Home Pet Remedies (c) Herbapet 2009
Home pet remedies are best employed when our beloved cat or dog has picked up some minor health problem. We don't want (or need) to take them to the vet every single time that they get a little bit under the weather.
As people, we don't seek medical help every single time we get a cold or a digestive upset. We only do this for the more serious problems that have us worried.
The same logic holds true for our four legged friends. Cats and dogs suffer from minor health complaints all the time. These might be digestive troubles or ear infections. We can and should try to treat these conditions at home.
There is another category of health concerns that we want home pet remedies for, and that is those conditions that veterinary science would prescribe toxic chemicals for. Avoiding fleas on your dog or cat is a good example of this. The chemicals that your vet would want you to use aren't very safe at all and the ones that you can buy in the store are incredibly toxic. So why not do your pet a favor and use home pet remedies instead? Avoid fleas the way nature intended.
Over the course of their lives even the healthiest cat or dog is going to suffer from the odd upset stomach or ear infection. And they are relying on you to take care of their flea treatments for them.
You need to educate yourself about common pet health complaints, so that you can spot and treat these minor health conditions yourself. Take personal responsibility for your pet's health today. Build up a little herbal medicine collection for your cat or dog that you can use for years to come when they get unwell.
