Neem, scientifically known as Azadirachta indica, offers numerous benefits for pets. This versatile plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and is gaining recognition for its potential in the pet industry, here are some key benefits of neem for pets:

The Role of Neem

• Natural Flea and Tick Control: Neem is a powerful natural insect repellent. It helps repel and control fleas, ticks, and other parasites that can infest pets. Regular use of neem-based products can help protect pets from these pesky parasites.

• Skin and Coat Health: Neem has soothing and moisturising properties, making it beneficial for pets with skin conditions like itching, allergies, or dryness. Neem based products can help alleviate these issues, promoting a healthy and shiny coat.

• Antifungal and Antibacterial Effects: Neem contains compounds that possess antifungal and antibacterial properties. It can help combat fungal infections like ringworm and yeast infections, as well as bacterial infections that may affect the skin or ears of pets.

  

• Immune System Support: Neem supports the immune system of pets. It contains antioxidants that help strengthen the body's natural defence mechanisms, potentially reducing the risk of infections and promoting overall health.

• Dental Health: Neem's antibacterial properties can help reduce plaque, tartar, and bad breath.
