Overweight Dogs – Home Remedies
Posted: Jan 22, 2010 |Comments: 0

]]>
Some dogs are not able to snack on commercial products. My dog is one of those dogs. It has caused him to have an upset stomach and vomiting.
A time trusted method is natural remedies for dogs. One of those natural remedies was to make home cooked snacks. Located excellent recipes from Internet sources. However, I found that I have to be careful about the type of ingredients and how many to give my pet. He seems to put on weight because of the carbohydrates in flour?
Our pets need to be maintained on a healthy weight appropriate to their breed and activity. You do not need to chronically weigh your pet on a scale. If you can see or feel a waistline the weight is correct. Overweight dogs will have medical problems and shorter lives.
It can cause deformed bones, it can affect their muscles, it can cause excessive bone growth on their elbows and spine and there is a loss of appetitie which leads to weight loss.
Were you aware of meats such as ham, bacon, turkey skin, and those tasty fried chicken wings and fat trimmings are harmful to our dogs? These meats contain too much salt and fat which can cause stomachaches and pancreatitis. Let us also include fried foods. Examples would be fries, potato chips and other snacks that are laced with salt and fried in animal fat.
The bones in the chicken wings can splinter and cause intestinal problems. Bones can be fed to dogs, but you need to be there to monitor. Some people grind the bones and mix it with dog food.
Vets have seen intestinal damage from splintered bones too many times. Avoid spoiled or foul smelling bones. Bones that are round and thick and appropriate in size for the mouth of your dog are great for chewing and scraping plaque off their teeth.
Cooked eggs are a good source of protein, not raw. I was always told that raw eggs would help to give a dog a shiny and silky coat. But, I have been corrected. It was discovered that raw eggs interfere with one of the B vitamins and does not aid in a dog having a shiny and silky coat of hair.
Do not feed your dog raw fish as it creates skin and coat problems, cooked fish is okay.
Of course, you have heard that it is not good to feed your dog cat food as feline foods are too high in protein and fats.
Most commercial dog foods have changed to meet the needs of our domesticated dogs and cats. These animals are dependent on what we feed them. You may not want your dog rummaging in the garbage can or the trash can and eating spoiled or moldy foods as your pet will have diarrhea and vomiting, possibly worse.
We take care of our pets using commercial and/or natural ingredients. And I do my best to balance both ingredients to keep my dog healthy.

Boost Senior Dog Health with Natural Remedies
As your pet ages, senior dog health should become a priority. Certain breeds develop age-related problems as they get older. Other dogs develop issues that have to do with diet and lifestyle, so it’s important to come up with a preventative plan, just as you would for your own health. In this article, you’ll learn what you can do to boost your dog’s vitality and immunity.
Any dog over seven years of age can begin to show these age related symptoms, and larger dogs are more likely to suffer from age related problems. Senior dog health problems, like senior human health problems, vary from bone and joint related problems, dysfunction of organs like the liver or kidneys. Metabolisms tend to slow down, and eyes and ears get weaker. Skin and coat loose their youthful glossy look, and teeth and gums begin to rot, as they do in humans.
Senior dog health is an iffy thing, and takes a lot more maintenance than that of a younger dog or a puppy. Older dogs not only tend to be less energetic, they also have lower recuperative powers. So, if an older dog falls ill, she takes much longer o recover, especially after a harsh treatment by conventional antibiotic drugs. This is where natural homeopathic treatments can make a large and significant difference to the ongoing maintenance of the health of your pet.
Problems of the bones and joints, like arthritis, which are chronic, are also helped enormously by natural remedies. Weakened eyesight, and weakening of the heart, lungs, liver, etc, can be arrested, and slowed significantly by herbal remedies, and long term natural treatment. Older dogs are more prone to infectious diseases as well, because their immune systems become weaker with age, which leaves them vulnerable to viral and bacterial attacks. Any of these infections can cause serious and life threatening senior dog health problems.
The right and continuous administration of holistic and natural treatments can make a big difference to how your dog deals with infections too. Herbal treatments help to bolster the immune system, making your dog stronger, and better able to resist or deal with infectious agents.
Maintaining the health of an older dog entails paying more attention to age-related health issues. Do the research, and make sure you are up-to-date as far as possible problems are concerned. Find out the specific health issues that your dog is likely to face. There are problems associated with specific breeds and age groups of dogs.
Help your dog adjust with advancing age by changing her lifestyle and diet to go with her lower energy and metabolism levels. Adding daily herbal supplements like Huang Qi, Mistletoe, Purple Coneflower, Indian ginseng, and Milk Thistle can help improve senior dog health by boosting immunity and fighting diseases like cancer. Just remember that homeopathy or holistic treatments must be continued long term, and as specified, for full effects to be felt.

Natural Remedies Explored – Asthma
A subject I feel well qualified to write about having suffered for a good many years until I got to grips with what was causing the problem. I’m not cured, but I no longer use chemical inhalants.
I have discovered that I have antibodies to house mites, cats and dogs, and grass pollens (there are probably more). These are true allergies rather than intolerances, as indicated by the antibodies. I knew long before I had the blood tests that I was allergic to dust, cats and dogs (a shame because I like both). To control the dust allergy I learned to wet dust, as I find polish to also be an irritant.
Recently I have found that I can tolerate cats and dogs without becoming a sneezing wreck. I attribute this to a combination of the following: euphrasia, butterbur and chlorophyll.
The triggers for asthmatics vary from individual to individual and so there is no blanket cure that I am aware of, although my junk mail tells me there is; but of course I have to buy the book first.
Observation was my way to recovery, a long process for me unfortunately. I have always been a fan of real ale, but it was not as freely (I wish) available as it is now, so in the past I used to drink keg beer, which has chemical additives. After a weekend I would always find that my asthma would worsen and then by mid-week alleviate. However, now that I drink nothing but real ale, well apart from the occasional glass of water 
the Monday and Tuesday syndrome no longer exists.
I have also found that the removal of dairy products from my diet has helped tremendously. Wheat is also recognised as a common allergen for some asthmatics, but I’ve not been able to pin-point it for my condition. However, it may be worthwhile for sufferers to experiment with exclusion diets, but please take qualified medical advice.
Also try adding garlic, onions, ginger, chillies, cloves and liquorice (not the sweets 
but do not take if you have high blood pressure) to your diet, as they all act as decongestants. I find that using liquid gingko helps a lot in relieving wheezing and that this is probably due to its anti-inflammatory properties. As a habit I now use it daily first thing in the morning.
I am very interested in peoples anecdotal stories about how they overcame niggling or even chronic health problems so please feel free to pass on your advice at my site.
I have a keen interest in using natural remedies and have had years of experience in using herbs and homeopathy.
My site The Apothecary was set up to discuss natural remedies and related subjects. Please feel free to use the forum.
