skin and coat health
As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, springtime brings a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. For pet parents, it’s also a prime time to focus on springtime pet wellness, ensuring our furriends are in tip-top shape to fully embrace the wonders of the season.
In this blog, we delve into the importance of springtime pet wellness and provide valuable tips to help you keep your pet thriving during this vibrant season.
Seasonal Shifts and Your Pet’s Wellbeing
Spring’s arrival brings an abundance of changes that can affect our pets in various ways. The shift in temperatures can lead to fluctuations in their energy levels and metabolism. As the world outside awakens, springtime pet wellness becomes even more crucial, as increased outdoor activities expose pets to potential allergens and lurking parasites.
Allergies and Preventive measures
The shift in temperatures can lead to fluctuations in their energy levels and metabolism.
Just like us humans, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies. Itchy skin, redness, sneezing, and watery eyes are all common signs your pet might be struggling with allergies. To alleviate their discomfort, it’s crucial to identify and address the allergens promptly.
Here’s how you can navigate springtime pet wellness and allergies:
- Regular Grooming: Brushing your pet regularly helps remove allergens clinging to their fur.
- Specialized shampoos and topical sprays: Veterinarian-recommended shampoos and topical sprays can provide relief from itching and inflammation.
- Natural Support: Natural supplements can be a great addition to your springtime pet wellness routine. NHV Alge-Ex, for example, is formulated to help with environmental or seasonal allergies caused by pollen, grass, and dust, potentially supporting symptoms like sneezing, itchy skin, and eye rubbing.
Remember: If your pet’s allergy symptoms seem severe, consult your veterinarian for allergy testing and a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Flea and Tick Prevention: A Springtime Essential
Regular grooming, specialized shampoos, and natural supplement support can help with allergies in furkids.
With the arrival of spring, the risk of flea and tick infestations increases. These unwanted pests not only cause discomfort but can also transmit serious diseases. To protect your furkid, invest in a reliable flea and tick prevention method recommended by your veterinarian. Options include topical treatments, oral medications, and flea collars.
Here are some additional tips for maintaining springtime pet wellness:
- Follow Instructions Carefully: Always follow the product’s instructions meticulously and administer it regularly for optimal effectiveness throughout the spring season.
- Consider Holistic Skin Health Support: NHV Ouch Away, a glycerin-based topical spray, may help deter fleas and soothe irritated skin. It can also support fighting infections in case of skin injuries and may even help with hair loss. Additionally, NHV Coco Furcare is an all-natural, multi-purpose topical spray that promotes healthy skin and coat while offering sun protection and a fresh scent. It can also help soothe symptoms of skin allergies and shield against bug bites.
Outdoor Adventures: Safety First, Fun Always!
Springtime is purrfect for outdoor adventures with your pet, but prioritizing safety is paramount for a successful springtime pet wellness experience.
Here are some key things to remember:
- Close Supervision: Keep a watchful eye on your curious little one during outdoor activities, especially near water bodies where drowning accidents can occur.
- Hazard Awareness: Be mindful of potential dangers like toxic plants, pesticides, and sharp objects that may pose a threat to your furkid’s well-being.
- Hydration and Shade: Ensure your pet stays hydrated by providing ample water and offering shade on warmer days to prevent heat exhaustion.
Be mindful of potential dangers like toxic plants, pesticides, and sharp objects that may pose a threat to your furkid’s well-being.

Why Should Pet Pawrents Care About Cat Skin and Fur Care?
Your cat’s skin is the first line of defense between the body and the outside world. Moist dermatitis or "hot spots" can happen when your furkiddo itches or obsessively grooms the irritated skin until the area is raw. The repeated licking or pawing breaks the skin and allows bacteria to spread, so the affected area can become inflamed and infected and can be very uncomfortable for your kitty. Excessive production of oils in the skin can be a response to irritation and can cause unpleasant odors.
How Coco Furcare - Coat Spray for Cats Supports Your Pet’s Skin and Coat.
NHV’s Coco Furcare's all-natural blend of ingredients is safe to use on a daily basis to strengthen your cat’s skin barrier against biting critters and skin irritations while encouraging hair growth and hydration. The coconut oil protects your pet’s skin, encourages healing and helps provide mild UV protection against harmful sun rays. Ingredients like cedarwood, neem, clove bud, lavender and lemongrass work as natural deodorizers against unpleasant smells caused by clogged or irritated skin and reduce dander too! Allergies, bacterial infection and yeast infection are only a few examples of conditions that can benefit from NHV’s Coco Furcare.
Tips for keeping your Cat’s Coat Healthy (with Coco Fur Care)
- Blend of ingredients can soothe skin and moisturize fur (non-greasy)
- Rosemary and coconut oil may provide mild UV protection
- Help naturally shield against biting insects like ticks, fleas, lice

