With stress increasing in today’s society, whether it be from school, jobs, or just everyday life, stress in our pets is also increasing. Have you ever noticed that when you get upset about something your dog either tries to comfort you or starts acting odd? Our pets emulate our emotions, whether good or bad. A high-strung individual is much more likely to have a high-strung dog. However, some dogs and cats simply feel anxious in certain situations. The most common include trips to the vet, being left alone (separation anxiety), and thunderstorms. People now-a-days are searching for remedies for their stressed-out pups. Let me introduce Earth MD’s Calming Aid.

We developed our Calming Aid with these dogs in mind that have high anxiety, especially in certain scenarios. This supplement will not fix hyper and will not make your pet perfectly calm, but it helps them deal with symptoms of stress and anxiety. For those of you with high energy dogs, there is no better remedy for crazy hyperactive pets than exercise! Below are the ingredients in the Earth MD Calming Aid supplement and what they do to help induce a calm state.

1. For Cleaning Wounds and Skin

Keep wounds, burns, skin conditions, hotspots, ringworm (a fungal infection) and other open sores clear of bacteria and other infectious agents.

1. Eye and Ear Infections

Ear and eye infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or all of the above, which are all killed by silver nanoparticles. It is a good option when you do not know if an ear infection, for example, is caused by bacteria or by fungus.

1. Anti-inflammatory

Its anti-inflammatory abilities are not often discussed, but it has been shown in recent studies that silver can decrease inflammation and swelling, which can increase healing!

1. Cold/Flu

The great thing about Colloidal Silver is microbes take longer to develop resistance or immunity to it, unlike conventional antibiotic drugs. This means those antibiotic-resistant superbugs have nothing to defend themselves against the wrath of silver nanoparticles.

1. Respiratory and Urinary Tract Infections

These types of infections are very common in cats that use poor quality clay litters that are full of dust. The Colloidal Silver would be ingested to treat these infections to work from the inside out.

The first two ingredients, pumpkin seed and psyllium husk, are added in equal amounts. Pumpkin seed is high in soluble fibre and psyllium husk is high in insoluble fibre. Pet owners tend to use dietary supplements most commonly for diarrhea. However, most of the pet supplements out there contain primarily pumpkin, which actually helps with constipation more than diarrhea. Our Digestive Care contains both in order to deal with constipation and diarrhea at the same time. We decided to use pumpkin seed rather than pumpkin because it is much more nutrient dense, containing more minerals and fibre per serving.

One side effect of chronic diarrhea that we wanted to address is nutrient loss. When an animal has diarrhea for an extended period of time, they not only lose water. They are unable to properly absorb vitamins and minerals from their food since it is not being digested properly and often moving too quickly through the digestive tract. Because of this the body can become deficient and weak. The wheatgrass is in our Digestive Care formula in order to mitigate this. Since it is extremely nutrient dense even if the animal absorbs a small amount of the vitamins and minerals it contains it can help prevent deficiencies.

The final ingredient, burdock root, is pretty amazing on its own. Another of the issues animals come across is inflammation in the bowels when digestive problems appear. The burdock root helps with this because it is anti-inflammatory, and therefore soothes inflamed digestive tracts. Burdock root is also a good source of inulin, a prebiotic that good bacteria in the gut love to feed on. By helping the good gut flora grow you can help reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria that can cause digestive problems. This can aid in preventing digestive issues happening in the first place.

While it won’t harm a mammal, to something as small as an insect the Diatomaceous Earth is abrasive. Warning: it is also abrasive to reptiles, so do not put it on them! The DE sticks to insects that walk over it and rubs off their protective waxy coating. Once the coating has been removed, they rapidly lose all of their body moisture. The bugs literally dehydrate to death. This may seem mean, but when you have dealt with a flea infestation or bed bugs no mercy shall be had.

In order to kill bugs, simply sprinkle where the insects are found. For example, if you are trying to deal with fleas on your pet and in your house, rub DE all over your pet (not in their eyes or nose, they may cough) and sprinkle around carpets, beds, and baseboards. Make sure to get down to the skin on those long-haired breeds! DE is also an effective ant killer as well.

DE is also used for killing internal parasites, such as round worms. The DE damages the intestinal worms, causing them to die and be expelled. Simply feed a tspn or so for a week to kill internal parasites!

DE binds toxins in ingested items and in the colon while it passes through the digestive tract. The bound toxins can then pass through the body safely, before causing damage. For example, DE was used to decrease fungal toxicity in chickens [2], as well as reduce radiation poisoning in humans.

Calcium is an important mineral for bone and joint health. A study by K. R. Martin [3] showed that consuming silica leads to increased bone mineral density. This means more calcium being absorbed and deposited in bones for a stronger, healthier skeleton!
