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.
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:

Fast and effective relief for your dog’s seasonal environmental allergy by reducing symptoms associated with allergies in dogs caused by pollen, mold, and more.
Fast and effective relief for your dog’s seasonal environmental allergy by reducing symptoms associated with allergies in dogs caused by pollen, mold, and more.
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.
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.
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.
Eyebright - An herb that has a long history of use for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anticatarrhal, and antiviral activities. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, eyebright is used for upper respiratory tract infections, hay fever, sinusitis, and catarrh (inflammation of the mucous membranes). As an astringent, it is used for dry congestion. It is considered to be useful for seasonal allergies and other nasal irritations in dogs. It also relieves itchy eyes.
Ginger - A pungent and aromatic root used as a spice to enhance flavor in food. The part used is the rhizome which has been used for thousands of years for nausea and gastrointestinal relief. Research has shown that ginger has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Feverfew - An herb originally native to Eastern Europe. It has been used to reduce migraines. Studies have shown that feverfew inhibits the release of histamine and serotonin. It is considered to be very safe for dogs and cats, and is used as an alternative to aspirin, which can be toxic to cats.
European Golden Rod - An herb with anti-inflammatory, anticatarrhal, and antioxidant properties. It helps increase renal blood flow and the glomerular filtration rate without stimulating the loss of sodium and chloride.
Echinacea - In human and animal experiments, Echinacea preparations have been shown to have immunostimulant effects. Its defense against microorganisms help the body fight infections and remove invading bacteria. Echinacea also supports the lymph system, which in turn expels waste from the tissues.

Holistic Support for Dermatitis, Mange and Yeast Infections

Your furkiddo’s skin can be sensitive to things like environmental allergies, biting insects, fungal overgrowth and much more! To self-soothe, your pup may start to bite, lick, or scratch themselves causing inflammation and possible hair loss. NHV Ouch Away, dog skin infection spray, helps your pup get on top of skin and coat issues naturally.
Your furkiddo’s skin can be sensitive to things like environmental allergies, biting insects, fungal overgrowth and much more! To self-soothe, your pup may start to bite, lick, or scratch themselves causing inflammation and possible hair loss. NHV Ouch Away, dog skin infection spray, helps your pup get on top of skin and coat issues naturally.
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:
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).

*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
