Natural Health Products For Dogs

Choosing natural health products for dogs is a great way to improve their health, protect them from dangerous chemicals/additives... and take care of the environment around you.

If you prefer to use natural, organic or holistic foods and treatments for your human family, then you probably want to do the same for Fido and Fifi.

Natural health products for dogs come in all shapes, sizes and varieties and I can help you find...

• Vitamins & supplements
• Ear & eye products
  
• Flea & tick treatments
• Anti-anxiety treatments
• Skin & coat treatments

But first, let's take a quick look at the advantages of taking the natural approach.....

Why Natural Health Products For Dogs?

To me it just makes sense to minimize my exposure to chemicals and artificial ingredients... whether it's in my food, skin care products, household cleaners or just about anything else.

I also prefer to use natural remedies for minor health issues rather than just pop-a-pill (but of course main-stream medications are necessary in lots of situations and I'm grateful to have them!).

That same philosophy extends to my dogs (and other pets) and using natural remedies, food and health products are an important part of the way I take care of my menagerie.

Here are just a few of the reasons for using natural remedies:

• Many chemicals are carcinogenic, or can cause organ damage.
  
  
• Artificial additives, colorings and chemicals can cause allergic reactions of all sorts... from digestive upsets to chronic skin problems or worse.
  
  
• Lots of medications/drugs can have dangerous side-effects that might even be worse than the condition they're being used to treat.
  
  
• A natural, properly balanced diet has a hugely positive impact on health. It can strengthen the immune system, minimize allergies, enhance overall health and even lengthen life-spans.
  
  
• Most natural products are environmentally friendly in some, or several, ways.... procuring ingredients, manufacturing process, packaging and so on
  

So, now you have an idea of why it's a good idea to 'go natural', let's take a look at some of the best natural health products for dogs on the market right now.

Natural Dog Vitamins

Feeding a premium dog food will go a long way towards making sure that your pet gets all the nutrients he needs to stay happy and healthy.

But sometimes he still needs a little extra help.... maybe he's a breed who has a predisposition to joint problems, is older and experiencing a touch or arthritis, his coat or skin isn't in tip-top shape, his immune system needs a little 'boost'.... or any number of other reasons.

When that happens, the right all-natural vitamin or mineral supplement can really help. Here are  a few that you might want to check out:

Natural Eye & Ear Care For Dogs

Your puppy or dog's ears and eyes can get irritated easily. Dust, pollen, loose hair, grass, allergies, and even ear mites can all cause inflammation and/or itchiness.

Natural Flea Control For Dogs

Fleas and ticks are very, very common and these parasites don't just make your dog itchy and miserable... they can set up allergies, even cause serious illnesses.

So, it's important to protect your precious pooch from an infestation.

There are lots of very effective flea & tick medications that use chemicals to kill and repel these nasty little critters.

They can have side-effects, but if you live in the country, or an area where there are many fleas/ticks, then I'd personally recommend using only a product recommended or prescribed by your vet.

If you're a city dweller or in a part of the country where fleas and ticks aren't a big problem, then there are safer, natural alternatives that can be used for minor flea problems.

Natural Remedies For Canine Anxiety

Your pup can get anxious and nervous for lots of reasons!

Perhaps he hates thunderstorms.... or car travel.... or has separation anxiety issues or.... ?

Whatever the reason for his nerves, you'll want to help him calm down and relax as safely and quickly as possible. That way you'll ALL feel better.

Here are a handful of natural products that you can use to treat anxious behavior in your dog...

Natural Dog Skin Care Products

Does your pet suffer from dry, itchy skin? Rashes, hot spots or irritated/inflamed areas caused by allergies? Is his coat dull or dry?

Some of these issues cause discomfort or pain... and incessant scratching or licking can lead to infection.

Others can mean that he doesn't look his best, or be a sign of underlying dietary deficiency or even illness.

If your pooch is generally healthy but has some minor skin problems, one (or more) of these products could help him feel better...
