One of the greatest feelings in the world is knowing you have a clean pup to go home to and snuggle with. Sure, it’s our favorite way of ending our day with a little bit of Netflix, too. While you’re lounging on the couch with your pup, you notice your dog is beginning to itch like he’s never itched before. Poor pup! With your dog scratching his fur off and temperatures getting noticeably hotter, one thing is for certain; summer is coming.

Summer is known to be the most active time for fleas and ticks. But not everyone knows that dogs can be allergic to flea saliva, which can be a huge contributor to hair loss and allergic reactions. With these pesky creatures abound, you wouldn’t want to be covered in these nasty buggers, would you? Neither would your loving companion! It’s so important to keep these unwanted pests off your pooch so he’s not scratching himself endlessly. That’s where Ark Naturals steps in.

Our Neem “Protect” Shampoo not only washes away the dirt, oil, and sebum from your pup’s coat, but most importantly it relieves itching due to fleas and ticks. Our shampoo is eco-friendly and is made of an all-natural botanical formula. The active and main ingredient that helps soothe your pup’s itchy skin is neem oil – one of nature’s best kept secrets (until now).

Our Neem “Protect” Shampoo is a non-drying and low-sudsing shampoo (formulated to be used on dogs 12 weeks and older) that will have your dog’s itchiness in control in no time. Not only will it soothe epidermis, but it will leave his coat feeling and smelling great, too!

• Wet your dog’s coat and apply a generous amount of Neem “Protect” Shampoo.
• Work the shampoo into a good lather from head to tail.
• Leave on your dog for 5 minutes.

No one likes a stomach ache. Food doesn’t always sit right with us, or for our dogs. Just like us, different foods and habits can lead our dogs to feeling bloated or uncomfortable. Although having gas and flatulence are normal, excessive digestion issues can be a problem. Fortunately, there’s ways you can help your dog have a happy tummy again! Below, we wanted to share why your dog may have digestion trouble and different ways you can help make it better.

Here are some potential reasons that your dog may have digestion issues, like gas or irregular stools:

• A high fat diet
• Hard-digesting foods in the diet
• Overeating
• Eating too quickly
• Lack of exercise
• Change in diet
• A gastrointestinal disease or virus
• A diet filled with beans, soy, milk, wheat, spices, or high-fiber

How can you help your pup that’s experiencing some tummy trouble? First, bring your dog to the vet to rule out any potentially serious conditions. From there you can begin to make changes in his daily life that will make him feel much better! Here are some things you can do to help a stomach under stress:

• Keep the fat in his diet low
• Purchase dog food with simple ingredients – if you can easily pronounce what’s in it, it should be easy for your dog to digest
• Exercise with your dog daily
• Serve smaller portions and monitor intake
• Find out if he has an allergy or sensitivity to certain meats or dairy products
• Purchase a probiotic to help your dog digest food easier. Ark Naturals sells Gentle Digest capsules and soft chews, which promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria by helping to aid digestion by breaking down food into nutrients that can be easily absorbed. Gentle Digest contains prebiotics and probiotics. Probiotics provide a source of beneficial intestinal bacteria and help to encourage their growth, whereas prebiotics help stimulate the growth and/or activity of probiotics. Gentle Digest is helpful for periodic issues with gas, flatulence, smelly and irregular stools. It also works great for senior dogs who may be stressed.

It might take some trial and error to determine the cause of the gas or stomach troubles, but it’ll be worth it when the air has cleared, and your pup is happy again!
