Natural Pet Remedies

"In the wild, animals instinctively seek out healing herbs to help them when they are ill or undernourished. In fact, Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine, respected dogs very highly for their ability to seek out and eat medicinal herbs in the wild. This ability is shared by other animals, including cats. We are coming to realize that nature often has the answers - but animals have always known this! Natural medicine can help your pet just as it can help you. While there is always a place for conventional veterinary medicine, natural medicine can compliment conventional veterinary care and in many cases cure your pets just as well - without the side effects and damage to health that can accompany synthetic drugs and antibiotics. I have applied the same care and research that have gone into our Native Remedies range for adults and children to the development of pet-friendly, safe and effective natural remedies for animals. As always, all remedies are formulated to the highest therapeutic standards and manufactured under strict pharmaceutical conditions for your peace of mind and the well being of your pets.

With warmer spring weather arriving in the next few weeks, pet owners face an entire new set of challenges. While your pet was likely cooped up inside during the winter, the change in climate will soon likely bring your pet outdoors-also exposing it to potential health hazards.
Nearly every system in your pet's body can be affected by the change in season, but preventative measures can be taken to ensure your pet stays safe and healthy while frolicking in the great outdoors!
When unleashing your pet into the yard, park, or other place of recreation, be sure to err on the side of caution regarding the territory they investigate. Puppies especially tend to mistake blooms, leaves, and branches as potential chew toys, which can disrupt digestive systems or even be poisonous.
To settle sensitive stomachs and restore health after a slip-up, try a detoxifying supplement or effective natural tonic to support liver health. Natural remedies to promote digestive health and balance can go a long way in avoiding digestive upsets in the first place.

The following herbal products are very effective in promoting protection and relief from common complaints.

The abundance of fresh foliage also brings the additional threat of infection-transmitting insects, as well as an increased likelihood of scrapes and cuts from thorns and rough edges.

It is important to protect your pet against fleas and ticks and relieve bites from existing buggers promptly to lessen the risk of serious complications . To soothe, heal, and help prevent infection from minor bruises and sores, attend to your pet promptly. Check their paws after a walk or excursion for embedded rocks, stones, or other elements that could cause distress if ignored.

Building a strong and healthy skin and coat can help promote the natural immune response of the skin when injured to protect against problems.

In addition to these ailments more likely to affect animals, pets experience many similar conditions as us when we warm weather arrives, as well.

Allergies and behavior issues can emerge as spring fever hits, causing upset for both your pet and you! To help promote healthy respiratory health in your pet, take note of identifying allergy triggers, and try to lessen your pet's interaction with these sources. Easing your pet's discomfort can help avoid potential flare-ups of disobedience and aggression.

While heat may be the culprit as instinct interferes with training, sometimes animals react negatively to these controllable ailments. Either way, settling nerves before the onset of extreme summer heat can minimize potentially more destructive behaviors to come.

It is also possible that the added activity with more outdoor play can be contributing to increased muscle and joint pain, which may be exhibited by a disruptive, unusual demeanor.

While it can be a struggle to find balance between having fun with your pet and minimizing distractions that can interrupt carefree playtime, following these simple lifestyle tips can provide much needed support and keep your pet full of vitality and good health!

Maintaining your pet's dental health is a very important part of caring for your pet, yet nearly half of all pets suffer from gum disease, calculus, and dental problems.

Since dental health is linked with overall wellness, when proper care is not given to our pets' gums and teeth, the risk of disease and illness greatly increases. Problems can include liver, kidney, heart inflammation, and infection.

Also consider the many uses of your pet's teeth! Dogs and cats make much fuller use of their teeth than humans do - using them in ways we usually use our hands-which is just another reason why it is so important to help maintain and promote health.

There are many natural remedies and approaches you can take to help promote oral health. The PetAlive line offers four proven products that promote good oral health. As with other health issues, preventative care is best!

Begin better health from the inside out. Good nutrition, which includes lean meats, whole grains, and natural-based treats offers a good foundation for health. In addition, there are many foods specially formulated to reduce plaque and discourage tartar build-up.

