As more and more pet parents look for natural products for their pets, holistic products have become increasingly popular. But what exactly is a holistic product? “What makes a product itself holistic is the combination of therapies within that product. So if we look at a product which helps to solve a physical ailment such as dirty ears or yeast, but also relieves the discomfort of itchiness and inflammation, while bringing a calmer disposition as can happen with the use of aromatherapy, we will see all of those pieces combine to decrease stress levels and help to bring the whole body into balance,” explains Elyse Horvath, owner of Natural Paws. Here is a list of 12 holistic dog products you can feel good about using on your dog.
