Natural pet home remedies can be extremely beneficial to our dogs. There are a few simple steps you can take to take care of your dog that will help him stay healthy and prevent diseases by building his immune system.
1.Give your dog a healthy diet. Many of the commercial dog foods do not provide the proper nutrients that your dog needs, and have a lot of chemical processing, which is harmful. There are some things that you need to stay away from when you buy your dog's food. Always read the labels and stay away from the following ingredients: by products of any kind, artificial coloring and artificial flavoring, BHA, BHT, Ethoxyquin and propylene glycol.
2.An organic diet is best for your dog. Even if you buy kibble, at least make sure that his diet is based on protein, whole grains, natural preservatives such as vitamen C, E and mixed tocopherols. Essential fatty acids are also very important for prevention of allergies, arthritis and cancer.
3.Make sure your dog exercises every day. Take walks with him and play fetch or Frisbee so that his body can get a work out and get the stress out. This will be a special time of bonding for your and your dog as well.
4.Give your dog a daily supplement. Because of the growing amount of pollutants in the environment and chemicals in dog medications and dog food, there has been also a growing response in natural supplements that you can use to aid your dog's immune system to get stronger.
Even the best dog food does not contain the essential nutrients that your dog needs to build his immune system. Dogs are under attack constantly from the toxins in the environment. Out in the wild dogs chew on certain healing herbs and plants when they get sick. In the domestic environment, we don't have those curative herbs so we need to make up for what they cannot get in this environment. These supplements provide our dogs with the nutrients they need for better health and to be able to fight disease.
Besides a healthy diet, exercise and a daily supplement there are hundreds of pet home remedies that you can give your dog so you won't have to treat him with the chemicals and toxins found in conventional medication. Find out how you can take the best care of your dog at home, with natural pet home remedies. You may already have many of these remedies at home. By treating your dog with natural ingredients and boosting his immune system you will probably save a lot of trips to the vet as well.
Take a few moments to think about giving your pet a natural advantage. Isn't he worth it? And even if you don't want to change your current pet care regimen, don't you you owe it to your pet to add to it with the most healthy and complete diet you can give him?About the Author:
