Herbs for dogs Phytoforce, an Irish producer of herbal medicine for pets, has developed a soothing tonic for the sensitive digestive system of dogs. The multi-action herbal tonic “Phytoforce Digestion” with its mild bitter action promotes healthy digestion, the company says. “Phytoforce Digestion” includes some gentle calming herbs, as stress often plays a role in digestive upsets. Cooling herbs should clear the internal heat that can cause red sore gums and bad breath, according to the company. Suitable for dogs who suffer regularly from loose stools, bloating or vomiting, it should also help those that eat grass, their own droppings or have poor appetites. www.phytoforce.ieFor big cats “Master Cat” is the new product range from the French company Zolux for big cats such as the Maine Coon.

Each item should satisfy the pet and blend well into the home. www.zolux.comZebra-patterned leashes The newly formed company Nandog of the USA offers retractable leashes as well as waste bag holders and a line of treats under the name “Woof-a-Licious 100 % Natural Barkin Biscuits”.
