The flesh (called gel) of the Aloe Miller Barbadensis, commonly known as THE Aloe Vera, is not poisonous. Only the skin of the leaves contain bitter substances which cause irritations and diarrhoea in humans and animals. But the Aloe Ferox, also known as the Cape Aloe, has these bitter substances throughout the leaf rind and the flesh and must be avoided. The gel of the Aloe Barbadensis Miller is good for skin problems, can be used internally and externally for all animals and humans. See that you get the gel, which is 100 percent Aloe Vera, and not just the juice, which has been diluted 200 (yes, two hundred) times with water!
Just read aloe vera listed in poisonous plants for dogs, yet this gel has cured skin problems on my Jack Russe
aloe is a healing plant but ingested can be poisonous
Reply:Ive never heard that you could not consume Aloe, maybe its becouse a dog doesnt know when to stop eating and they will make themself sick that way, I usto drink it when I was pragnate.
Reply:poison if you eat it
Reply:It’s only poisonous if you eat it. You can apply it to skin and it helps with healing. Go figure!
Reply:i dont know all confusing to me..poisonous if you eat it but ok in drink and tablet form to us!!! dogs have a different system so its ok for their skin but not stomachs etc

Itchy, sore jack russell
Paddy is 9 years old now and has had skin redness/ soreness for years.
It seems to flare up in spring right through until the middle of autumn.
Over the years he has been back and forth to the vets for courses of steroids to calm his skin down.
It drives him mad. He bites his fur out down his sides and around his tail and had also started chewing on his front paws.
It gets so bad he makes himself bleed at times.
I noticed your ad in the back of Horse and Hound and I thought anything is worth ago!!
And it worked. 2 months down the line Paddy is looking really healthy, all his fur has grown back on his body and his feet and he just looks so healthy.
I wanted to say a huge thank you from Paddy and me.
You have saved us masses in vet bills, which I can now spend on treats for Paddy!
The most important I have a much happier dog.
I have enclosed 2 pictures the one of him sat down (below) you can see where his skin is bad and the 2nd picture (above) of the cheeky chap now fluffy and full of trouble!!
Thank you again,
Lucinda and Paddy
Paddy before: You can see the patches on his back
