At Paisleyâs Posh Paws, weâre always looking for ways to support your dogâs health from the inside out â not just through grooming, but through overall wellness.
One product weâre often asked about is NingXia Red by Young Living â a powerful antioxidant-rich supplement made with wolfberries and essential oils.
When used properly, it can be a simple, natural addition to your dogâs daily routine.
đż Why Consider Adding It?
Many of our clients are looking for ways to support:
Immune health
Energy and vitality
Healthy aging
Skin and coat condition
This is where antioxidant support can play a role â especially for dogs dealing with stress, environmental exposure, or aging changes.
đś How Much Should You Give?
This is where itâs important to remember:đ This is a supplement â not a drink for dogs
Even though humans may drink larger amounts, dogs do best with smaller, consistent servings.
General guideline:
Small dogs: ½ tsp â 1 tsp daily
Medium dogs: 1â2 tsp daily
Large dogs: 1â2 Tbsp daily
Giant breeds: up to 1 oz maximum
đĄ Always start on the lower end and increase gradually over 5â7 days.
đ What to Watch For (This Matters Most)
Every dog responds differently â and learning your dogâs response is key to doing this correctly.
⥠Energy Changes
What we want to see:
Brighter, more alert behavior
Improved stamina on walks
Better recovery after activity
More engagement and responsiveness
This should feel like balanced, natural energy â not a spike.
If it feels like too much:
Restlessness
Difficulty settling
Over-excitement
đ Simply reduce the amount and split into smaller servings.
đŠ Stool & Digestion
This is one of the easiest ways to tell if the amount is right.
Ideal response:
Firm, formed stool
No change in bathroom habits
If you notice:
Loose or soft stool
Increased frequency
đ Decrease the amount and reintroduce more slowlyđ Always give with food (not on an empty stomach)
đž Tolerance & Sensitivity
Some dogs need a slower introduction, especially:
Dogs with gut imbalance or yeast issues
Dogs new to supplements
More sensitive or smaller breeds
Signs to adjust:
Lip licking
Mild nausea
Decreased appetite
đ Lower the dose and slow things down â this is completely normal and easy to correct.
đĄ Best Ways to Use It
Mix into your dogâs meals
Split between morning and evening
Freeze into enrichment treats or lick mats
Stay consistent â daily use matters more than larger amounts
đ Our Approach at Paisleyâs
We believe in:â Supporting the body naturallyâ Using high-quality, thoughtfully sourced productsâ Helping pet parents feel confident in what theyâre using
You never need to overhaul everything at once â small, intentional changes make the biggest difference over time.
đŠ Have Questions?
Weâre always happy to help guide you based on your dogâs specific needs â whether thatâs skin, coat, digestion, or overall wellness.
Feel free to reach out or ask us at your next visit đđž
â ď¸ As with any supplement, please consult your veterinarian if your dog has medical conditions, is pregnant, or is on medications.
