Natural Relief for Diarrhea and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
In the journey of your life together with your partner is a third little someone. Your furbaby! From your vacation plans to your grocery list, everything you two do revolves around your kid with paws.
Let’s make vacations, work trips, and time away from home stress-free for the entire family. If you are the main caregiver to your furbaby, you naturally would be worried about everything your furkid’s needs, as well as wanting to make sure your partner has everything required to deal with your time away.
This five-step guide for pet moms (and their partners) comes to the rescue when dads are left in charge of the furkids.
Look at the bright side! These moments the furkids spend with their dad are going to strengthen their bond more than ever. Maybe dad will start enjoying the extra pet chores you hand him and you’ll come home to a new and improved household arrangement 😉
Just like parents prepare for their tiny humans when one of them is going away, these pet parenting situations also involve similar pre-planning. Start with preparing him for daily needs. Meals, pee, poop, walkies, playtime, medicines.. these are things that their dad can handle very well if you include him in your routine in ordinary times. Help each other take care of the pets in the house. This also helps the furkid accept your partner as someone she can trust and love – someone who gives food, takes her for walkies, cleans the litter box, etc.
If your partner has a very busy work routine and would need help getting reminders when you are away, then good ‘ol sticky notes and phone reminders work the best.
Organize everything that your husband may need by placing labels and dividing portions.
Organize everything that your husband may need by placing labels and dividing portions. But remember, how much ever you may prepare, things don’t always go as planned. A pet mom tells us about this one time she spent an entire evening preparing her pet’s meal for the week ahead only to find out that it was lovingly enjoyed by her husband and their pupper was fed kibble 🙂 So just a heads up, you too might have a laughable story to tell!
You can place their medicines in a pill organizer. Place a label on your pet’s NHV supplement that mentions the dosage. If your pet is getting multiple NHV supplements you may pre-mix the doses for each time in a small jar. This way all your guy has to do is use up a jar in each meal. It will help if you start practicing this at least a month before. Especially if one of the pets is a mommy’s darling and won’t let anyone but mommy give her the doses. NHV Pet Experts are always there to help pet dads go about NHV doses while you are away.
Complete your pet’s information on your NHV Account so that your pet experts have the latest updates about your furkid. This way we won’t have to hassle pet dad with any urgent order information. It also helps us be prepared to help pet dad with any out-of-the-blue situation when you are away.
Most likely you and your partner are already doing this together. But just because it’s going to be only one of you looking after the pet for some time, just make sure you do a final check-in before leaving.
Equip your phone with useful apps like Pet First Aid by American Red Cross, Dog Buddy (is for both dogs and cats), and Tractive Dog Walk.
Account for separation anxiety (no, we don’t mean in the dads. Or do we?) To help pets with separation anxiety and restlessness, start administering doses of NHV Matricalm for cats or NHV lesstress for dogs a month in advance too. Your husband can safely double the doses during the days when you are actually away. These natural anxiety supplements for pets are safe and gentle and will help make the time away from mommy more comfortable and enjoyable. Also consider leaving objects that smell like you accessible – your cap, your stole, or your jacket. It helps your pet feel secure.
Account for any immediate needs
Toughie pet dads become big softies when your pet shows them her big sulky eyes. They can get her some generous servings of foods and treats leading to tummy upset and diarrhea. We also often hear stories like ‘our dog is allergic to chicken but I was away and he got into the cat’s food. Now he’s got itchy skin everywhere. Here are some NHV products you may want to leave handy for their dad:
Plantaeris – natural remedy for diarrhea and GI upset
Yucca – natural discomfort reliever and anti-inflammatory. It can help with discomfort and low appetite too.
Ouch Away Spray – helps reduce skin inflammation and itchiness
Coco Furcare Spray – helps protect against ticks, flea, and bugs besides keeping the coat clean and fresh
They are doting fathers and they are secretly head over heels in love with their pets. They just don’t express it the way you do. They too want you to be happy and stress-free when on vacation. So prepare them and then let them have a good time with the furkids. Send lots of happy pictures every day and bring home awesome souvenirs for your man and your little ones.
Here’s to loving pet dads everywhere. The superheroes who always come to the rescue. *Clink*

Yucca for dogs is an all-natural supplement that can be helpful in many circumstances by providing symptom relief related to inflammation, discomfort, and loss of appetite.
Yucca for dogs is an all-natural supplement that can be helpful in many circumstances by providing symptom relief related to inflammation, discomfort, and loss of appetite.
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.
Yucca for dogs is commonly used for supporting arthritis, as an anti-inflammatory, nutritive, antitumor, and digestive. Yucca for dogs is considered a nutritive herb because it is rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.

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).
