Ask me anything session August 22
Do you also have questions? You can ask them at the Questions Fire on Friday post via our Facebook page
Q: “What do you put in for grass and pollen itching in dogs?”
➡️
There are several resources we can use for this purpose. For the most appropriate advice, we will need to see the dog once.
In general, the PUUR Pollen remedy works very well for this type of complaint. In combination with an agent to support the immune system, Phytonics Immu boost Pro.
Question: “Where can you see/notice that your horse is sugar resistant?”
➡️
Horses and ponies with insulin resistance are also generally overweight. Fat deposits at the mane crest and tail end are the most well-known. A horse’s mane crest should be able to move freely and not be tight. Abrasion to these areas is also common.
In addition, these animals are often somewhat sluggish, slower in their movements and sometimes walking on the hard is also painful.
Their sugar metabolism is impaired to the point where they “get fat on air.”
Q: “I have been seeing products with garlic for both dogs and horses come up more often lately. Now I have always understood that garlic is very bad for both species. Is this knowledge outdated?”
➡️ In garlic and all other onion-like plants, there is the compound N-propyl disulfide. A person can process this substance, but animal species such as the horse and the dog cannot process it. For us, the attributed positive effects of garlic do not outweigh the toxic load of garlic. We therefore advise against the use of garlic in food and dietary supplements in horses and dogs.
Question: “What to do when you have car sickness…”
➡️ PUUR Tour is a very fine remedy which can support this.
