What Use Is Herbal Treatment For Dogs?

When your pooch is ill you will do everything that you reasonably can in order to get him back to full health. This can often mean expensive trips to the vet but we gladly pay it to get our four legged friends a clean bill of health. There are alternatives to veterinary treatment for some minor health conditions. These alternatives are herbal treatments for dogs. We can also look to herbal treatments for dogs to keep our canines in top health all year round.

Don't expect to be able to solve all dog health conditions with herbal remedies. When the problem is very serious, in emergencies or when your dog is not making sufficient progress with herbal treatment, you should still take him to the vet.

So just what can we use herbal treatment for dogs for? The following conditions are excellent candidates for herbal remedies:

1) Digestive upsets

Dogs suffer from diarrhea and constipation often. Herbal treatment for dogs can soothe their bowels and help to promote digestive health. We can give them herbal remedies to firm up stool production when pet diarrhea strikes and we can give them supplements to promote healthy, regular bowels when they have pet constipation. Probiotics can be given all year round to those dogs who have sensitive stomachs.

2) Fleas and ticks

Fleas and ticks love dogs so we have to take steps to keep them away! But please keep our dogs away from harmful pesticides that are toxic to them and us. Why not look into herbal treatments for pet fleas instead so that you can keep fleas and ticks away without poisoning them.

3) General health and energy

Is your pooch suffering from low energy levels? Or maybe he's just lost a bit of his zest for life as he's got older? You'll be amazed at just how much herbal supplements can reinvigorate your dog. Why not give it a try to see for yourself? Look at our pet health advice page for some general health supplements.

As well as saving you money on vet bills, herbal treatments are also much kinder to our dogs. There is no need to pump them full of pharmaceuticals at every available opportunity. Why not cure their minor complaints the way nature intended?
