Continued immune, digestive and respiratory support for your furry loved one.

The respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and central nervous system of our animals need as much support as the immune system itself. The animal body is a delicate balance of organs and body systems – all relying on each other to facilitate health, harmony and balance.

Puppies between three and six months and elderly animals are particularly in need of immune support – as their immune systems are either still developing or are delicate and more fragile.

There are many viruses that have been successfully controlled and prevented by means of routine vaccination and it is important that you discuss a vaccination program with your vet. More recently there has been some controversy in veterinary circles about reducing the frequency of vaccinations as opposed to routinely administering annual ‘top up’ vaccines.  This is because research has suggested that over-vaccination can have a detrimental effect on the immune system. For this reason, many vets are recommending that animals in low-risk areas be vaccinated less frequently. However, please discuss this issue with your vet as it is important to keep your pet protected.

The natural way

Animals that follow a healthy varied diet with plenty of raw fruit and vegetables as well as raw meat and those that have regular exercise will tend to have stronger immune systems and enjoy all round systemic health.
What else can I do help my pet?
• Avoid contact with raccoons, foxes, skunks and other potentially infected wildlife if possible.
• Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic).

• Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke.
