 DEEP PUNCTURE WOUNDS AND SERIOUS INJURIES MUST ALWAYS BE TREATED WITH A TETANUS TOXIOD INJECTION

Aloe Vera is a plant possessing recognized healing and medicinal properties and contains many essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and a detoxifier and is also both viricidal and fungicidal. Aloe can penetrate several layers of tissue, carrying its healing properties to cellular level. It can enable better absorption of nutrients and is able to strengthen the immune system.

Aloe Vera acts as a coagulant to help with bleeding, prevents swelling, is bacteriostatic and debrides dead tissue, which accompanies pussing and inflammation. It reduces scarring by allowing oxygen to the affected area and helps to minimize proud flesh. Aloe Vera has the ability to break down impacted material in the bowel and has proved beneficial for digestive problems.

Aloe Gel applied to diet will generally result in a brighter, happier dog with improvement in coat – ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ is how many owners describe it.

With an animal there is no placebo effect!

For the maximum benefits Aloe Vera Gelly and Aloe Propolis Creme should be applied 4 times daily

Aloe Vera should be seen as complementary to veterinary care and is not recommended as an exclusive replacement for professional treatment. We strongly recommend that you consult your veterinary surgeon prior to administering any medication
