This week we want to talk a little about dog and cat hair re-growth when the animal has been injured and is sporting a scar and the benefits of using MSN cream for healthy skin. When your animal has been injured or had an operation is can be not only a traumatic time for the animal but also for the owner and any children in the house also. A big scar needs to fully heal as quickly as possible for that your pet can get on with its life and get back to 100% fitness. A scar on an animal can cause just as much psychological distress as it would on their human counterparts so it is important to get things back to normal ASAP.

Bulldogs are particularly susceptible to numerous ailments, it is something innate in Bulldogs that we can't do anything about, but we can make them as comfortable as possible when something inflames or they get an infection. One of the most common complaints this breed has is dry skin. The dogs are wrinkly and so the folds are prone to irritation, this can lead to dry and cracked skin and hair loss. To help prevent and treat many owners use and recommend MSM cream; MSM is a soothing anti bacterial cream, combining all the benefits of MSM, Aloe Vera, Zinc, Castor Oil and essential oils of Tea tree, Lavender, Chamomile and Jojoba to help soothe minor skin conditions and promote hair growth after loss due to a scar or skin irritation.

If you take your dog our cross country and they like getting down and dirty, why not use MSM cream to impede penetration.

There are many supplements to aid your pet's diet today all of which promote a wide range of common deficiencies various animals suffer innately. These are usually nothing to worry about and are easily treatable with simple health food supplements which can be added to their normal food. Supplements are not just for animals that need treatment or for their immune systems in need building up after illness; they can be used on a regular basis to keep your animal in a healthy state of being through out its life. Supplements give you the advantage of containing essential vitamins and minerals that normal dried pet foods cannot supply. These animal supplements can be added to your pets' food, they are tasteless and odourless making it easy to give your dog or cat or bird et cetera everything it needs for growth and mental development. There are three basic types of pet food which you can buy off the shelf (commercial pet foods). These have been formulated to give a balanced diet by veterinarian nutritionists, but animals like humans need extra vitamins and minerals when they are either puppies or when they are getting on in life. No matter what stage of development he or she is at, a supplement can always help. Remember, your pet cannot choose what it eats and it is relying on you to make the right choices so investigate all avenues to ensure they are getting the best. The main types are wet or canned, semi wet/moist and dry, the only difference with these is the taste, the canned food with its meaty chunks and gravy is regarded as the most palatable where dry is the least. The decision is yours, you pet will let you know one way or another which they prefer, ultimately the goal is to make sure your pet is as happy and healthy as it can be. If you want to talk to us about supplements to pet food give us a call and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Tea tree shampoo for dogs and cats, and pets in general, is an excellent cleanser which helps to treat a number of non specific skin and coat conditions. Tea tree is suitable for all coat types in that if the coat is too greasy the shampoo will balance the oil out and vice versa if the coat is too dry and the skin is broken or dry it will help with itchiness, cooling the skin and dehydrating the animals' coat.

If you have a dog you might consider using dog disentangler and conditioning lotion in conjunction with the tea tree shampoo for the best results. This will help to repel dirt, grease and static and will leave the coat with a long lasting shin. All our pet products are made with natural and safe ingredients, there are no harmful chemicals or toxins but if your pet has a sever skin condition you are best to check with your vet first. All orders are normally with you in three days unless you are outside of the UK where it can take slightly longer.
