Finding the Cause of Puppy Vomiting Makes Treatment Easy

Is your puppy vomiting? Acute vomiting, that is a one-off occurrence, that is quickly over, may not be much to worry about. But if your puppy vomits frequently, then you do have cause for concern.

Puppies and young dogs up til about two years of age, are into everything. They experience life to the full. They are learning fast and want to be stimulated.

This means they can also try to eat everything. As they are growing, they have a high nutrient need. They need quality food. Quality food that mimics their evolutionary history.

Let’s see what that means.

Dogs are pack animals. And they work within a strong hierarchy. This means that the alpha pair get the choicest parts of the kill, the lower ranking members come next and the puppies come last. Often wild puppies are only left with the bones of the carcass.

This may sound harsh, but stop and consider for a moment. Puppies are growing fast. This means they need a lot of bone food, amongst other things. What better bone food than bone itself?

If you feed your puppy lots of manageable sized, raw bones, at least one a day, then you will be reducing the need for him to try to eat everything. This may stop the main reason your puppy is vomiting.

Vomiting is a purging. The body is trying to get rid of something that can do harm. Such as food poisoning. So if your puppy is vomiting regularly, look at the most likely cause.

The food you are feeding him.

If this is a commercial brand, then you are not only starving him, as the quality is usually very poor, you are also poisoning him with a chemical cocktail. The chemicals put into pet food are highly toxic and would never be allowed in human food, regardless of any claim made on the packet.

By feeding your puppy a quality, homemade diet, ingredients that you have control over, you may well totally cure why your puppy vomits.

In the short term, you can assist your puppy vomiting, to quickly rid his toxic load, by giving him the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album. This assists the body in purging anything unwanted. It’s a wonderful medicine to have in your first aid kit, with so many uses, not least of all for vomiting.

Pet Allergies Are a Sign Your Pet’s Immune System is Struggling

What is the cause of pet allergies? Once you know this, the treatment is easy. But, if you don’t know the cause, then the treatment is, at best a band aid, at worse, will further deteriorate your pet’s immune system.

Let me tell you why this is the case.

If you are driving down the highway and your red oil warning light comes on, what do you do?

You have two options.

The first one is that you can stop and get help to find the cause of the problem. This can be inconvenient and take time.

The other option is to keep driving, hoping for the best. It may be nothing, in which case you get to your destination on time. But it may be serious, in which case your engine may seize a few kilometres down the road, causing you much more inconvenience, lost time and much more money.

So finding the cause of an allergy in your pet is going to help bring back their overall health to how it was or more likely better, than before the allergies started.

Any illness, including allergies, are a sign of a compromised immune system. If your pet has a strong immunity, they will be healthy and able to throw off even the most serious virus, bacteria or other pathogen.

One of the most important areas that can easily compromise an immune system and so create pet allergies, is the food your feed your pet.

Even the ‘best’ processed pet food is very low grade, very nutrient poor, so your pet is likely to be deficient in many of the most essential nutrients.

Processed pet food consists of high fat, waste meat by-products, road kill and more that you probably don’t want to know about. Then a cheap filler is used to bulk out the food. Then toxic preservatives, which are not allowed in human food, are used to give the ‘food’ a long shelf life.

Packets look great, but its the contents you need to know about.

By feeding your pet good quality (human grade) raw food, you are instantly giving their immune system a boost.

Treating pet allergies from the cause up, means less hassle in the long run, less expense and a much happier pet.

Diarrhea in Dogs - Looking for the Cause

Diarrhea in dogs is an indication that your dog is ingesting something that is doing a great deal of harm. Both diarrhea and vomiting is a purging of the body. It is a good sign. It means you need to look at the cause, not the effect.

Diarrhea in dogs can be acute or chronic. An acute bout means that it occurs just the once and is resolved quickly. It may have been caused by eating something that is harmful, such as food poisoning.

Dogs have what I call ‘cast iron stomachs’. That is they are omnivores and can eat anything. Anything natural, that is. They can east rotting and decaying meat with impunity. They can eat a purely vegetarian diet, no problem. They can survive on a diet of earthworms in times of scarcity.

Dogs are very adaptable. To natural fluctuations and food. But not to man made problems.

Chronic diarrhea is when the condition keeps recurring, or never goes away completely. It comes about because they are constantly ingesting something that is harming their health.

