Silver Shield to the Rescue!

Silver Shield is a multi-purpose colloidal silver supplement that is our go-to for so many health needs for our pets and ourselves, too. Every pet owner should have Silver Shield in their medicine or first aid kit. It can be used to aid in the healing of a myriad of ailments for your cat and dog -  skin infections, kennel cough, staph infections, digestive upset, ear infections, and eye infections, just to name a few.

We're fans of Nature's Sunshine product line as they offer Silver Shield in both a gel and liquid form that can be used both externally and internally, depending on the situation. Cats are notorious for not being fans of taking supplements so the liquid form can be mixed with food or put in a dropper to squirt right in their mouth.  The gel form is also excellent to be used as an ointment, you can even add lavender essential oil to help wounds heal a little faster. I have used Silver Shield myself in place of antibiotics for my own cat after dental cleanings.

Do I Look Blue to You?

For many years, colloidal silver got a bad rap when it was rumored to turn your skin blue. Nature's Sunshine products are true EPA-approved colloidal silver products versus the ionic silver some products use that reacts with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. It is with this ionic silver that this "blue" reaction can occur. Colloidal silver is safe for both people and pets.

Are You Thirsty?

Silver Shield in its liquid form has a very similar consistency and texture as water. When I want to give my pet's immune system a boost, I'll actually just take a cap full of liquid Silver Shield and put it in their water bowls. Or I'll pour it right on top of my cat's food if I feel like there is an issue with a virus. Currently, one of my cat's has an inflamed gum so I add the Silver Shield to his water so he's getting a dose on a daily basis.
