Cat’s Claw for Dogs and Cats

Herbs For Pets 4 min read

Don’t get it wrong. Cat’s Claw has nothing to do with a feline nail.

It’s actually a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries as a natural remedy. As it turns out, Cat’s Claw for dogs and cats may also have several potential benefits for their well-being and immune system.

That’s why this herb is in vet-formulated supplements, such as NHV Felimm, to support fur kids battling viral and bacterial infections.

Whether you’re a pet parent trying to stay proactive or your fur kid could use holistic immune support, a vet-approved Cat’s Claw supplement for dogs and cats may be a useful addition. Here is everything you need to know about this amazing Amazonian herb!

What is Cat’s Claw?

Cat’s claw is the common name for the species U. tomentosa. If you do a web search for cat’s claw, it may show a similarly named yellow flower. While pretty, these are not the same!

Instead, Cat’s Claw is a woody vine plant that has thorns that resemble (you guessed it) a cat’s claw. U. tomentosa does flower, but its blooms are not quite as bright or large. In any case, the bark of Cat’s Claw contains many of its most sought-after properties.

Cat’s Claw comes from the Amazon basin, a region famous for its incredible biodiversity. Local Indigenous communities have long been using it as a natural remedy for guarding against disease – and it continues to be a popular herbal supplement across South America and beyond even today!

With centuries of safe use by people, many pet parents naturally want to use Cat’s Claw for their dogs and cats, hoping to support them during difficult times. Before we get into how pets can use it, let’s explore exactly what the potential benefits of Cat’s Claw may include.

Benefits of Cat’s Claw

Cat’s Claw has been used as a folk remedy, but what does the science say? Many studies are showing promising findings, confirming that traditional herbalism already knew the potential of Cat’s Claw as a supportive herb.

For one, it turns out that Cat’s Claw may indeed help guard our bodies from disease. One study found “statistically significant immune enhancement” after giving subjects a Cat’s Claw extract. This may make it a useful addition for pets who have autoimmune conditions, such as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

Another study identified strong free-radical scavenging properties within Cat’s Claw. Specifically, they found high concentrations of polyphenols (natural compounds found in plants), which may help protect cells from oxidative stress. This could make Cat’s Claw a helpful addition for managing aging.

It may even help with inflammation throughout the body. Researchers note that Cat’s Claw may have benefits for pets with osteoarthritis, making it a potentially useful complementary therapy in addition to regular veterinarian treatments.

Safety of Cat’s Claw for Dogs, Cats, and Other Pets

Cat’s Claw is non-toxic for pets. However, you should not try to dose Cat’s Claw yourself or use supplements made for humans. It is best to use a vet-approved supplement so that you can ensure your pet is getting the right amount.

You can find a vet-approved amount of Cat’s Claw in NHV Felimm, a natural immune system formula for pets. It uses only human-grade ingredients.

As always, it is best practice to consult your veterinarian before adding or making changes to your pet’s wellness routine. Additionally, it is important to space any herbal supplement from vet-prescribed meds by at least half an hour, which ensures proper absorption of both.

Remember, the dosage and quality of the herbal ingredients are crucial for safety and efficacy. We advise against using any herb without proper guidance and under the supervision of your pet’s veterinary team. NHV formulas are meticulously researched and made in a GMP-certified facility. They use only the highest quality organic or ethically harvested herbs. Each formulation was expertly developed by a holistic veterinarian and a master herbalist with a combined 50 years of experience in plant-based remedies. Through dedication and research, NHV formulations are safe and effective in extracting the medicinal properties of the herb through a patented process.

How NHV Uses Cat’s Claw

At NHV, we use a precise amount of Cat’s Claw to help encourage balance within the immune system and support your pet’s natural detoxification processes. And don’t let the name fool you – dogs and other critters can use Cat’s Claw formulas, too.

Why is Cat’s Claw one of the standout stars in NHV Felimm? It works alongside complementary herbs (such as St. John’s Wort and Turmeric) to support your pet when facing tough viral health challenges. Its natural compounds may help balance immune system activity, soothe internal tissues, and support against environmental stress.

We think of NHV Felimm as a daily layer of gentle, natural support, helping keep your pet’s overall defenses steady so they can hold onto their comfort and energy. Thanks to this approach, we love it in our targeted wellness bundles. This includes pet parent favorites such as Feline Leukemia (FeLV) Immune and Antioxidant Super Support for cats with FeLV, or the Viruses Kit for all-around support for pets with viral infections.
