skin support
This Monday, we celebrate a day of remembrance for all the brave servicemen and women. But as we celebrate Memorial Day, and honor those courageous souls, let’s not forget the four-legged, furry, or feathered that did their part to make our lives better. Thank you – we salute you.
Here are 2 amazing stories of animal courage and inspiration for this Memorial Day.
Smoky
In 1944, Smoky was found by an American soldier in an abandoned foxhole in the jungles of New Guinea and was sold to Corporal William A. Wynne for 2 Australian pounds. She loyally followed her new owner through the rest of the war living in the New Guinea jungle and Rock Islands, sharing his rations, and sleeping in his tent.
In addition to saving Corporal Wynne’s life on many occasions and providing comfort and entertainment for other soldiers, Smoky was credited with 12 combat missions and awarded 8 battle stars, and even helped string communication lines between outposts in the Philippines.

On November 11, 2005, a bronze life-sized sculpture of Smoky sitting in a GI helmet immortalizes her in Cleveland Ohio where she died at the age of 15. The plaque reads “Smoky, Yorkie Doodle Dandy, and dogs of all wars”.
Cher Ami
On October 3, 1918, Major Charles White Whittlesey with more than 500 men was trapped behind enemy lines without food or ammunition. Not knowing their location, the allied troops began to fire at them. Surrounded by Germans and receiving friendly fire, by the second day less than half of the men survived.
Cher Ami had been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, covered in blood, and had a leg hanging.
Major Whittlesey dispatched messages by pigeon trying to stop the friendly fire. 2 birds were shot down and only “Cher Ami”, the brave homing pigeon was left. She was carrying this message: “We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heaven’s sake, stop it.” As Cher Ami tried to get the message back home, the Germans saw her and opened fire. She was shot down. But she didn’t stop. She took flight again and arrived at her loft at division headquarters with her message intact and saved almost 200 American lives. Cher Ami had been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, covered in blood, and had a leg hanging. Her bravery will not be forgotten.
There are too many stories of animal courage to share and thousands more whose stories we simply do not know. Thank you again from all us humans, your bravery and loyalty inspire us.

Dog Paw Pad Ointment for Burn Support
Paw pad injuries due to over-exercise are common injuries for active pups, especially on hot summer days. Running back and forth on rough surfaces like concrete, pavement, or gravel may cause tenderness, blisters, burns, and possible peeling in the pad skin. As a rule of thumb, if the surface is too hot to put the back of your hand onto it, then it isn't safe for your little one to be walking on it either. Dog paw pads are pretty tough, but they aren't meant for running on such hard surfaces for long periods of time. Don't feel bad if your fluffy friend has a paw pad injury and you didn’t notice right away because there may not be any symptoms until they are settling down at home later. Just like summer, winter can present some risks as well. It is easy for your pup's paw pads to get dehydrated, dry or cracked with dry, cold weather. The iconic blue/green salt that is sprinkled onto sideways and walkways can definitely cause ouchies in your furkiddo's paws. To avoid paw pad injuries, consider protective accessories like booties or shoes for your furbaby. Shorter walks, limiting time on hot surfaces and using a topical ointment for dog paws are other ways to prevent paw pad injuries.
How NHV’s Dog Paw Ointment Supports Paw Pad Injuries and More
Paw pad injuries can be minor scratches but sometimes the pads are so badly damaged that the surface of the skin begins to blister and peel away from the foot. These injuries can take quite a while to heal and cause a lot of pain and discomfort for your furkiddo. For more severe injuries, vet-prescribed antibiotics may be required. For less severe burns and scrapes, a topical ointment for dog paws like NHV Heal Care can help soothe inflamed skin and help decrease the risk of infection - your pup's paws aren't always the cleanest so they can be at a higher risk for a bacterial or fungal (yeast) infection.
Heal care for dogs contains ingredients like Arnica and St. John's Wort which are beneficial for a variety of issues from burnt paw pads to achy joints. Arnica is known for its ability to help sprains and joint discomfort by dilating blood vessels, increasing circulation to the affected area and enhancing recovery. St. John’s Wort is a cooling herb that has traditionally been used for reducing inflammation and promoting healing from injuries such as burns, bruises, sores, cramps, sprains and discomfort caused by nerve damage.
