Clay can be an important mineral supplement for dogs and cats. Clay is rich in copper, an important trace element that can contribute to good pigmentation of the fur, skin and eyes in the body. Dogs or cats with sensitive metabolism and digestion can also benefit from adding clay to their food.
Clay can be combined very well with various herbs: For example, the clay-herb mixture from our BARF shop contains nettle, watercress, parsley and pumpkin seeds, which, together with the clay, can support the physiological organ functions and metabolic processes in dogs and cats even in small quantities. Clay is said to help dogs with heartburn, flatulence, diarrhea, eating feces and general hyperacidity: in the case of heartburn, for example, clay can bind excess stomach acid. Since clay is also able to absorb a lot of water, it is a popular home remedy for relieving symptoms in dogs and cats with diarrhea .
Nevertheless, you should be careful that the animal does not consume too much clay - because while its ability to bind fluids can be a valuable aid in cases of diarrhea, excessive amounts may lead to constipation and hard stools in healthy animals.
