Enjoy creating treats or enhancing a meal with Natura Petz Organics Petz Kitchen Cat's Claw - which is ideal for immune and inflammation support in dogs and cats.
Why We Love It:
If you're looking for human-grade ingredients for enhancing your dog or cat's meals, Cat's Claw by Natura Petz Organics Petz Kitchen can support your pets' immune and inflammation response.
CAT'S CLAW has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the world's most important medicinal plants related to its potential benefits to help support balanced immune response and to limit excessive inflammation, making it an ideal general wellness and health-boosting addition to all life stage diets.
CAT'S CLAW contains natural plant antioxidants, sterols, oxindole alkaloids, Prebiotics and Probiotics, digestive enzymes, inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), lysophosphatidic acids (LPA), quinovic acid, glycosides, carboxyl alkyl esters, tannins, catechins, and procyanidins and is prized for its potential potent adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory actions and for its support of deep immune function which may help soothe an over-reactive immune system or help stimulate an underperforming immune system, as needed. CAT'S CLAW may help limit excessive inflammation, both of which may help play an essential role in limiting disease progression as well as conditional needs related to arthritis and muscle strain, pain, and injury.
CAT'S CLAW has been attributed with helping support native gut flora and may help address stomach disorders such as ulcers as well as conditional needs related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH), prostatitis and ulcers, colitis, dyspepsia (gas, vomiting, bloat) as well as other bowel conditions. CAT'S CLAW is also used for conditional needs related to joint inflammation and symptoms of rheumatism, pain, and swelling due to arthritis, including osteoarthritis, Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD), Osteoporosis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA due to its plant actions to help suppress inflammatory agents that can degrade cartilage, while activating a cartilage-protective biochemical, potentially helping to preserve healthy cartilage in aging joints or joints subject to other diseases.
CAT’S CLAW is a rare plant that is able to safely cross the blood-brain barrier to provide vital nutrition to the brain and as a neuro-protector, may provide cognitive support by helping remove amyloid plaque build up in the brain, may help support healthy brain ecology by helping limit excessive neuroinflammation (important for Lyme infection and aging pets); and its natural plant nutrition may help improve memory and help reduce memory impairment (important for pets with Alzheimer's, sometimes referred to as dog and cat dementia).
