for most of my PawromaTherapy handcrafted pet products. You can get my Healing Gel for Dogs or my Healing Gel for Cats in my Shop. They contain pure aloe vera gel with a blend of essential oils for dogs and herbs for cats. Both are for topical use on the skin.
You can also find my products on Etsy and Amazon or contact us at the office Animal Healing Solutions
