It is very important to know how to give aloe vera to a dog, if you have a plant at home you must use one of the leaves closest to the earth, because they are the oldest and therefore the ones that retain the most nutrients from the plant.
Cut near the base and open at junctions, you will see a white gelatin, called parenchyma, that you will use, also note that when cutting the leaf a yellow liquid is released, which is toxic and you should not use it.White gelatin that you can mix with your dog’s water or food, can also be used as an external gel, on wounds or scars.
If you wish, you can keep what you have in the form of juice, already liquefied, add a few drops of lemon and refrigerate for 2-3 days in a closed glass jar, if you prefer to keep it in gel form you should leave the aloe vera in cubes in the refrigerator.The remains of the sheet should always be wrapped in film paper and with each new use the yellow areas should be cut.
In the case of daily use or in large quantities, either because you have many dogs at home, you have a shelter or an association, it is more advisable to use industrial brands.
