There are several natural remedies that can help with common pet ailments. Here are a few examples:
-
Upset stomach: Plain, canned pumpkin can help soothe an upset stomach and aid in digestion.
-
Fleas and ticks: A mixture of apple cider vinegar and water can be used as a natural flea and tick repellent when sprayed on your pet's fur. Additionally, regularly washing your pet's bedding can help keep fleas at bay.
-
Anxiety: Some pets benefit from the use of calming herbs such as chamomile or valerian root. You can find these in supplement form or as part of calming treats.
-
Skin irritations: Oatmeal baths can help soothe itchy skin, while coconut oil can be applied topically to moisturize and soothe irritations.
