Herbal Home Remedies for Your Pet

Have you ever wondered if there is an effective, inexpensive, home solution to a problem that your pet may be having?  Thousands of home herbal remedies exist for human conditions—a large portion of these have even been tested by medical science.  But what facts do we have on treating animals with herbal care?

The natural home remedies that work well on humans also, in many cases, work well on family pets.  These treatments can often be safer and more effective, (not to mention less expensive than a visit to the vet) than pharmaceutical medications.  In addition, pharmaceuticals often create negative and even debilitating side effects.

The best treatments for your pets should be a combination of traditional medicine–vets still serve a good purpose in caring for your pets—and careful use of herbal or homeopathic remedies.  And similar to humans, healthy eating, sleeping, and exercise habits are critical to a healthy and happy pet.

A holistic approach should be applied when treating your pets, meaning you should examine all factors that influence your pet’s well being.  Following are a couple of examples of herbal solutions to some common pet ailments…

• Itching Ears can be caused by ear infection, mites, or other skin/ear problems– Product Recommendation: Dr. Ear

• Dr. Ear, ear drops for dogs and cats, contains a number of herbs that are widely used for skin health and ear health including, Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary, Calendula, and Verbascum Thapsus
