Geranium

Geranium, a plant belonging to the Geraniaceae family, is primarily found in temperate climates, including parts of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The most common species are the Pelargonium species, which are often cultivated in gardens and as houseplants. Traditionally, geraniums are valued for their aromatic leaves and flowers, which are used in various cultures for decorative purposes and as a natural insect repellent.

In animal care, geranium is sometimes applied due to its supposed insect-repelling properties. For dogs, it can be used in sprays or oils to deter ticks and fleas. In chickens, geranium can help refresh the environment and keep insects at bay, contributing to a healthier living space. For horses, geranium is sometimes added to feed or supplements to support well-being, although scientific evidence for these applications is limited.

While geraniums have various uses in animal care, it is important to always pay attention to the correct dosage and seek advice from a veterinarian if necessary.
