Hunting tips for forest lovers
Comedian/Comedian Pierre Doris said: “Advice of a hunter: to hunt rabbits, stand behind a tree and imitate the cry of the carrot!”. We tried for hours on the hunt but nothing and nothing. What did we catch? A cold, loss of voice and blisters on his feet. Obviously, we are better at selling veterinary products than at hunts.
So let's talk about the area we master. This article reveals our selection to accompany you in this new hunting season.
Vitality: May the force be with Roxy
Who says “Hunting” or even “walking in the forest” says vitality at the top. Indeed, it is important that your partner is well prepared to approach this sporting season. The goal is not to boost him like a cyclist but to help him keep the tone and dynamism to run after Obélix's best friend, the boar. We prepare the performance, and we help it to recover.
A vitamin cocktail
Our selection begins with the Tonivit from the TVM laboratory which is nothing but a complementary food, a real canine cocktail. Mix vitamins, trace elements and essential amino acids to give your four-legged friend a makeover. This will help him during prolonged efforts in the undergrowth.
The rest of the warrior
Last weekend you tried rhythmic gymnastics with your equine in the Olympic pool, in other words you did aqua-pony and you still haven't recovered? Know that it also happens to animals. We are not talking in this case of body aches but of joint pain. Roxy did a good job, she didn't let you down when the 12 horns shot out in front of her, now you have to give her back the device. Vetoform Joints from the Dazont laboratory can be used in case of aging but also in joint stiffness and pain due to prolonged efforts during last weekend's court hunt.
Need a little helping hand for the hunt?
You have to have a good foot and a good eye to run after Poupi the rabbit or even Dédé the deer. A tip to take care of his little pads. Two solutions for this:
- One softens the foot pads to prevent irritation, cuts and acts on cracks it is called Plantar pads balm from the Beaphar laboratory.
- The other hardens and protects the pads for dogs with high activity, it responds to the sweet name of Randopatt – Biocanina
With that, if he can't walk on the animal beds, there's a problem.

Hail Pumbaa! Those who are going to hunt you greet you
You are aware that the expression “to be friends as pigs” is not at all suitable for the relationship between packs and boars. They seem to have a certain character. like your mother-in-law. They do not hesitate to charge to escape brambles or to protect their boars. Unfortunately, Bianca, Bianco, Biancu, Biancou, Biancon and Bianci, your faithful truffles wise for hunting are in his path and turn into CVNI (Unidentified Flying Dogs). Now we have to repair the damage.
A wise hunter is worth two. We do not invite you to improvise yourself as a surgeon for a day, consultation with a veterinarian is essential in the event of major injuries. In other cases and in order to help Lucky, here are some essential accessories:

Ah bah It's clean!
Well someone has to tell you, it can be useful to pass your dog to the Kärcher when he returns from his sporty walk in the forest. Be careful, don't get me wrong, the use of this expression has no connection with a political outing of a former Minister of the Interior who has become President. Admittedly, Roxy's hygiene and odors leave something to be desired. We like it a lot but even more when it is clean:
- If the smell makes you sick to your stomach: Organic anti-odor shampoo
- Wrap it in a cloud of sweetness: Derma Clean
- It scratches your best four-legged friend: Anti-itch Shampoo
A little water, some elbow grease, a good dose of shampoo and she can get on the couch again. Without wanting to interfere in your private life, the shower is not just for dogs...
We hope that these few elements will help you to understand the weekends to come. Take care of yourself and your loyal partners, they return it to you.
