discomfort support
A natural herbal oral supplement that aids in eliminating bad breath, gingivitis, and helps combat bacterial infections of the mouth and helps guard against tooth decay and plaque.
When our furbabies are young and healthy, it’s easy not to want to think about the future. But too many times, when our pet health deteriorates, and our vet bills skyrocket, we realize all the little things we could have done in hindsight that may have helped prevent it.
Here are 5 easy tips you can do now, to help your furbaby for tomorrow.
Pet Health Exams
Everyday while grooming or petting your dog or cat, do a quick overall exam. Here’s what you should be looking for:
- Any new bumps or growths
- Sensitive areas (does your cat or dog pull away, growl or hiss when you touch a certain place?)
- Ears – check ears for wax and clean (try NHV Echo Gold for dogs or cats for cleaning.) Here’s a video on how to clean a dog’s ears by Dr. Cook.
Pet Dental Care
Begin a dental routine as soon as possible for both cats and dogs. Brushing your pet’s teeth every day can help prevent gum disease, abscesses, and even help prevent digestive disorders. You may also want to try NHV Mouth Drops to help with gingivitis and bacterial infections.
Care for Paw Pads
Don’t walk your pet on hot cement or in extremely cold weather without booties.
This is probably one of the most overlooked areas of pet care and can cause your pet a great deal of discomfort. Don’t walk your pet on hot cement or in extremely cold weather without booties. During winter, be aware of salt or other roadway chemicals that may be on the ground. It’s an excellent idea to begin a daily routine of cleaning your pet’s paw pads and gently soothing them with NHV Heal Care Ointment.
Do Your Research
Do you know if your particular breed of dog or cat is prone to specific illnesses or diseases? Check out our blog for dog care, cat care, or see our dog and cat breeds and conditions for a list of common ailments per breed type.
Understand Your Pet’s Life Stage
By understanding where your pet is at their life stage, you can begin to look out for common conditions and illnesses and address them before they spiral out of control. Here’s a quick rundown on life stages and care:
Life Stage | Supplement Care Tips |
---|---|
Kittens/ Puppies | Deworm 2-3 times annually. Begin feeding a high-quality diet. Introduce supplements for overall nutrition like NHV Multi Essentials and NHV Turmeric. |
Young Adult | Every once in a while, start introducing different high-quality foods as treats. Contrary to popular practice, there is no reason your pet should be fed one brand and flavor of food their entire lives. You can also try introducing some superfoods like blueberries, kale, or sweet potatoes. |
Adult | Begin introducing supplements that will help with joint care and aging, like NHV Yucca and PetOmega-3. Also, be on the lookout for any symptoms of common conditions that may affect your pet in their next stage of life, like hyperthyroidism, Cushing’s, or kidney disease, and begin using supplements as preventative care. |
Senior | Get your pet checked for common senior conditions like diabetes, pancreatitis, Cushing’s, hyperthyroidism, or cancer. NHV has natural supplements for these and other common illnesses. Check with your vet if these are appropriate. Use NHV Old Timer to help with joints and help increase mobility and cognitive function. |
Old Age (Palliative care) | At this point, it’s important to watch your pet daily for any decrease in quality of life. Contact our pet experts for your pet’s specific condition, and we can make specific recommendations and provide you with personalized recipes to help with their strength and appetite. Keep them warm, comfortable, and surrounded with love. |

Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. 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 and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.

This fish oil supplement for dogs is derived from sardines, anchovies and North Atlantic cod liver oil.

Processed pet foods have increased omega-6 fatty acids, and decreased omega-3 fatty acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, "It is very important to maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. A proper balance helps maintain and even improve health." Your dog’s body cannot easily make essential fatty acids. It is vital to provide omega 3 fish oil for dogs as an added supplement to your pet’s daily diet.
The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine has published studies on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils) for arthritis and degenerative joint disease in dogs. The studies showed that dogs who were given omega 3 fatty acids had a significantly improved ability to get up from a resting position and marked improvement in walking ability.

*Hi, We have a 8 year old yellow Lab name Daisy. Our Daisy was having major problems last year with Non- cancer hematoma’s on her top gums. So I got in touch with NHV Natural Pet and they recommended ES Clear. So I tried it but didn’t think it would work. Well I have been using it for about 7 months. It really did work and Daisy gums look really healthy. I like the fact that it is holistic. My regular Vet told me a year ago that most likely Daisy had bone cancer in her top gums . I am really thankful for NHV Natural Pet people.
*Hi Rose, We’re so happy to hear that you are seeing such great results with Daisy. If there’s anything else you need from us, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Wishing Daisy all the health and happiness in the world 🙂 – Your NHV Team
