*Wheatgrass For Your Animals*
These suggestions should not be used in place of your vet's medical advice.
I get this question all the time, so here is the answer for your pets!!!
Household pets can nibble the grass to get roughage (absent in most prepared pet foods), so keep your wheatgrass at a safe distance. If they are chewing on it, then you can grow the wheatgrass back a second time (lost 50% of it's value, but fine for your pets) and let them chew on that. For you animal that may have a health issue, fleas, eye problems, hair loss, trouble walking, wounds, etc... here is what you can do:
Give them a little less than ½ an ounce (orally), twice a day, 30 minutes before you feed your animal. Use a bulb syringe or eye dropper to get it down.
*Caution: do not try this on a white carpet as it may tend to come right back up! =)
Do this everyday for at least five days. Stay with it as you will then see some amazing results in a very short time!!!
Also, a dropper of wheatgrass juice into your pet's mouth for illness, gum or teeth problems, urinary problems or eating problems. After you have given them the juice for the five days, then chop finely into their food for preventative, three times per week. This will help keep your animal in balance. Wheatgrass soaked bandage for sores, can be applied right to their wounds. Grow small amount in the house for cats to play with (this will take their attention away from your plants)
Wheatgrass Next to Your Bed
*These are just suggestions, not to be used as medical advice
Place a tray of growing wheatgrass by your bed and it will enhance the oxygen in the air, helping you to sleep more soundly by generating healthful negative ions into the air.
