Let’s talk Healthy Coat herb mix.

The way your dog’s coat looks can tell you a lot about their health! With the skin being the largest organ of the body, the condition can range from soft and shiny, to coarse and dull depending on the nutrients and state of health your dog is in. A dog’s coat can also be a visual aid in helping to determine if your dog has any underlying issues. Some dogs may also be affected by the season’s changing and the humidity level in the area that you live in, causing seasonal allergies or a dry, flakey coat.

If you are looking to help keep your dog's coat soft and shiny all year long or want help in keeping their seasonal allergies at bay, then Healthy Coat is the herb mix for you! Healthy Coat is a mix of seven different herbs that when combined can not only help your dog’s coat, but their overall wellbeing.

Ingredients:

1. Dandelion Root: Can be used to treat skin problems, digestive issues, and help to boost the immune system. It also benefits the liver and kidneys.
2. Nettle: Provides nutrients to the whole body. Not only is it considered an herbal antihistamine, but also helps with aiding in digestion and arthritis relief.
3. Cleavers: Supports the lymphatic system. Helps to remove excess fluids, flush out the urinary tract and kidneys, and rid the lymph nodes of toxins.
4. Burdock: Improves liver function. Helps to flush wastes in the liver and helps to eliminate toxins through the skin. Can also help with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and mange.
5. Chamomile: Can aid in calming down irritated and inflamed skin.
6. Kelp: Helps with skin allergies, dry skin, and alopecia. Also helps the skin tissues repair.
7. Calendula: Has anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Improve liver and skin conditions and help calm the nervous system.

Healthy Coat is a great mix of herbs to help keep your pups coat looking amazing year around! If you are using Healthy coat as an aid in helping with seasonal allergies, make sure to start incorporating the herbs into your dog’s diet when the seasons start to change! Each dog is different, and the herbs may take some dogs longer than others to get into their system. While herbs can be very beneficial to your dog, it is always recommended to speak to your vet if you’re concerned about adding herbs into your dog’s diet.
