Aloe vera contains a variety of active ingredients. In their unprocessed state, some of them can be toxic to pets. The aloe vera products on the market for internal and external use, on the other hand, are harmless.
Aloe vera cares for your dog's coat and helps with digestive problems
Aloe vera gel is an ancient natural remedy that has anti-inflammatory effects on the skin and promotes digestion in the intestines. However, your dog should not eat aloe vera plants, as they contain aloin, which can cause irritation in the digestive tract.
Aloe Vera for grooming and digestive problems
There are a number of products on the market for dogs that contain aloe vera gel for external and internal use. You can also use your indoor aloe gel to heal wounds or as a feed additive. When harvesting, be sure to note:

- drain the yellow juice
- use the gel fresh or freeze it.

In healthy dogs, the pure aloe vera gel should be dosed carefully. In the case of chronically ill or elderly animals, prior consultation with the veterinarian is required.