Products to Promote Oral Health:

Gumz-n-Teeth - Promote healthy teeth and gums

Immunity and Liver Support - Promote immune system and liver functioning

OralHealth Mouth Spray - Promote oral health and address dog and cat breath

PupTeeth Granules - Relieve pain and discomfort associated with teething

Regularly brush your pet's teeth. Again, maintenance is key to prevention. Ask your vet about the specific needs of your pet, as some breeds are more prone to disease.

Inspect your pet's teeth. Also be sure to pay attention for any changes in your pet's eating habits (which may be linked to painful chewing) or foul-smelling breath, which is usually the first indicator of a problem. However, be aware that the gum line is slightly indented and can harbor the calculus-causing bacteria for months on end without being affected by your pet's eating.

Take your pet for regular dental check-ups.

Use natural preventative remedies to fight gum disease. Always consider the holistic method of caring for your pet, particularly since dental health is so interrelated with overall well-being.

In times of economical hardship, we all try to find ways to reduce excess spending and cut corners when possible... sometimes even at the expense of their personal and family's health.

Pet owners often consider cutting back on grooming and maintenance for their pets, especially when they appear to be in strong physical condition. According to veterinarian John Berg at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, taking your pet in for check-ups and addressing slight problems right away can lead to reduced costs in long-term care, as many diseases are potentially preventable. As diseases advance, the cost of treatment also increases. Therefore, early detection and regular maintenance can go a long way to building a strong foundation for your pet's health.

Research pet wellness or insurance plans to help reduce costs. Several nationwide pet store chains offer prepaid, affordable packages on preventative care services, as well as discounts on other veterinary services. Pet insurance is also a beneficial option since it is a set monthly cost that you can plan for.

In addition, simply reducing exposure to potential hazards in your household and yard can prevent an expensive trip to the vet. Be sure to remove all choking or edible hazards, and beware of sharp or dangerous objects or shrubs to avoid injuries.

Also consider keeping grooming costs in-house. Professional bathing and haircuts can be costly, so by doing these tasks at home, you can put aside that money towards other healthcare. By grooming your pet yourself, you may also be more aware of any disturbances in your pet's body, from abnormal lumps, bumps, or discharge-helping you put into practice early detection of problems.

Another great way to reduce pet costs is to buy in bulk - anything from food to kitty litter to nutritional supplements. PetAlive also offers great Buy 2 Get 1 FREE specials, so stock up and save!

Lastly, do a quick evaluation on overall spending perhaps you can cut back on little costs that add up, like excessive toys, wearable accessories, or gourmet treats. Instead, try rotating your pet's favorite toys to avoid boredom, and make your own treats at home. You may find that a little extra TLC can go a long way to a happy, healthy pet!

Grains are used as filler in commercial food and are usually not recommend for our sick and old ailing friends. Please use with caution.

I'd also warn against dried fruit because of there high sugar content.
STAY AWAY from grapes and raisins they are poisonous to dogs.

Here's a great website on Foods to Avoid Pet Education

Here's an article Cancer Friendly Food - Dogs with one of my favorite quotes in mind.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

Also below is a piece taken from
Cancer Dog Diet - One of Your Most Important Considerations for Successful Outcome
"Diet is one thing that is easily controlled, and is often the only thing that makes the
difference between a successful treatment outcome and a failure"
The first rule for feeding a dog with cancer is to STAY AWAY FROM GRAINS! Dogs did
not evolve as grain eaters. Most of our commercial dog foods are based upon rice, wheat or
corn. But if we look at dogs in nature, we find they never graze in the wheat field or rice
paddies. Dogs have evolved for the past 10 million years as primarily meat eaters. They
simply do not produce the enzymes necessary to digest grains. While rice and corn may be a
good filler for the dog food companies, they don't make a good filler for the dog. Read your
dog food label: make sure the first ingredient on the list is some type of meat. You will
almost always find some grains listed, but they should be down the list a ways, not right at
the top. Sorghum is a better filler than corn, which is better than rice or wheat. For a canine
cancer patient, any commercial dry food should be supplemented with additional animal
protein sources. Feel free to add canned sardines (best), cottage cheese, eggs and just about
any kind of meat such as hamburger or ground turkey. High fat content is good. Some vets
advocate a raw diet, while some say it should be cooked. More important than cooked or
raw is the amount of animal-based protein and fats. Keep in mind, dogs are primarily
carnivores. They do best on the diet they evolved to eat.
