Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve
Q: Where can I apply Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve?
A: Anywhere on your pet's body! We particularly love it for soothing hot spots or other skin breakouts. If you live in a cold weather climate, try it on your dog's foot pads during the winter—it helps keep them softer to prevent cracking and bleeding.
Q: My dog likes to lick the Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve when I use it on his skin. Is this bad for him?
A: No it is not bad for him…but we do recommend applying the salve and then distracting your dog with a nice long walk or some other activity to allow it time to absorb into the skin and work its wonders! You can re-apply it liberally and frequently to problem areas without concern.
Q: My pet gets greasy smelly ears. Do you have anything that might help?
A: We recommend at least weekly examination and cleaning of the ears to keep them healthy. Debris and wax can accumulate in the ear canal and can predispose to infection if not removed routinely. The Herbal Earwash is not medicated and won't cure an infection but is a good weekly maintenance cleaning solution. Read my article on proper ear cleaning. –Dr. Donna Spector
If your pets ears are have a significant discharge, are red, painful or very malodorous you should see your veterinarian.
Q: Do you have anything for chronic eye discharge?
A: Pets with short snouts ("peke faces"; brachycephalic) tend to have bent tear ducts. Debris can easily accumulate and clog up their tear ducts; causing tears or discharge to spill out on the face. When used properly the Cloud Nine Herbal Eyewash Kit can help keep discharge to a minimum and the eyes clean and comfortable. Read my article on proper eye cleaning. –Dr. Donna Spector
If the eye discharge does not improve within several days or if your pet develops squinting, redness or pain, contact your veterinarian to determine if your dog has an underlying medical condition.
Cloud Nine Herbal Dip
Q: I don't like putting harsh chemicals on my pet, and prefer natural aromatic oils. How much Cloud Nine Herbal Dip should I use to make an herbal spray for my pet?
A: Use 1/2 teaspoon with 16oz of water in the spray bottle! You can also apply the dip to fabric collars on bedding as a natural repellent. Enjoy!
Q: What are the advantages of Halo's Herbal Shampoo for my pet's coat?
A: The Herbal Shampoo contains only natural herbal extracts and botanical oils—no detergents, foaming agents or other harsh chemicals that may strip your pet's haircoat of its natural oils or cause dry skin.
