Spring is here!
After the long winter some of us have endured, we can’t help but feel excited for beautiful spring, filled with warm weather and colorful flowers; but unfortunately, some of those beautiful flowers and plants can be poisonous and can have a negative impact on our beloved pets.
Effects of poisoning can result in discomfort, gastrointestinal issues, long-term illness, debilitation, reproductive problems, weight loss, and most severely death. Of course, we aren’t suggesting a complete ban on flowers, but at NHV we seek to empower you with knowledge—it can save a life. At the end of this blog, you will find a list of common plants to be aware of. We hope you will find this guide helpful.
Simply coming into contact with the skin can cause mild to more severe reactions.
It’s important to note that not all plants need to be ingested to cause adverse health reactions to your pets. Simply coming into contact with the skin can cause mild to more severe reactions. Be cautious when gardening, and make sure poisonous plants and leaves are cleaned up and out of pet reach. Remember to be extra vigilant with your pet babies since curious kittens and puppies are most at risk of ingesting and/ or coming into contact with poisonous plants and flowers.
If you suspect your pet has been poisoned, please seek professional care immediately. Symptoms of poisoning can vary from vomiting and diarrhea to weakness, lethargy, and collapse.
We recommend NHV Milk Thistle for liver support, NHV BK Detox to clear toxins, and NHV Tripsy for kidney support for after-emergency recovery.
Pet Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies can also impact your pets’ health and well-being; however, it’s an issue that many pet owners aren’t aware of. While human allergies usually involve the respiratory system, allergies in cats and dogs normally involve skin irritation. Skin can become inflamed, and hair loss, open sores, and scabbing can occur.
To help with allergies we suggest the following:
- Wiping down paws completely to remove allergens and toxins from paw pads, which can spread on the skin as your pet grooms himself or herself.
- Use non-toxic cleaning agents rather than average household cleaners, which can contain harsh chemicals.
- Support their immunity with healthy anti-inflammatory diets. A good idea would be to add NHV Stimmune and NHV Petomega 3 to their daily diet to increase immunity naturally.
- We also suggest the Allergies Kit by NHV

Dogs can have seasonal allergies just like people. A dog’s immune system will react to everyday allergens found in the environment. Like people, dogs can have an allergy to pollen, mold, grass, ragweed, and dust mites. They can also be allergic to certain household products such as cleaners, carpet fibers, carpet deodorizers, insecticides, rubber, etc. and contract contact dermatitis.
Your pet’s immune system can overreact to these common unharmful environmental substances. You can help support your pet’s immune reaction to these airborne irritants by using safe and natural herbal supplements.
It’s best to first ensure that your dog has a seasonal allergy and is not dealing with skin allergies or food allergies. If you suspect this, our pet experts can offer different types of suggestions to help, like an elimination diet or novel protein diet for food allergies.
How Alge-Ex Supports Dogs with Seasonal Allergies
Alge-Ex is made with natural ingredients that are powerful against the causes of allergies, but gentle on your pet’s body. It was formulated by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined experience of over 50 years using plant extracts such as eyebright, feverfew, and European goldenrod" (2 instances). The natural properties of these ingredients help to reduce inflammation and irritation, and regulate your pet’s histamine response.
Additional Support
Bathing your pet is also an excellent way of helping your dog cope with a seasonal allergy. Bathing helps remove allergens and also provides relief. Make sure to give your pet plenty of filtered water.
Never attempt to diagnose your dog on your own. Your vet will be able to perform the required tests and make the necessary suggestions.

Natural Support for Dermatitis, Mange and Skin Infections
Your pup's skin is their largest organ! And because of this, their skin is constantly susceptible to infection, airborne irritants, icky biting insects and much more. Your furkiddo will scratch and bite when they are feeling stressed and have ouchies on their body. This obsessive behavior can introduce unwanted bacteria, whether it is from the environment or your pup’s own body, which can lead to infection. An itchy, inflamed ‘dog hot spot’ can be the end result. If these dog hot spots are left untreated, they can progress to secondary skin infections, abscesses or even metastatic tumors (eg. carcinoma). Ouch Away spray, dog skin infection spray, helps heal inflamed, itchy skin and promotes hair regrowth.
How NHV's Dog Skin Infection Spray Relieves Irritated Skin
Since your pup’s skin is their largest organ, it probably doesn't surprise you that skin issues are the most common health concern in dogs. These include (but are not limited to) dermatitis, mange and skin infections.
Dermatitis in dogs is a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to a variety of common and typically harmless environmental substances. These allergens include grasses, pollens, house dust mites, or mold spores. Breeds predisposed to developing allergies include Chinese Shar-Peis, Wire Fox Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Dalmatians, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Lhasa Apsos, Scottish Terriers, Shih Tzus, and West Highland White Terriers. However, any breed (purebred or mixed) can be susceptible to allergies. The areas most affected are generally the paws, face, ears, front legs, and abdomen, but scratching all over the body is fairly common too. Ouch Away Spray for dog skin infections, contains ingredients like Chamomile, Marigold and Aloe vera that cools and soothes wounds, burns and irritated skin while strengthening the immune system.
The most common signs of dermatitis in dogs are:
- Overall itchiness
- Greasy and/or red skin
- Possible foul odor and/or smelly discharge
- Scaly, crusty, and/or flaky skin
- Thickened skin, aka 'elephant skin'
- Darkly pigmented skin (hyperpigmentation)
- Chronic or recurring ear infections
Dog mange is caused by mites and can lead to inflamed skin and nasty sores. Scabies or sarcoptic mange is contagious and is transmissible to humans. Black mange is not transmissible to humans due to it being a genetic condition. Secondary bacterial and yeast infections may develop if left untreated while sores on the skin can build up and release a powerful musty odor. You can learn more about mange and how to help your dog if they are suffering from it in Dr. Cook's article on mange. Ingredients like Rosemary, Tea Tree oil and Lemongrass oil, within the Ouch Away Spray, are effective topically against external parasites, combating skin infections and helping to stimulate fur regrowth (from constant biting and scratching).

NHV Ouch Away Spray, dog skin infection spray, is an effective topical spray that is 100% natural and vet-formulated to soothe your pup’s skin, coat issues, and dog hot spots.

*Please include Oleander in your list. My yard is surrounded by it. I wasn’t aware of its toxicity until one of my cats chewed half a leaf and died two days later. A handful of leaves will kill a horse. People can die if they breathe the burning plant, etc
*Hi Patti,
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your story. We are so sorry to hear about your cat. We have added Oleander to our list. *NHV
