It’s the time of year for love, laughter, and surprises and we bet a few of these holiday pet facts might just surprise you!
Approximately 65% of US households own a pet. Of those, it is estimated that 37-47% have a dog, and 30-37% have a cat -that’s approximately 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats! Although Freshwater fish take the top spot as the most popular pet, with a whopping estimated 95.5 million swimming around in US homes.
But did you know…….
1. 56% of dog owners and 42% of cat owners say they bought holiday gifts for their pets last year.
2. 60-70% of pet parents say they’ve signed their pets’ names on cards and letters and 58% include their pets in family holiday portraits.
3. This holiday season, pet owners are expected to spend an average of $62 for presents for their furry friends. Millennials however are expected to outspend everyone else at an average of $81 each. (If we do the math……That’s a lot!!!!)
4. Some scientists believe that the Reindeer was one of the first domesticated animals (first domesticated around 2,000 years ago, per the Smithsonian).
Reindeer don’t fly, but they do sometimes have red noses.
a) Reindeer don’t fly, but they do sometimes have red noses. Reindeer have 25% more capillaries that carry red, oxygen-rich blood in their noses than humans. These vessels are essential for regulating the animal’s internal body temperature and in colder climates, an increase in blood flow to the nose helps keep the nose’s surface warm.
b) Santa’s reindeer must be female since in all images they have antlers. Male reindeer lose their antlers in November, but females will keep theirs for much longer.
c) Reindeer are quite quick! They can run up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
d) Reindeer are built for the cold. Not only do their noses warm up the air before it gets to their lungs, but their entire bodies, including their hooves, are covered with fur.
A couple more fun pet facts as a little extra gift to you:
1. It has been proven that pet owners live longer, have less stress, have fewer heart attacks and see doctors 25% fewer times than people who don’t have pets.
2. Over 50% of all pet owners would rather be stranded on a desert island with their pet than another person.
Happy Holidays from all of us, two-legged and four, at NHV!
Help reduce aggressive behavior and provide anxiety and stress relief for your cat with Matricalm, a natural herbal product designed to help reduce excitability in your pet.

NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
Support for inflamed muscles and joints in cats
May help relieve discomfort
May stimulate and improve or balance the appetite
Helps with digestion
NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
How Yucca Supports Cats
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.

Diarrhea is a symptom of digestive disorders. In cats, it can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, food allergies, parasites, or commonly an underlying condition, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease.
To help with cat diarrhea, make sure your pet is getting adequate water and nutrition as diarrhea can lead to weight loss, dehydration, vomiting, and lethargy. Remember that a cat can be eating the same food for years and still develop a food allergy to it. Talk to your vet to rule out any underlying conditions.
For days when your cat is suffering from acute diarrhea, the Plantaeris dosage may be safely doubled. You can then bring down the dosage to normal after the episode has passed. Try adding a bit of pumpkin to their diet to help bulk up stools.

Holistic Support and Pet Supplements for the Holidays
'Tis the season you say! Of course, the holidays are a time to celebrate, but with family dinners and get-togethers just around the corner, changes in your pet's daily routine can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Hanging wires or seasonal decorations can entice your pet's curiosity, and they may gobble up something they weren't supposed to from the kitchen! Bringing home new plants like belladonna, mistletoe, or holly may be toxic to your pets, and may cause an upset tummy resulting in diarrhea from a few casual nibbles. We recommend creating safe spaces for your little one to relax, play and retreat to when the festivities become too much for them. If you're low on space, just opening up a few closets or having a few boxes with blankets or soft bedding inside will do wonders for your pet's mental wellbeing. For added support, we recommend our Holiday Essentials Kit that contains Matricalm (natural stress relief), Plantaeris (diarrhea support) and Yucca (anti-inflammatory and appetite support).
How the NHV Holiday Essentials Kit Supports A Relaxed Pet
With the new faces and changes, your dog, cat or pet’s heart rate and blood pressure may increase, and they may become irritated, excitable, and stressed. These symptoms may cause digestive upset and aggressive behavior. Matricalm contains five calming herbs that may help relax the nervous system, improve digestion and discourage aggressive or anxious behavior.
Dogs and cats of all ages can have very sensitive GI tracts (especially our feline friends), so if they accidentally munch on mistletoe, an ornament, chocolate or an edible arrangement, they will likely get an upset tummy and possibly diarrhea. Plantaeris is a gentle, fast-acting diarrhea remedy that contains herbs like barberry and mullein which help to relax muscle cramping and encourage digestion. Some foods, like chocolate, and plants can be toxic, please see an emergency vet right away if your pet has ingested toxic foods/plants.
Yucca is a nutritive superfood (rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein) and contains beneficial properties that help support the absorption of nutrients. Yucca also helps with overall digestive discomfort, and can even help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some pets.

Matricalm contains five calming herbs that may help relax the nervous system, improve digestion and discourage aggressive or anxious behavior.
Dogs and cats of all ages can have very sensitive GI tracts (especially our feline friends), so if they accidentally munch on mistletoe, an ornament, chocolate or an edible arrangement, they will likely get an upset tummy and possibly diarrhea. Plantaeris is a gentle, fast-acting diarrhea remedy that contains herbs like barberry and mullein which help to relax muscle cramping and encourage digestion. Some foods, like chocolate, and plants can be toxic, please see an emergency vet right away if your pet has ingested toxic foods/plants.
Yucca is a nutritive superfood (rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein) and contains beneficial properties that help support the absorption of nutrients. Yucca also helps with overall digestive discomfort, and can even help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some pets.

How to Administer Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favorite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
