Attention Pet Parents: The cure for many minor health ailments may be right in your own kitchen cupboard. If you’ve gone to your local pet store or vet’s office looking for medications to treat common conditions, you know the creams, supplements, pills, and medicated washes are pricey. So before you shell out lots of dough, here are a few tried and true home remedies that may do the trick. I recommend all dog owners keep these essentials in their home.
100% Canned Pumpkin: (organic if possible) Canned pumpkin is wonderful for treating diarrhea, constipation, or an upset tummy. It’s a gentle, soothing, soluble fiber that can also be used as a healthy, tasty, treat. I always stock up during the fall when all the markets have it on sale. It’s harder to find and much more expensive if you need it during the month of July. You can put a few servings in the fridge and freeze the rest in an ice cube tray. Once it’s frozen, pop cubes in a freezer bag, thaw, and use as needed. Give your dog 1 tsp. for every 10lbs of body weight, 1–2 times a day. Organic ingredients are always preferable. Typically they have higher vitamin and mineral content and are far less processed.
