FOR the majority of us who own them, pets are considered part of our family, and their health is usually a top priority.
But most of us have never thought about the importance of detoxification for our animals.
In fact, 97% of the people responding to a survey - recently conducted in conjunction with OxyPet - had never even considered it.
And most of us do not consider that our animals can play a contributing factor to the level of toxicity in our environment and the degradation of our soils.
These are soils which, in addition to being left bare, are being bombarded with damaging fertilisers, pesticides and polluted water. For example, it is recommended that a horse be stabled for at least three days following the use of chemical wormers such as ivermectin.
This is because the drugs can be harmful to aquatic life and some are poisonous enough to kill a dog. They can create inflammation giving rise to pain and ill health in our animals.
The figures speak for themselves with one in every two pets being diagnosed with cancer and/ or other chronic health issues and one in 10 horses every year is euthanised due to laminitis - a condition affecting the feet caused by toxicity.
Ensuring that our animals remain well in a toxic world is increasingly challenging. Toxicity - being the major cause of disease and illness - is one of the biggest health problems both we humans and our animals face.
