🌹 Roses: The Perfect Cooling Herb for Summer Pet Care

Roses aren’t just beautiful, they’re also a powerful, gentle herb for your pets during the hot summer months. Known for their cooling and calming properties, roses can help:

✨ Soothe irritated skin
✨ Support liver health
✨ Balance hormones
✨ Act as a gentle tonic for the heart, both physically and emotionally

Roses are especially helpful for pets experiencing grief or emotional stress, making them a lovely choice for holistic heart care. 💗

You can use dried rose petals on their own, or combine them with Linden and Lemon Balm to create a calming, cooling infusion.

🌿 Dr. Kim’s Herbal Tea Instructions:
Use 1–2 teaspoons of organic dried rose petals per 8 oz of boiling water
Cover and steep for 15 minutes
Strain with a stainless steel strainer and compost the herbs

🫖 Suggested Dose:
Give 1/4 cup per 20 lbs of body weight daily, divided into two doses.

A simple, soothing way to support your pet’s body and spirit this summer. 🌞

🎆 Holistic Tips for Anxious Pets on the 4th of July 🎆
Fireworks can be incredibly stressful for our animals, but with a little preparation and support, you can help your pets stay safe and calm.

🐾 Keep all pets indoors.
Fireworks can cause panic, even in animals that usually seem unfazed. Please bring indoor-outdoor cats inside by early afternoon, and do not leave dogs in the backyard, as frightened dogs often escape in search of safety.

🎶 Use calming music.
Play classical or harp music in the late afternoon and into the evening. These soothing frequencies can help create a peaceful atmosphere for both cats and dogs.

🌬️ Try a noise machine.
Just like for babies, white noise can help drown out background sounds. Running a noise machine near your pet’s safe space can muffle firework booms and reduce anxiety.

💊 Don’t be afraid to use medications when needed.
If your pet has a history of intense fear or the holistic methods aren’t enough, talk to your vet about options:

Sileo® – FDA-approved for noise aversion in dogs
Trazodone – for calming both dogs and cats
Gabapentin – great for anxious cats

These are safe, commonly used medications that can make a huge difference for your pet’s wellbeing.

🧡 You know your animal best. The goal isn’t to tough it out, it’s to help them feel safe and supported during a stressful night. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for guidance.

Wishing you and your furry companions a peaceful, safe holiday!

💧 Keep Your Pet Hydrated This Summer with Bone Broth Ice Cubes!

As the temperatures climb, hydration is key to keeping your pets healthy and comfortable. Bone broth ice cubes are a simple, nourishing way to encourage more fluid intake, plus, they make a refreshing summer treat!

Why Bone Broth?
Rich in minerals and collagen, bone broth supports your pet’s joints, digestion, and immune health. Frozen into cubes, it becomes a cooling and hydrating boost on hot days. 🐾

How to Make Bone Broth Ice Cubes:
+ Prepare a pet-safe bone broth (no onions, garlic, or added salt).
+ Let it cool completely.
+ Pour into silicone ice cube trays.
+ Freeze until solid.

Serve as a treat or drop into your pet’s water bowl.

🥕🍉 Cool, Crunchy, and Packed with Benefits!

If your pet loves fruits and veggies, turn them into healthy summer treats! Many fresh produce options are naturally cooling and full of antioxidants and micronutrients that support immune health and protect against cancer and autoimmune disease.

🌿 Great options for summer include:
Watermelon, cucumber, spinach, kiwi, orange, apples, blueberries, and bananas.

These nutrient-dense snacks don’t just taste great—they help your furry friend stay cool, hydrated, and glowing with vitality all summer long. 🐾💚
