Pet parents deal with their pet’s sickness in different ways. They all love their pets, but not all show it the exact same way. While working in vet clinics I came across pet owners from all walks of life, and I continue to interact with them daily as NHV’s registered vet tech. When it comes to pet dads, I can identify three broad types. Read along and find out which one you are!
The Strong Silent Type
This pet dad brings their pet in for vet appointments but doesn’t usually say much. He’ll leave it to the family to speak with the vets and techs about what’s going on. He’ll stay behind the sidelines, quietly observing but you can still sense that he is deeply affected by how his pet feels. When a serious illness arises, or end-of-life discussions become necessary, he is 100% involved. He just doesn’t want to express his feelings very openly.
But here’s a secret about these types, they are devastated when it’s time to let go. Some of the most touching end-of-life appointments that stick with me are the ones with the otherwise silent and strong men from who you’ve barely ever heard two words in the past. When it’s time to say goodbye to their beloved pet they are no longer silent. They let their buddy know how much they mean to them, and it’s at that time they put the silence aside and cry along with the rest of us.
The Smitten In Love Type
This pet dad has no hang-ups about showing just how much he loves his “little-fluffy-baby-kissy-face”. He is definitely not afraid to let their love shine. He will cringe along with his pup and blurt out a dad joke when it’s time to take a temperature. He will grab his kitty after a blood draw and say “it’s ok baby, it’s all over”. He will have a very hard time letting the vets or techs take their little lovey to ‘the back’.
I’ve seen many significant others roll their eyes at these pet dads, but to me, they’re just owning what they feel inside for their pets, and there’s definitely no shame in that! Men are expected to keep a strong stance in many situations and it can be quite stressful. It is good to know that their pets give these men a chance to let it all go and be the actual love bugs they are.
The Secret Admirer Type
The third type of pet dad that stands out is a mix of the previous two. This dad constantly tries to hide his love for his pets but he can be secretly caught baby talking to them. I think this is the most populated category of pet dads.
You open the door to the exam room and catch them in a snuggle fest or “prep talk” with their pet (“It’s ok when we get home, I’m gonna give you so many cookies and the best belly rubs…”) When they realize you’re there, they quickly turn to the strong silent type. When tough situations arise, they put on their sunglasses so no one will see their eyes well up with tears. They choke back their emotions, but you just know when they get home, they let it all go.
Which type of pet dads does your situation resemble the most? Tell us in the comments below. We’d love to know.
Helping pet dads help their pets better
No matter how they show it, pet dads love their pets as if they are their own children.
No matter how they show it, pet dads love their pets as if they are their own children. They all show their love in different ways, but when you look deep down, they want what’s best for their little-fluffy-baby-kissy-face.
As your pet’s integrative veterinary care team, we are here to help all pet dads take care of their best friends. We offer pet owners the option to update their pet’s records in their accounts with us. This helps them share vital information like age, weight, health condition, and background with us without having to call or email us. NHV Pet Experts can access your pet’s account and leave notes for you – these can be dosage instructions, useful tips or diet suggestions, etc. All pet dads should update their pet’s profile with us. It’s free and it can help make it very easy for us to assist all kinds of pet dads – silent, expressive, and secret!
At NHV we get to help pet dads every day and we have some really lovely stories to share. If you are a pet dad looking for holistic advice, please contact us directly and we’d love to help. We love your pet naturally.

Coat and Skin Support for Dogs
Dog coat and skin supplements like Coco Furcare can help improve the shine and luster of your dog’s beautiful fur. Coco Furcare has natural ingredients that soothe the skin, deterring your pet from scratching themselves raw and leaving their skin open to infection. Protection against parasites and skin allergens also reduces itching and the possibility of future hot spots for your dog.
How Coco Furcare Supports Skin and Coat Health
This spray-on supplement is formulated with powerful, all-natural ingredients like Neem leaf, sodium bicarbonate, and Eucalyptus. These ingredients have potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-pest properties that stop the source of any itching and soothe any irritation.

Improper dog fur care and bites from pests like mites and fleas can result in a hot spot. Hot spots occur when a dog itches or obsessively grooms aggravated skin until the area is raw.