Neem leaf (Azadiracha Indica)
Neem has been used in India for over two millennia for its medicinal properties. It has anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to help your furkiddo achieve the coat they've always wanted as well as aid with skin-related issues like allergies, dermatitis, hair loss, dry skin, dandruff, and skin cancer. Azadiractin - a chemical component found in neem acts as a natural shield against bug bites by interfering with their growth cycle. Too good to be true? Wait until you read about all the other amazing ingredients in Coco Furcare.
Coconut Oil
For centuries, coconut oil (which contains lauric acid and linoleic acid) has been used to improve overall skin and coat health. It can help against microorganisms and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-allergic properties that protect, moisturize and improve your pet's coat. Coconut oil also provides mild UV protection so your pet can play in the sun, have soft skin, and be protected while they're at it.
Rosemary Leaf (Rosmarinus officinalis L.)
Rosemary contains anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, and astringent properties that help your fur baby recover from skin allergies, dermatitis, promote wound healing and prevent tick bites. The antioxidants in rosemary help to reverse the negative effects of sun exposure (ie: skin cancer) as well as fight free radical damage in hair follicles. When used topically, it reduces discomfort and improves circulation.
Sodium Bicarbonate
A naturally high alkaline substance, sodium bicarbonate is known to have antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties. It gently absorbs moisture, leaving skin smelling fresh and clean while soothing irritated skin. Sodium bicarbonate also helps to rid your sweet pet of dandruff! It acts as a natural deodorizer and helps soothe irritated, burned skin caused by insect bites.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender's sweet aroma helps to relax pets (and their human guardians) while its anti-inflammatory properties can protect against flea, tick, and parasite bites. If your pet is bitten, lavender helps to reduce the discomfort and itching by reducing swelling and overall discomfort. Its antibacterial, astringent, analgesic and anti-depressive properties are especially beneficial for the prevention and treatment of skin-related issues like dermatitis or skin allergies. The antiseptic and antibacterial properties also help your furry friend recover from cuts and scrapes from an extra intense play session.
Cedarwood (Cedrus)
For centuries, Cedarwood has been used by the Egyptians and Native Americans to deter ticks, fleas, mosquitos, moths, and other harmful pests as well as being used to relieve itchy, dry skin. Its wonderfully woody, fresh scent contains antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that disinfect and destroy pathogens (both viral and fungal), leaving your pet smelling clean, fresh, and ready to go!
Clove bud (Syzgium aromaticum)
Clove is a very aromatic spice with sweet, fruity, and spicy notes that help to eliminate odors. With antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory properties, clove bud is great at soothing skin to stop your kitty from constant scratching and chronic hot spots. It helps disinfect wounds and works against fungal infections. Clove also helps with cough, respiratory issues, and allergies. In traditional medicine, it has been used to ward off fleas, ticks, and other biting insects.
Lemongrass (Citronella) (Cymbopogon)
Studies have shown that lemongrass has many medicinal properties, acting as anthelmintic (removes parasitic worms), antibacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent to make skin and coat healthier and stronger. The anti-inflammatory properties help with anxiety, discomfort reduction, and swelling, while its natural deodorizing properties keep your furkiddo looking and smelling great! Lemongrass also provides effective protection against insect bites eg. mites, mosquitoes, and ticks.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
Chamomile is one of the best antioxidants for the skin due to its anti-histaminic, anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal wounds (including those caused by fleabites), contact allergies, defend against microorganisms, and various bacterial fungal infections. It is even known to expel parasites! This plant is praised for its therapeutic benefits and wound healing properties. Its sweet, soft floral scent also helps calm your pet's nerves (as well as their human guardians).
Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)
Eucalyptus is naturally antiseptic and can help reduce inflammation of the respiratory tract so it is great support if your furry friend has bronchitis or asthma. This plant extract has been commonly used for flea prevention due to its anti-itch, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. Eucalyptus also deodorizes skin, heals wounds, smells pleasant, nourishes skin and coat, soothes skin allergies, and boosts hair growth.

Natural Support for Cat Skin Allergies and Hot Spots
What Is A Hot Spot?
A hot spot (aka moist dermatitis) is an inflamed skin lesion that may be further irritated by licking, scratching and chewing, often turning red, becoming infected, and 'hot' to the touch. Kitties are very sensitive and may have very delicate skin, so even small changes in their diet or environment can strongly affect them. The inflamed skin can be very uncomfortable for your kitty, and they may even experience fur loss.
Causes of Hot Spots on Cats
A few factors can cause hot spots in our feline friends, like food sensitivities, allergens in the environment, biting insects, and infections. Kitties with longer coats may be more susceptible to hot spots, especially when the weather is humid (like in the summer months). In most cases, hot spots are caused by allergies to the environment or something in their diet. Cat skin allergies most often develop on their paws, face, ears, front legs, and belly, but itchiness all over the body is common as well.
How NHV's Natural Cat Allergy Spray Relieves Inflamed Skin
If your kitty is licking, biting, or scratching a specific area, they may be experiencing a great level of discomfort. Ingredients like Chamomile, Marigold and Aloe vera are beneficial for soothing skin lesions, reducing swelling and easing discomfort. The immunostimulatory properties in Ouch Away help regulate a healthy histamine response to rebalance the immune system and help prevent infection. Herbs like Tea Tree oil and Lemongrass are effective topically against biting insects (fleas, mites, mosquitos and flies) and fighting infections, while ingredients like Rosemary encourage hair regrowth (recovery from alopecia).
