Collagen is a building block of life and the most abundant protein in the body. Your dog’s joints, ligaments, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues are made from this protein. About 30% of the total protein in a dog’s body is collagen!

Propolis Extract is a unique gift from nature for your everyday health, immune support and general wellbeing. Propolis is an amazing healing compound made by bees its medicinal properties have been known to humans since ancient times.

In the wild, dogs evolved eating the meat, bones and offal of kill or dead animals. Part of this was eating the stomach contents and faeces of herbivores. 

During the warmer months, some horses develop signs of respiratory irritation such as a runny nose, snorting, sneezing, or persistent “snuffling.” When these symptoms occur without infection or fever, they often resemble hay fever in humans rather than illness.

Australia has experienced some of the worst forest and bush fires on record in the last ten years. As a result the skies can be filled with smoke, ash, dust and debris. Our animals tend to live, or spend more time outdoors, and may not have any respite from the poor quality air. 

How healthy we are in relationship to our world is very much reflected in the attention we give our horses and environment.  A lack of “right relationship” results in countless horses (earthly resources) used up from competition or racing and then discarded to the Dark Side of the horse industry- the sale yards and a destination unknown.

From a health stance, the food that we eat should be nutritious enough to ensure a healthy body and should also be pleasurable to partake in. This ensures we are taking care of our physical and spiritual needs.

Modern research now places the gut microbiome at the centre of metabolic, inflammatory, and immune-driven conditions, both in humans and animals. 
In horses, the interaction between diet, forage quality, soil microbiology, gut integrity, and microbial diversity is increasingly recognised as a foundational determinant of long-term soundness and metabolic resilience in horses. 

Flea bite allergy is one of the most common skin sensitivities seen in cats. It tends to be seasonal, becoming more severe during the warmer months of summer and autumn when flea populations are at their peak. For cats that are hypersensitive to flea saliva, even a single flea bite can trigger intense itching that lasts for hours or even days.

Some head-shaking behaviour in horses is normal. Trigeminal-mediated head-shaking is a little-understood neuropathic facial condition of the horse. 

The condition of a horse's hair and coat is a telling sign of his general level of health; a dull coat is indicative that a horse is not in it's best physical or mental condition. In itself, the dull coat only says that the vitality is lower than normal due to metabolic imbalance, digestive efficiency or a toxic load.
