Protecting Pets Naturally

Did you know this? Here is why you shouldn't regularly feed wild birds. The best thing you can do is provide shrubs with berries, seeds and leaves they eat and water. You can get the same enjoyment watching them in your garden. You don't want those adult birds to fill up on junk food OR "special seed mixes" and have no room for the rest of their daily dietary requirements to produce a healthy, strong egg. Metabolic Disease is a horrible issue in young birds in urban environments. Why would you contribute to that?

New peer-reviewed study shows 100% of bird nests tested contained residues of flea and tick chemicals from pets. These chemicals were found not just in nest lining made from treated pet fur, but also in eggs and dead chicks. Researchers also observed that higher contamination levels in nests were associated with more unhatched eggs and chick mortality signals, suggesting a clear exposure pathway from pets to wild birds through nest building materials.

In simple terms, wild birds may be unintentionally exposing their embryos and chicks to pet parasite treatments.

This adds a concerning layer during a period of ongoing bird declines, but it is important to note it is not considered a primary driver. Major causes of bird population declines in Europe and North America are still habitat loss and fragmentation, insect decline and food shortages, climate change, and intensive agricultural practices.

This was inevitable when not enough thought is given to what breeds you are mixing. eg. temperaments begin to decline once you breed two first generation (F1) Cockerpoos.

Designer dog crossbreeds show more 'undesirable' behaviours, vets say The Royal Veterinary College says popular "doodle" dogs do not always behave as expected.

This spray is simple to make and you can interchange the oils. I particularly use cedarwood oil the most on Perry for ticks. His raw-fed constitution prevents fleas but every now and then I'll see a tiny tick on his face. I think they sit there trying to decide whether he tastes nice or is his blood is just too healthy to be a good lunch.
