NATURAL & HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR DOGS
We would like to thank Tami at Mr Slobberchops for help in compiling this section, and many of the products in this section can be purchased from Mr. Slobberchops. or elsewhere online.
More and more people these days are getting interested in maintaining their dogs health and well-being, using natural methods rather than using chemicals.
Many herbal, homoeopathic and natural remedies have been around for hundreds of years and have anecdotal evidence of success. For things like gastric upsets, skin conditions and the problematic issue of ticks and fleas, many now prefer to try non-chemical products.
The information on the following pages is not intended to replace veterinary advice and if any owner is concerned about their dog we recommend always visiting a qualified vet.
If your dog is unwell, there is a basic check list you can follow before going any further =
BASIC CHECK LIST:
Get accustomed to what the pet’s gums usually look like, notice coat changes, teeth, eyes etc
As with any health issue always look first to the gut, 70 to 90% of the immune system is born there so it is always a good indicator of health.
Are you feeding a fresh diet, be it raw or cooked?
If not could you start adding fresh foods to the diet? According to very recent scientific research feeding a good quality fresh food diet helps keep cancer at bay by more than 70% over feeding a processed food, just the same as us humanfolk! Happy researching.
Is there a need for allergy testing?
Alternatively, does it just need a little tweak maybe or allergy testing perhaps.
Has the diet changed of late or has there been an emotional upset for you or the animal?
Emotional stress can cause all manner of things.
Environmental issues can also pose a threat. New carpets, rugs, curtains, couches come sprayed with chemicals that can effect animals more than human’s.
Try to air things out and buy as natural as you possibly can.
Do you need air freshener plug in and sprays or really strong chemical cleaners? All these things make a difference over time.
So always with any health issues try to work out any changes first.
