Homemade Dog Remedies

Interested in homemade dog remedies?


Let's start with a homemade product to remove pet odors and stains from carpeting.

There is also homemade dog shampoo information covering ideas such as how to get rid of fleas and how to deoderize a dog that's been skunked or rolled in poop.

In addition, there are lifestyle remedies which involve preventive care by paying attention to a dog's: German Shepherd dog in the Anza Borrego desert All of the above preventive measures are ideally things that are under your control, not the dog's.

Rather than expressing your love for your dog through indulgences such as excessive treats or buying fancy accessories, gear and toys, you will have a happier dog if you first spend money on vital needs such as exercise and keeping the dog's weight at a healthy level.

Although it can be challenging if you have a busy schedule to remember to brush your dog's teeth or research and provide proper nutrition, these things pay dividends in terms of better quality of life, way fewer vet visits, and therefore wonderful monetary savings.

In other words, proper preventive dog care takes planning, but the benefits far outweigh the time and effort you put in.


************************************************

Oh yes, one other preventive idea may be to have insurance in place, so that you can afford necessary care if your dog gets really ill or is in an accident.

Have a Car Sick Dog?

Puppies up to 8 months may get car sick because their inner ear structure has not developed properly as yet.

Sometimes the ears never mature; the dog continues to get car sick.

Ways to minimize effects:
  Experiment with:

* Giving or withholding food
* Providing fresh air
* Soothing music
* Bringing along a favorite    stuffed toy, blanket or bed
* Allowing your dog to see out
   vs. blocking your dog's view
* Taking short trips with positive
   destinations(instead of scary
    visits to the vet)

What about medications?

Dramamine is NOT recommended as it (a) will zonk your dog out and (b) is not FDA approved for canines.

Instead, for dogs older than a year, below is a homeopathic remedy without side effects:



Best of all, rather than a large pill that is tough to administer, this remedy consists of granules that dissolve quickly on or under the dog's tongue.
