Bites and Stings Powder - Pet Botanicals

Bites and stings from insects or other animals can be a painful experience for our beloved pets. There are natural remedies you can use to help alleviate discomfort. One such remedy is the application of a baking soda paste. Mixing baking soda with water to create a paste can help reduce the itching and inflammation associated with bites and stings. Gently apply the paste to the affected area and allow it to dry before gently washing it off.

Another natural treatment for bites and stings is the use of aloe vera gel. Aloe vera has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve pain and irritation. You can apply a small amount of pure aloe vera gel to the affected area to promote healing and reduce swelling. Just make sure the gel you use is free from added chemicals or fragrances that could irritate your pet's skin.

To prevent future bites and stings, consider using natural repellents like neem oil, which is effective against various insects. Neem oil can be diluted with a carrier oil and applied to your pet's fur, especially in areas where they are most vulnerable to bites. Additionally, maintaining a clean and well-groomed coat can help reduce the risk of insect bites and stings. While these natural remedies can provide some relief, it's important to consult with a veterinarian to address any potential allergic reactions or underlying health concerns resulting from bites or stings in your pet.

Our Herbal Naturopath has formulated a special powder that can be made into a paste and placed on your pets bite/sting or sprinkled on to help ease the pain.  

How to make and apply paste

If you are wanting to make a paste - put 1 tsp of powder in a bowl and add melted coconut oil/linseed oil/olive oil.  Made a thick paste then apply to affected area.  I would recommend putting a bandage over the paste so your furry buddy wont lick it off.

Ingredients: Plantain, Slippery Elm, Marshmallow, Calendula, Mullein
