Folks, I’ve worked with Silver Water for a long time, mostly with people. But here’s the scoop: some of the most eye-opening results have been with dogs. Man’s best friend deserves the best, and I believe Silver Water is one of the finest tools you can keep on hand to care for them. Let me share a few stories, and along the way, I’ll show you exactly how those who have been blessed with the love and care for their four-legged best friends can do the same for your dogs.
Wounds and Scrapes: “Duke the Hunting Dog”
I’ll never forget Duke, a loyal hunting dog who tore his paw pad wide open on broken glass. His owner thought the season was over. We cleaned the wound, sprayed Silver Water on it morning and night, and kept it covered for the first couple of days. Within three days, the swelling had gone down. Within two weeks, Duke was back on the trail, nose to the ground, tail wagging.
How to Apply:
- Rinse the wound with clean water.
- Spray Silver Water directly onto the cut 2–3 times a day.
- For deeper cuts, cover lightly with a clean cloth after spraying.
Hot Spots and Itching: “The Miserable Shepherd”
There was a shepherd once who had chewed his whole hind leg raw from itching. His owners had tried everything, even steroids from the vet, with little relief. We began spraying Silver Water on the hot spot twice a day. Within days, the redness was calming, and within weeks, the hair grew back thick and healthy.
How to Apply:
- Spray irritated patches directly.
- Let the area air dry — don’t wipe it off.
- Repeat morning and night until the dog stops chewing or scratching.
Droopy Ears and Stinky Troubles
If you’ve owned a hound or spaniel, you know the smell of a dog’s ear gone bad. One lady brought me her Basset hound, shaking its head constantly, with ears that smelled like old socks. We started with a few drops of Silver Water massaged gently into the ear canal. By the second day, the head shaking had nearly stopped.
How to Apply:
- Place 2–3 drops of Silver Water into each ear.
- Gently massage the base of the ear.
- Allow the dog to shake its head.
- Do this once or twice a day until the condition clears.
Bright Eyes: “The Cloudy Pup”
A rescue pup came to me with discharge around his eyes, red and cloudy. A soft cotton pad soaked with Silver Water, wiped gently twice a day, began to clear it up. Within a week, his eyes were bright, clear, and full of life again.
How to Apply:
- Moisten a cotton pad or soft cloth with Silver Water.
- Wipe from the inside corner of the eye outward.
- Repeat morning and evening.
Tummy Troubles: “The Lab and the Dead Fish”
I once knew a Labrador who got into half a rotting fish by the river. His stomach was a mess. We added a tablespoon of Silver Water to his water bowl daily, and within a couple of days, his system settled down.
How to Apply:
- Add one teaspoon to the drinking water for small dogs.
- Add one tablespoon for larger breeds.
- Use daily until symptoms settle.
Teeth and Gums
Bad teeth can steal years from a dog’s life. I’ve seen gums so inflamed that the dog could hardly eat. A toothbrush dipped in Silver Water and used gently along the gumline made all the difference. Over time, swelling reduced, breathing improved, and the dog was back to crunching biscuits like a pup again.
How to Apply:
- Dip the toothbrush in Silver Water.
- Brush gently along the gumline.
- Repeat weekly, or add Silver Water to the drinking bowl daily.
Aging Gracefully: “Rusty the Old Lab”
My own old Lab, Rusty, began to slow down with age, cloudy eyes, stiff joints, and a tired coat. I started adding Silver Water to his drinking water every day, gave his coat a light spray once a week, and wiped his eyes and gums regularly. Over time, his eyes looked clearer, his coat shone, and he had a spark in him again. He still aged, but he aged with dignity and comfort.
Daily Maintenance Routine:
- Add a splash of Silver Water to drinking water each day.
- Lightly mist coat once a week to calm skin and add shine.
- Wipe eyes and ears once or twice weekly.
- Brush gums weekly with a toothbrush dipped in Silver Water.
Emergency Protocols: “Better to Have and Not Need”
I always keep a spray bottle of Silver Water in my truck and my hiking pack. I’ve sprayed bee stings, cactus punctures, even a rattlesnake bite while rushing a dog to the vet. You don’t sit on your hands when your dog’s in trouble — you act.
Emergency Uses:
- Bee or Insect Stings: Spray directly, repeat every few hours.
- Snake Bite (on the way to vet): Flood wound with Silver Water.
- Burns: Mist area, then cover with a cloth soaked in Silver Water.
- Eye Injury: Rinse gently with Silver Water, then see vet immediately.
- Trail Scrapes or Cuts: Spray and let air dry.
Veterinarians Are Catching On
And here’s something that warms my heart, folks — more and more veterinarians are starting to use my Silver Water in their clinics. I’ve had vets call me up after seeing what it did for a client’s dog, asking if they could get it in 5-gallon containers. They’re finding it useful for post-surgery wound care, ear cleanings, and even easing skin conditions that just wouldn’t respond to the usual medications. When professionals who’ve spent years in school start reaching for Silver Water, you know we’re onto something good.
That said,
Folks, Silver Water isn’t meant to replace a good veterinarian. But it sure is the tool I’d want by my side in both the daily care and the emergencies that come with loving a dog.
Your dog trusts you with his life. He’ll walk beside you through storms and sunshine, loyal until the end. The least we can do is give him every chance to live stronger, longer, and happier.
And for that, I can’t think of a better gift than Silver Water.
