Holistic Pet Care

So, without Peter, could we discuss clay anyway?

There is a yahoo group (AboutClay) that has been helpful but the
majority of the info and health problems pertain to people. I'm
interested in pet and livestock usage. I get very frustrated very
fast on my slow dial-up trying to research anything.

It would seem that clay could fill a gap in my do-no-harm remedies.
I'm put off by claims from people who sell any product. I want info
from people who use it - hows and whys.

I'm currently using it in a water bowl that serves 3 cats and 3 dogs.
They have other sources for water and free-choice EIS. At first, they
didn't drink the clay water but now they do. I'm not sure how much
benefit they get from it. The clay settles to the bottom but may be
adding valuable minerals to the water. I re-stir it occasionally and
the water stays VERY clean, as does the container. If I let the water
get low, they will lick the clay off the bottom.

I don't have any qualms about using something the animals will
voluntarily consume or where dosage isn't critical. I'm always
hesitant with anything I have to hide. I wanted to use it for my
horses last winter but it would have to go on their feed. They'd have
no choice about consuming it. It might be extremely beneficial by
providing minerals, general detox, digestive health, etc. All 4
horses are old and/or disabled, so I'm just trying to prevent
problems. I'm not treating anything in particular. I haven't been
able to find any specific info about livestock usage.

I do have one personal human success story to share if anyone is
interested. It could pertain to animal treatment.
