The Pet Report

We care deeply for our pets, and over the past few years we have seen an increase in the holistic health practices used for our furred or feather friends. Kombucha tea is a powerful antioxidant and nutritional food that can increase your pets energy and aid in wellness.

One of the conditions that dogs can experience is called hot spots. This is annoying and painful for your dog. Kombucha has been used on these bald spots on dogs to soothe and promote healthy tissue.

If your dog has growths, something that has become more common in recent years, it is likely a fatty tumor, harmless but worry some nonetheless. Your vet can perform a simple test to withdraw a little fluid from the growth to verify that it is truly just fat, and may suggest leaving it unless it interferes with movement. You can give your dog a detoxification tonic of one teaspoon of Kombucha in their drinking water to aid in reducing fat and improving overall health.

Most animals age much faster than people, and we must watch as they transition from healthy and active to slower movement. Kombucha tea was carried by Japanese soldiers as an elixir to give energy in battle. You can give your pet Kombucha in their drinking water, or directly in the mouth using a dropper. This gives them an energy kick and a nutritional boost.

Skin irritation can be found during the flea season, and many dogs scratch and bite themselves to diminish the effects. You can use a mix of Kombucha and water in a spray bottle, mist your pet, and work this solution into the fur and down to the skin. Kombucha makes a wonderful skin and hair tonic!

You can enhance your animals digestive process by adding a little Kombucha to their food as well, giving the digestive tract the support it needs. Antibiotics, the candy of the prescription world, destroys natural healthy intestinal flora. Kombucha supports health and wellness, and aids our natural digestive bacteria.

Skin and coat give a window to the internal health of our animals. The qualities of Kombucha support our healthy internal and external flora, and have been used around the world for both human wellness as well as healthy lifestock and pets.

Both you and your pet can benefit from the addition of Kombucha to your diets. Give it a try, it’s easy to grow your own Kombucha, or find in your local health food store. Kombucha tea, the natural, nutritional mushroom.
