Is dragon’s blood safe for dogs?

Well, well, well. Look who’s back! Welcome to another article where we answer some i-can’t-believe-they-actually-googled-this question. Today’s hot topic? Drumroll please… “Is dragon’s blood safe for dogs?”

Yes, you read that right: dragon’s blood. No need to adjust your glasses or scratch off an eye booger. We’re going there.

So buckle up and let’s learn more about this curious product. Can it actually bring out the inner Daenerys Targaryen in our beloved furry friends? Let’s find out.

What is Dragon’s Blood?

Before anything else, let us first define what Dragon’s Blood really is; not that we’ll be hacking into any fire-breathing creatures anyway (unless your neighbor breeds dragons and won’t shut them up).

According to some obscure Wikipedia page (we’re trusting here), Dragon’s Blood resin comes from a number of different trees such as Croton lechleri (in South America) & Daemonorops Draco (in Indonesia). When the tree bark of these plants are cut open, a red sap oozes out which then hardens after coming into contact with air.

This hardened substance can then be used as dye (’cause nothing screams trendy like having something stained with ‘dragons’), varnish on woodworks, paint pigment and even incense among others.

But wait! Don’t close tab yet because yes–it has also been marketed over time as medicinal supplements…whaaaat??

Dragon’s Blood Medicinal Properties

‘Hold on’, I hear your brain scratching its scalp in confusion,’do people really think consuming dragon juice will heal them?’ Unfortunately…..yes.There have been claims that suggest taking intake of the infused liquid would improve symptoms such as:

• Controlling Diarrhea
• Healing Wounds Faster
• Supplying Anti-Inflammatory Properties
• Neutralizing Bacteria and Germs in the Body

But hey, let’s not forget that this is a “claim”.

No Scientific Proofs That It Works!

In reality though, there has yet to be sufficient scientific research proving the health benefits of dragon’s blood as a medical supplement. Not only that, some studies have shown inconsistencies in labeling what their products contain (we’d like to stick around with Fido not Benzos.)

So until further notice: Stick to scientifically tested and FDA-approved medications for you AND your furry pal!

Is Dragon’s Blood Safe For Dogs?

Now back to our main question at paw: “Is Dragon’s Blood safe for dogs?” After all we said about its medicinal properties–it might sound reasonable.

If you’re looking for one-word answer then it’ll be NO. Do not go painting scales on your pooch just because some obscure blog post told you so.

Even huge pet-friendly companies (Pet Poison Helpline) warns against giving unusual elements (saps,dyes or even fake fur collars..yeek!) without consulting your veterinarian first. Alert them if by any chance they ingested something unrecognizable while walking on leash.Ingestion can lead to potential intestinal irritation, vomiting and diarrhea—creating quite an unsavory mess in the living area.

And If They Somehow Get Exposed To It? – Doggo First Aid Protocol

‘They already did swallow something?’,you panickingly ask. Well fear no more; here’s what to do:

Step 1: Gather Information

Gather information such as quantity ingested,time frame since ingestion,type of product…

Step 2: Call Your Vet!

You may also want to inform the veterinary hospital ahead so they could guide better over phone before visits.

Step 3:Get SettledGather some towels,bags or even mops as with this condition your doggo is prone to vomitting,nausea or diarrhea.

Step 4: Transport Your Dog Safely

If necessary, transport them to the vet. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

The Bottom Line

Therefore- in conclusion- it’s crucial we remind ourselves that just because a product exists doesn’t mean it should exist anywhere near Fido’s snout. As much as our furry buddies behave like indestructible superhero characters & shed off their fur coats every season–they still need us (not dragons) around for safety protocols!

So please stick to regular chew toys and treats when spoiling Ruffles. It’s better you leave latex dragon animals at Spencers and keep your pets out of mythical Targaryen world!!

Stay safe both peeps and puppers!
