If you’re a pet owner, you want them to be safe, healthy, and happy. And that means being aware of their environment.
Pets are sensitive by nature; their environment can have a profound effect on their behavior and level of anxiety. Fortunately, pets respond quickly to positive environmental changes.
Here are some tips that will balance the elements in your home environment to create a stress-free zone where your furry friends will thrive.
Electromagnetic energy enters your home from sewers, storm drains, wireless Internet, wireless remote meter readers as well as underground streams. To counterbalance this influence, and neutralize “electro-smog,” use a Himalayan salt lamp in any room where your pet sleeps. If it’s in your bedroom, turn the lamp on during the day and off at night if the light disturbs your sleep.
Make sure you have plenty of fresh air, and if you live in an area with poor air quality, consider purchasing an air purifier. Replace your air filters in your home regularly. Vacuum floors and dust surfaces to remove dust and allergens. If you have pets that shed, you may need to do this often.
African violets as well as Money Tree and Spider plants are safe for pets and also create healthy indoor air quality. For those of you who don’t possess a green thumb, try the Cast-Iron Plant.
Change your pet’s water twice a day because water absorbs many airborne toxins. Make sure to give your pet purified water rather than tap water, which can contain bacteria and chemicals that aggravate a variety of sensitivities.
Make sure that you give your pets pesticide-free food by checking labels and researching ingredients. Pet food manufactures don’t always have the best interest of your four-legged friends in mind, so be on the lookout for questionable ingredients and preservatives in pet foods that can adversely affect your pet’s health. The bottom line: digestive health is key to your pet’s overall health. Avoid giving chocolate, raisins, grapes, avocadoes, alcohol, and caffeine to your pets because these foods are known to be toxic.
We have personally followed these tips over the years with our own pets. Clean, pure water and air, nutritious food, and an indoor environment with the right energy balance will help your furry companions live long, healthy lives.
