It is far easier to brush and wash an animal with a healthy coat, than it is one with scratchy, scaly skin and mangy fur. Healthy animals will also take better care of their fur, making your job much easier. The easiest and most often used herb in flea control is garlic. Some pet owners have found success by using it externally in garlic collars and adding it to shampoos. Others have found it successful by adding it to the animals food.
Herbal capsules are readily available and easy to use.
Sprinkle or mix the contents with the animal's normal food. Remember to buy a top quality herbal product for the best results. Horsetail seems an appropriate choice for pet care. It has long been used by herbalists in Europe and China and is found in many herbal beauty products. It is rich in nutrients and aids in the absorption of calcium.
