Today
we will focus on recipes and tips for Fido. As faithful friends, dogs bring
affection, pure joy and loyalty into our lives. Most breeds thrive in the
outdoors, running and playing in the freedom of nature. In fact, dogs will
naturally purge their system in the wilderness, carefully choosing specific
plants their systems need, such as blackberries, raw carrots, etc. Now a
domestic animal, most dogs have lost this natural instinct, and are becoming
less resistant to illness in general.
Dogs have a predictable set of physical ailments that may occur during their
life span.
Pour
the following essential oils into a 25-ml bottle and fill with Calendula oil.
Apply to afflicted area.
