When You Don
When You Don't Want to Medicate Your Dog
Sometimes you want to avoid medicating your dog if possible. There are some easy home remedies you
can safely use. If a solution you hear does not sound safe it is better to consult a vet first. The following can
all be used safely on your dog.
Ticks or fleas
Make a paste of orange rinds and apply it evenly on the fur of the dog. Let it remain there for five hours and
then wash it gently. This is one easy and safe home remedy for helping your dogs get rid of ticks and fleas.
Dry, cracked paws
Take Vaseline or petroleum jelly and apply it to the paws for four to five days. You will find the expected
improvement and the paw will heal.
Odor problem
Add a few drops of vinegar in the dog's bath water. If you have trouble getting your dog in the bath, using
baking soda as a dry shampoo will work. Sprinkle it on your dog's coat and leave set for a few minutes and
then brush out.
Insects and bites
Insect stings and bites are another common problem with dogs. As soon as you notice this, put adequate
solution of baking soda and water on the stung area. Apply ice for any swelling. If you notice any difficulty
breathing after a sting, however, take your dog to the vet immediately as he may be allergic to the sting.
A word of caution is in order here. Never give your dog anything involving onions or
garlic, as these are toxic to a dog. If your dog is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea or
seems to be in pain, do not try any home remedies. Call your vet immediately. It is better
to be safe than to lose your beloved friend.
