Home Remedies for Common Dog Ailments

This is the One Product that No Dog Owner Should Be Without

Does your beloved dog scratch incessantly? Chew their paws, have red, raw skin patches and losing hair?

Have you taken your dog to the Vet and been through the allergy tests, the injections, the antibiotics, the Prednisone, tried every shampoo, cream, lotion and spray available, and still your dog is in misery? Don't despair, there is one
 more product to try, it is cheap, easy to obtain, and cures the majority of dog dermatitis/hot spot problems.

Apple Cider Vinegar. It will reverse all kinds of dog skin ailments. Spray directly on the hot spots for immediate relief. Continue using Apple Cider Vinegar, applying it twice daily directly to the hot spots by spraying or sponging on. In about 3 days, the dog's hair will start growing back and the redness will be gone from the skin. Relief for you and your dog.

Even if your dog does not have hot spots/dermatitis, add ACV to your dog's bath water for a thick, shiny coat and odor neutralizer. Bathing them with a little ACV will protect your dog from getting hot spots and fleas. Also, add 1/4 cup of ACV per gallon of drinking water for your dog to protect your dog against fleas. Your dog will be too acidic inside and out for the flea's taste, so fleas will leave your dog alone. A few drops of ACV in your dogs ears after bathing will help avoid ear infections and ear mites.

Apple Cider Vinegar has as many health benefits for dogs as it does for humans. All natural, easy to obtain, easy to use and cheap.

I have found a few other home remedies that work well for my dogs also, you might want to give them a try.

For an upset stomach, try cooked white rice. Cook the rice according to package directions and feed this to your dog for a couple of days instead of their normal food. On the second day you can add ground chicken or turkey to the rice. I know some folks only feed raw meat to their dogs, so your choice to cook or not cook the chicken or turkey, it's the white rice that will settle their stomachs and cleanse their system of whatever was causing it to be upset.

For stinkiness, get some Avon skin so soft oil, put about 3 drops in bath water. This will help with odor (also helps with fleas).

For itchy skin and licking paws, try omega 3 in pet's food. This has completed healed my yorkie of this problem. I get the capsules (1,000 mg) of omega 3 and puncture the capsule and squeeze 3 drops on her food each feeding (I feed her 3x times a day). Also she sees groomer once every 5 weeks and that's the only bath she gets. If she gets too stinky, I'll get a washcloth and rub her down with it. This keeps her natural oils from being washed away which helps to keep her from getting too itchy

My Shih Tzu has little scabbie things on her head, a greasy underside and a severe doggie odor. Once I tried ACV, and she just smelled like an Easter egg. Do I just need to do it again? I have treated her for ear infection and allergy. What is our trouble?
