Currently the weather is extremely hot.
Aside from overheating, listlessness and gastrointestinal problems, hot temperatures often trigger skin problems or cause existing skin conditions to become even worse.
From rashes that suddenly take over most of your pet’s body to constant paw-nibbling that keeps you and your furkids awake at night and flaming red ears with constant head shaking… rising temperatures are a real challenge for irritated skin, ears and paws.
‘Heat rashes’ or ‘hot spots’ are a “summer problem” which isn’t only looking nasty but can be extremely painful, too!
Here is my choice of non-toxic sprays, ointments and paw-baths that can be highly effective to heal skin, ear and paw inflammation and relieve itching
Use these gentle, non-toxic remedies at home to help your pet
heal, feel more comfortable and look their best
▪️The vet diagnosed “fungal infection”?
Fungal infections are itchy, cause bald skin patches and smell musky (stinky ears, private parts and skin folds on head, paws and body).
For small patches and ears – Canesten ® ointment from the pharmacy. Apply a pea size dollop of ointment into cleaned (and dry) ears every 2 to 3 days. On bald, scaly skin areas twice daily. Apply before a walk to allow the ointment to penetrate the skin before your pet licks it off.
AsiaPaws Colloidal Silver Solution ® reduces fungal microorganism and helps relieve itchiness naturally. Spray on your pet’s skin or paws daily.
AsiaPaws Probiotic Spray ® supports skin healing and fights bacteria and fungi naturally. Use in between the treatment with Colloidal Silver to support skin healing.
▪️Your pet developed hot spots and bleeding rashes?
Green tea compresses calm irritated skin, are anti-cancerous and anti-inflammatory.
Vulnoplant ®, an all-natural herbal skin ointment available at AsiaPaws promotes healing of skin wounds, inflamed ears and infected anal glands.
▪️Paw nibbling that drives you and your pet crazy?
Itching of paws can be stopped by a foot bath with baking soda. Dissolve 1 cup of baking soda powder in 1 litre of water. Soak your pet’s paws for a few minutes then tap-dry with a clean towel. Enjoy a nibble-free good night’s sleep!
If your dog’s paw is red and inflamed, use green tea baths alternatively to baking soda soaks.
Added benefits for sore paws are EPSOM salt foot / paw baths that relieve inflammation and skin irritation.