Why Should Pet Pawrents Care About Cat Skin and Fur Care?
Your cat’s skin is the first line of defense between the body and the outside world. Moist dermatitis or "hot spots" can happen when your furkiddo itches or obsessively grooms the irritated skin until the area is raw. The repeated licking or pawing breaks the skin and allows bacteria to spread, so the affected area can become inflamed and infected and can be very uncomfortable for your kitty. Excessive production of oils in the skin can be a response to irritation and can cause unpleasant odors.
How Coco Furcare - Coat Spray for Cats Supports Your Pet’s Skin and Coat.
NHV’s Coco Furcare's all-natural blend of ingredients is safe to use on a daily basis to strengthen your cat’s skin barrier against biting critters and skin irritations while encouraging hair growth and hydration. The coconut oil protects your pet’s skin, encourages healing and helps provide mild UV protection against harmful sun rays. Ingredients like cedarwood, neem, clove bud, lavender and lemongrass work as natural deodorizers against unpleasant smells caused by clogged or irritated skin and reduce dander too! Allergies, bacterial infection and yeast infection are only a few examples of conditions that can benefit from NHV’s Coco Furcare.
Tips for keeping your Cat’s Coat Healthy (with Coco Fur Care)

Made with the finest, organically grown or ethically harvested herbs. Made specifically for pets, vet-formulated and vet approved.
Neem leaf (Azadiracha Indica)
Neem has been used in India for over two millennia for its medicinal properties. It has anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to help your furkiddo achieve the coat they've always wanted as well as aid with skin-related issues like allergies, dermatitis, hair loss, dry skin, dandruff, and skin cancer. Azadiractin - a chemical component found in neem acts as a natural shield against bug bites by interfering with their growth cycle. Too good to be true? Wait until you read about all the other amazing ingredients in Coco Furcare.
Coconut Oil
For centuries, coconut oil (which contains lauric acid and linoleic acid) has been used to improve overall skin and coat health. It can help against microorganisms and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-allergic properties that protect, moisturize and improve your pet's coat. Coconut oil also provides mild UV protection so your pet can play in the sun, have soft skin, and be protected while they're at it.
Rosemary Leaf (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)
Rosemary contains anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and astringent properties that help your fur baby recover from skin allergies, dermatitis, promote wound healing and prevent tick bites. The antioxidants in rosemary help to reverse the negative effects of sun exposure (ie: skin cancer) as well as fight free radical damage in hair follicles. When used topically, it reduces discomfort and improves circulation.
Sodium Bicarbonate
A naturally high alkaline substance, sodium bicarbonate is known to have antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties. It gently absorbs moisture, leaving skin smelling fresh and clean while soothing irritated skin. Sodium bicarbonate also helps to rid your sweet pet of dandruff! It acts as a natural deodorizer and helps soothe irritated, burned skin caused by insect bites.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender's sweet aroma helps to relax pets (and their human guardians) while its anti-inflammatory properties can protect against flea, tick, and parasite bites. If your pet is bitten, lavender helps to reduce the discomfort and itching by reducing swelling and overall discomfort. Its antibacterial, astringent, analgesic and anti-depressive properties are especially beneficial for the prevention and treatment of skin-related issues like dermatitis or skin allergies. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties also help your furry friend recover from cuts and scrapes from an extra intense play session.
Cedarwood (Cedrus)
For centuries, Cedarwood has been used by the Egyptians and Native Americans to deter ticks, fleas, mosquitos, moths, and other harmful pests as well as being used to relieve itchy, dry skin. Its wonderfully woody, fresh scent contains antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that disinfect and destroy pathogens (both viral and fungal), leaving your pet smelling clean, fresh, and ready to go!
Clove bud (Syzgium aromaticum)
Clove is a very aromatic spice with sweet, fruity, and spicy notes that help to eliminate odors. With antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory properties, clove bud is great at soothing skin to stop your kitty from constant scratching and chronic hot spots. It helps disinfect wounds and works against fungal infections. Clove also helps with cough, respiratory issues, and allergies. In traditional medicine, it has been used to ward off fleas, ticks, and other biting insects.
Lemongrass (Citronella) (Cymbopogon)
Studies have shown that lemongrass has many medicinal properties, acting as anthelmintic (removes parasitic worms), antibacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent to make skin and coat healthier and stronger. The anti-inflammatory properties help with anxiety, discomfort reduction, and swelling, while its natural deodorizing properties keep your furkiddo looking and smelling great! Lemongrass also provides effective protection against insect bites eg. mites, mosquitoes, and ticks.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
Chamomile is one of the best antioxidants for the skin due to its anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal wounds (including those caused by fleabites), contact allergies, defend against microorganisms, and various bacterial fungal infections. It is even known to expel parasites! This plant is praised for its therapeutic benefits and wound healing properties. Its sweet, soft floral scent also helps calm your pet's nerves (as well as their human guardians).
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)
Eucalyptus is naturally antiseptic and can help reduce inflammation of the respiratory tract so it is great support if your furry friend has bronchitis or asthma. This plant extract has been commonly used for flea prevention due to its anti-itch, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Eucalyptus also deodorizes skin, heals wounds, smells pleasant, nourishes skin and coat, soothes skin allergies, and boosts hair growth.
How to Apply
Lightly spray your pet from back of ears to tail, taking care to avoid the eye area. Brush through coat, repeat as needed.

