Hi <<First Name>>,
|
Soil. It's probably not something you think about very often, right?
|
Nature News
|
We certainly haven’t. But when you learn that after oceans, soil is the second largest natural carbon sink, surpassing forests and other vegetation in its capacity to capture carbon dioxide from the air, not to mention the fact it is, in effect, our life support system, soil becomes pretty darn important.

Healthy soils are vital, not just for our food production but also for our efforts to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Climate change has a major impact on soil, and changes in land use and soil can either accelerate or slow down climate change. Without healthier soils and sustainable land and soil management, we cannot tackle the climate crisis, produce enough food or adapt to a changing climate.
|
|
Deteriorating soil health is already gravely impacting lives and livelihoods. Land degradation due to human activities costs around 10% of global gross product. When combined with climate change effects, soil degradation could reduce crop yields by 10% globally by 2050.
|
So is there anything we can do? Fortunately, yes. There are many ways in which average citizens or entire business industries can help conserve and protect soil. From forest protection to crop rotation and from planting windbreak areas to adding earthworms to your soil to enhance its health, the goal is to reduce erosion and to ensure the soil’s continued fertility. And this article discussing 25+ Remarkable Ways to Conserve and Protect Soil Fertility is well worth a read.
|
Just something to think about... Soil could be our saviour.

War On Worms
|
Speaking of worms... we're fast approaching worming season and now is the time to plan ahead so that you've everything in place to help your customers with any worm or de-worming questions that they may have.
|
Veterinary advice is that animals are wormed on a regular cycle of every 90 to 180 days, dependant upon region, season and worm load, and spring and autumn time are the two most important worming 'seasons'. But how do you know if an animal has worms?
|
In our latest article in the HomeoPet Natural Pet Care Center, we explain the most common symptoms of worms so that pet parents can be proactive in their treatment. We also have several other articles that you and your customers may find useful, including detailed information on natural worm control for dogs, cats, and horses.
|
We also answer a question that is commonly posed to our customer care team - when should you use WRM Clear? WRM Clear is a natural medicine from nature that contains no chemical wormer products and can aid in and support the removal of many types of worms that typically infect our animals. Read on to find out more...

Bunny Bliss
|
We recently had a lovely email from one of our fabulous customers – Lynn - in the UK and we’re so touched that we’d love to share it with you.
|
"I don't know if you will get this message but I just wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for the products you make which have proved invaluable to us.
|
We have a small rabbit rescue here in the UK and take in little bunnies who have been found injured or in bad circumstances and as you can imagine they require a lot of care and veterinary attention. The bladder health treatment of yours has completely transformed the quality of life of two of our bunnies who were constantly having problems with urinary infections, needing antibiotics and regular bathing. There has been no need for any of that since using your product.
|
The most startling though is one of our bunnies who was found badly injured as a stray. He was on painkiller for a long time due to stiffness and poorly joints. As you know, long term painkiller usage brings its own issues, however since giving him your joint stress treatment he hasn't needed any pain killer and is even jumping as high as our sofa again, something he hadn't done in years. Six months using your treatment on a regular basis and he hasn't needed painkiller. He's like a spring chicken!
|
We have recommended all of your treatments at our vets and they are impressed with the remarkable results we have had using them. We have a great big box of the full complement of your products for joints, bladder, digestive, skin care &healing cream and all 9 of our bunnies have benefitted from them.
|
I just wanted to say when I saw your email pop up, a big thank you and keep up the fantastic work."

HomeoPet – Natural Pet Care For 26 Years
|
Tom Farrington MRCVS., MVB., VetMFHom - recognized many years ago the increasing demand for alternative "chemical free" treatments for common conditions that, while not life-threatening, cause suffering in animals. Previous ways of treating such conditions were with expensive and often harmful drugs that had significant unwanted side effects. In 1990 Tom enrolled his brother Daniel to see if there might be a market for a safe, naturally based therapy for animals. After several years of research, in 1994 Tom's vast knowledge of animal health, veterinary medicine, homeopathy and natural pet care became available outside his clinic, when his brother Daniel founded HomeoPet and launched a range of natural medicines for animals. We have been helping pet owners and animal lovers around the world find a more natural route to pet health ever since.
