Instinctively, it seems like a bad idea to let your dog romp on a lawn that's just been sprayed with chemical pesticides. But now there's actual proof that pesticide-treated lawns can increase a dog's risk of developing at least one type of cancer. In this particular study, only the risk of bladder cancer was assessed.
Homeopathy seems to work as well for dogs as it does for people. We've been using this gentle and effective form of healing with our own Cocker Spaniel, ever since we adopted him from a shelter. This is true medicine and it's saved us on a number of occasions from unnecessary trips to the vet.
A couple of years ago, our vet noticed that our middle-aged/elderly dog might have a heart murmur. However, she couldn't really tell because he was so upset at being in a place where other dogs were barking. Bringing him back in for another exam when he was calmer was not an option, because he's never going to relax at the vet.
Is your dog's breath bad enough to knock you over? This is a very common problem, caused by a variety of factors. One of them is the nature of what a dog eats. Much of it doesn't smell good, and, consequently, will leave a not-so-pleasant aroma in his mouth.However, bad breath can also be caused by dental disease.
A growing number of natural health supplements for dogs are now available online. Some of the best ones are homeopathic formulas, designed for specific conditions. That's because homeopathy has the ability to bring about deep healing. So, in addition to providing symptom relief, it can help correct the problem.
The first time I ever saw an elevated dog bowl was at a friend's house. Our friends have been blessed with many material means, so, naturally, they want to do the best for their large breed dog. I was curious as to why their dog was eating from a raised bowl, as I'd never seen one before.