Herbal dietary supplements are beneficial to the health and well-being of your pet and are safe for long-term use. Every pet responds to natural herbal supplements differently, therefore it is important to be consistent and administer the product daily.

Ingredients
Made with the finest, organically grown or ethically harvested herbs. Made specifically for pets, vet-formulated and vet approved.
Neem leaf (Azadiracha Indica)
Neem has been used in India for over two millennia for its medicinal properties. It has anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to help your furkiddo achieve the coat they've always wanted as well as aid with skin-related issues like allergies, dermatitis, hair loss, dry skin, dandruff, and skin cancer. Azadiractin - a chemical component found in neem acts as a natural shield against bug bites by interfering with their growth cycle. Too good to be true? Wait until you read about all the other amazing ingredients in Coco Furcare.
Coconut Oil
For centuries, coconut oil (which contains lauric acid and linoleic acid) has been used to improve overall skin and coat health. It can help against microorganisms and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-allergic properties that protect, moisturize and improve your pet's coat. Coconut oil also provides mild UV protection so your pet can play in the sun, have soft skin, and be protected while they're at it.
Rosemary Leaf (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)
Rosemary contains anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and astringent properties that help your fur baby recover from skin allergies, dermatitis, promote wound healing and prevent tick bites. The antioxidants in rosemary help to reverse the negative effects of sun exposure (ie: skin cancer) as well as fight free radical damage in hair follicles. When used topically, it reduces discomfort and improves circulation.
Sodium Bicarbonate
A naturally high alkaline substance, sodium bicarbonate is known to have antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties. It gently absorbs moisture, leaving skin smelling fresh and clean while soothing irritated skin. Sodium bicarbonate also helps to rid your sweet pet of dandruff! It acts as a natural deodorizer and helps soothe irritated, burned skin caused by insect bites.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender's sweet aroma helps to relax pets (and their human guardians) while its anti-inflammatory properties can protect against flea, tick, and parasite bites. If your pet is bitten, lavender helps to reduce the discomfort and itching by reducing swelling and overall discomfort. Its antibacterial, astringent, analgesic and anti-depressive properties are especially beneficial for the prevention and treatment of skin-related issues like dermatitis or skin allergies. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties also help your furry friend recover from cuts and scrapes from an extra intense play session.
Cedarwood (Cedrus)
For centuries, Cedarwood has been used by the Egyptians and Native Americans to deter ticks, fleas, mosquitos, moths, and other harmful pests as well as being used to relieve itchy, dry skin. Its wonderfully woody, fresh scent contains antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that disinfect and destroy pathogens (both viral and fungal), leaving your pet smelling clean, fresh, and ready to go!
Clove bud (Syzgium aromaticum)
Clove is a very aromatic spice with sweet, fruity, and spicy notes that help to eliminate odors. With antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory properties, clove bud is great at soothing skin to stop your kitty from constant scratching and chronic hot spots. It helps disinfect wounds and works against fungal infections. Clove also helps with cough, respiratory issues, and allergies. In traditional medicine, it has been used to ward off fleas, ticks, and other biting insects.
Lemongrass (Citronella) (Cymbopogon)
Studies have shown that lemongrass has many medicinal properties, acting as anthelmintic (removes parasitic worms), antibacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent to make skin and coat healthier and stronger. The anti-inflammatory properties help with anxiety, discomfort reduction, and swelling, while its natural deodorizing properties keep your furkiddo looking and smelling great! Lemongrass also provides effective protection against insect bites eg. mites, mosquitoes, and ticks.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
Chamomile is one of the best antioxidants for the skin due to its anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal wounds (including those caused by fleabites), contact allergies, defend against microorganisms, and various bacterial fungal infections. It is even known to expel parasites! This plant is praised for its therapeutic benefits and wound healing properties. Its sweet, soft floral scent also helps calm your pet's nerves (as well as their human guardians).
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)
Eucalyptus is naturally antiseptic and can help reduce inflammation of the respiratory tract so it is great support if your furry friend has bronchitis or asthma. This plant extract has been commonly used for flea prevention due to its anti-itch, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Eucalyptus also deodorizes skin, heals wounds, smells pleasant, nourishes skin and coat, soothes skin allergies, and boosts hair growth.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
