🚨 Did you know some chemical parasite preventatives have been linked to serious liver damage in dogs?

Research shows that mebendazole, a chemical parasite preventative, can cause serious liver damage and death in some dog breeds, with Dachshunds being particularly vulnerable.

This published study reported cases of vomiting, jaundice, hemorrhagic diarrhoea, and even liver failure leading to death.

⚠️ This is a powerful reminder that chemical preventatives aren’t always as “safe” as we’re led to believe.

That’s why I’m passionate about sharing natural, holistic approaches to parasite prevention 🌿🐾.

✨ Holistic Tip for Parasite Prevention ✨
Did you know your garden can play a big role in keeping your pets parasite-free? 🌱 By planting herbs like rosemary, mint, lavender, and lemongrass, you create a natural barrier that fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes don’t like—without relying on harsh chemicals.

Not only does this keep your pets healthier, it also supports the environment 🌏💚. It’s a simple way to work with nature, not against it—and that’s what holistic pet care is all about. 🐾💫

Is full natural parasite prevention right for your pet?
Let’s be honest — natural parasite prevention isn’t for everyone. And that’s okay!
Ask yourself:
🔍 Do you live in a high-risk tick area?
🧼 Can you commit to regular tick checks?
🧥 Does your pet have a thick coat that hides ticks easily?
🌧️ Was it a wet summer? That often means a bad tick season is coming.
You might still choose a tick collar like Seresto during peak times (starting NOW in August!)— and that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s about balance and choosing what works for your pet, your lifestyle, and your peace of mind.
The key is that natural immunity can still develop, even if you're using some support tools along the way.

✨ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing a Holistic Parasite Support Protocol soon!

How can you transition your pet off chemical parasite preventatives? 🐶🌱
You don’t need to go cold turkey. In fact, I don’t recommend it — especially if you live in a high-risk tick area.
Here’s a safer, more balanced approach:
1. ✅ Start building gut and immune health NOW (even if still using chemicals)
2. 🧼 Reduce toxic load where you can — diet, water, flea sprays, plastics, etc.
3. 💉 Do a titre test instead of repeat vaccinations
4. 🐾 Begin Tick Drops 2+ weeks before stopping chemical preventatives
5. 🧴 Use Shield Skin and Coat Spray daily in tick season
6. 👀 Daily tick checks — especially during warmer months
Your goal? A pet who doesn’t need to rely on constant chemicals to stay well.
Ultimately - a pet who is immune to the paralysis tick toxin.

Did you know that 70–80% of your pet’s immune system lives in their gut?
When the gut is inflamed or out of balance (aka dysbiosis), your pet becomes more vulnerable — not just to parasites, but also to:
🔁 Itchy skin
🔁 Recurrent ear infections
🔁 Allergies
🔁 Autoimmune issues
🔁 Behavioural changes
Healing starts with the gut. That’s why one of the most powerful things you can do is nourish and rebalance the microbiome.
🌿 My go-to supports?
Restore Digestion Tonic – wild-fermented and gut-loving
Nourish Pet Tea – soothing, detoxifying, biofilm-busting
✨Together, they help create an internal environment where parasites (and disease) can’t thrive.

How do parasites pick their hosts? 🤔
Parasites don’t just jump on any animal — they’re opportunists.
They’re drawn to weaker hosts: the ones with sluggish immune systems, inflamed guts, and poor detox pathways.
In a herd, it’s always the weakest few who carry the highest parasite burden. So what makes a pet "weak" in the eyes of a parasite?
🛑 Over-vaccination
🍽️ Highly processed food
☣️ Toxic overload (flea meds, household chemicals, plastic bowls...)
😰 Chronic stress
💡 The good news? You can flip the script and make your pet a less attractive host.
Stay tuned… I’ll share how in the next post 💚

🦟✨ Natural Parasite Prevention: What Vets Aren’t Talking About... ✨🦟

Parasite prevention has become a booming business — but at what cost to your pet's long-term health?

Most pets today are over-vaccinated, fed ultra-processed food, and exposed to a cocktail of toxins. Their immune systems and gut health are under strain — and that’s exactly what parasites love. 🐛

💡 In nature, weaker animals carry more parasites. Wildlife develops natural immunity to ticks — and tick antiserum is even made from dogs who’ve become resistant to the paralysis tick toxin!

So, what if we shifted focus from chemical suppression to building natural resilience?

🌿 By feeding species-appropriate diets, supporting gut health, reducing toxic load, and making mindful choices around vaccinations, we can raise pets with robust immune systems that are less attractive hosts to parasites.

Yes, natural prevention is possible — but it’s not for everyone. In high-risk areas or during peak seasons, adding a tick collar like Seresto may be wise, especially if you’re unable to check your pet daily.

✨ It’s not about fear — it’s about balance, education, and making empowered choices.

👉 Stay tuned for more guidance on how to prevent parasites naturally!

Did you know that many common issues like itchy skin, allergies, immune problems, and even behaviour changes in dogs and cats often start in the gut?

About 70–80% of your pet’s immune system lives in their gut, where trillions of friendly bacteria help regulate inflammation, fight infections, and communicate with the brain. When the gut lining is damaged or the microbiome is out of balance, toxins and allergens can leak into the bloodstream — triggering chronic inflammation, itchy skin, allergies, and immune overreactions.

Gut health also influences mood and behaviour through the gut-brain axis. Poor gut balance can contribute to anxiety, stress, and behavioural changes by disrupting neurotransmitter production.

If your pet struggles with chronic skin issues, allergies, digestive upset, or puzzling behaviour, supporting their gut could be the key to lasting relief.

🌿 Dr Nat’s Restore Digestion Tonic and Nourish Pet Tea are a great place to start for natural gut support. These herbal, wild-fermented blends help soothe, rebalance, and nourish your pet’s digestive system — promoting whole-body health from the inside out.
