More and more pet owners are enjoying the health benefits of a more "natural" lifestyle for their pets. We've seen an increase in the number of pet owners who feed holistic, raw and home-cooked diets. And, we're also seeing a higher propensity toward those pet owners who prefer homeopathic treatments.
Please note: Brown Dog Foundation encourages you to discuss all pros and cons to homeopathic treatment with your Veterinarian before you make the decision to give it a try. Make an informed decision.
Flea Spray: - Dizzy's Dog Wash has an easy to make, all natural flea spray that works wonders! No chemicals.
Mosquito Spray: More rosemary than you know what to do with? add to pot of water w/lemon slices, simmer for 30ish minutes, put in spritzing bottle, & use as natural mosquito deterrent for you & your pets. - Camp Chaos 37206
** This spray will repel mosquitos, however, it does not protect your pet from Heartworm Disease which is transferred through a bite from an infected mosquito.
Urinary Tract Health: Every dog I've ever owned has urinary tract issues. We use the Cranberry Relief supplement. It comes in a powder form and is easy for the dogs to take (I just sprinkle it on their food).
Storm Anxiety: - The Thundershirt is amazing! My pittie is terribly afraid during storms. Whether lightning, thunder or just rain - he gets very agitated (recently going so far as to grind his nose into the carpet leaving it raw and bleeding). He's now markedly calmer within 30 minutes of putting on the Thundershirt!
Travel Anxiety: My dogs are nervous in the car and since we drive 9 hours a couple times each year to visit Brown Dog Foundation's second chapter, we had to do something. My groomer, Style Unleashed, suggested placing a few drops of Lavender Extract on the car seat/dog pillows. Both dogs instantly relaxed and slept comfortably throughout the entire drive!
