A question for anyone in the group. I use alternatives with my dog for
most things. I have found herbals effective for ear infections and I
also give my dog high quality food.
I'm assuming you are feeding some sort of commercial kibble? Almost all
are full of grains and other things not naturally in a dog's diet that
can cause problems. They are carnivores and I feed mine raw meat.
Switching to a species appropriate diet makes a healthier dog that can
fight off heart worms.
BTW, what do you use for ear infections? I have a dog with one right
now, treating with CS inside and out at the moment.
I took her to the vet today and I was told that heart worm is becoming
a big problem and can carry risks to humans now. I keep my dog flea
free by using a flea comb and vacuuming the carpet daily. Because she
is a small dog and rarely goes outside and we have no cats, fleas have
never been a problem so I dont use advantage because the dog sleeps in
my bed and I know that this advantage stuff can get in your enviroment.
Good for you! I'm trying to get off that stuff now.
I am however worried about heart worm and some other parasites that
seem to be emerging with pets. does anyone have any suggestions for
heartworm or should I just bite the bullet and give her the pill?
If your dog is inside most the time you don't really need the heartworm
pills. Some dogs have serious problems with them. Raw feeding will also
help greatly.
Also any natural suggestions for fleas would be helpful as my vet
doesnt think I am doing my dog justice by refusing advantage. I hate
giving my dog a pill that is an internal insecticide.
Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions in the past.
Your vet is wrong. Advantage can cause dogs to become aggressive among
other things. I'm finding out, as you will, that most vets don't keep up
with studies and information that shows their traditional methods are
actually harmful. Don't fall for it.
I don't allow my dogs to get vaccines either. That's a whole other can
of worms there.
For information on raw feeding please visit this site and try their
links as well.