And the most likely offender to this is the food you are feeding them. Processed, commercial dog food is highly toxic and nutrient poor. It doesn’t matter what the claims are on the packet, most of them are simply legal through careful wording, rather than actually truthful.

There are two things you can do to resolve diarrhea in dogs.

1. the first thing is to switch the food you are feeding your dog from a commercial brand to a quality homemade one
2. and the second thing to do is to purchase the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album

This medicine is absolutely fabulous at assisting the body in expelling any toxins from the body. It may increase the purging over a short period, but you will notice that your dog is happier. Who wouldn’t be after dumping a toxic load?

It’s important to keep an eye out for dehydration with any amount of purging. A healthy dog will keep up their liquid intake. An unhealthy dog may not be able to address this themselves.

To quickly resolve diarrhea in dogs, either in the acute or chronic form, will prevent any problems that may develop because of it. But you need to assist their body in doing this, rather than in suppressing the symptoms.

Allergy Relief For Dogs - the Holistic Way

Allergy relief for dogs is all about finding out the cause. Why does your dog have allergies and not the one down the road?

If you can find the cause, then the solution is easy.

Any illness of any living being is a direct result of a compromised immune system.

If your dog’s immunity is low, then he’s likely to suffer much more than just allergies. Maybe not now, but assuredly, later in life.

The best way to treat any illness or disease for permanent resolution, is to focus on the immune system. If you simply focus on allergy relief for dogs, then you’re missing the whole point of disease.

Think holistically.

One of the most common things dogs do is eat. So look at the quality of the food you provide. If it’s a commercial brand of processed food, then I suggest this could be the biggest cause.

Processed pet food is very low in quality. It’s nutrient poor.

• The meat is normally high fat content and meat by-products (hooves, intestines and their contents, .road kill, euthanised pets, etc).
• This is then padded out by cheap filler such as sugar, melamine, sawdust, crushed nut shells, etc.
• Then a toxic preservative is added to ensure the product has a long shelf life (despite the label). Substances that would never be allowed in human food.

Do those ingredients sound like a healthy diet for your dog?

You can ensure your dog’s good health, by taking control of his diet. This is not as difficult as may think. In fact, once you have done it for a week, you just keep repeating it.

Feeding home made food is not expensive either. Although the raw ingredients are more expensive, you give less, as it’s nutrient rich.

And consider the visits to the veterinarian and the antihistamine that you don’t have to purchase.

It all adds up to a win-win situation.

So instead of looking for allergy relief for dogs, focus instead on what is the most likely cause of it. Address than, and the allergy goes on its own.

Dog Allergies and How to Treat Them in Two Easy Steps

Dog allergies seem to be on the increase. They itch, they scratch in the middle of the night, keeping you awake. Their skin gets eruptions that may or may not weep. They sneeze. They get diarrhoea. You have to be careful about foods. Veterinary care becomes expensive. All very inconvenient for your dog. But also for you.

Why should there be such an increase in dog allergies?

There really is only one reason.

And that is because their immune system is badly compromised. And this is caused by two things that you can start to address right away.

If you are feeding your dog a commercial pet food, that is one of the main reasons s/he has allergies. Most commercial pet foods, including most of the big names, are nutrient poor and chemically high. What do I mean by that?

Commercial pet food manufacturers are primarily chasing a fat profit. As there are no laws (at least no laws which work) in any country that I know of, anything goes.

The meat is of poor quality - hooves, dead and diseased animals, high fat content, etc. Then it’s padded out with a cheap filler such as sugar, melamine, corn, etc with no regard for the suitability of the food to the animal.

Isolated and synthetic ‘nutrients’ are added to try to redress the low quality. These nutrients are often impossible to digest and can cause harm later on.

Then preservatives and colours are added. Even if the packet claims to have no preservatives, all that means is that the pet food manufacturer didn’t add the preservative. But it could have been added at the rendering plant, where the ‘meat’ was purchased.

These preservatives are highly toxic and would never be permitted in human food. Preservatives such as ethoxyquin.

Is it any wonder that dog allergies abound now?

The other reason for their high incidence is that they are given so many vaccines, now. Vaccines have the opposite effect that many think - it knocks the immune system for six.

So if you can start feeding your dog real food, preferably raw, you’ll go a long way to cure his allergies.

And if you take him to an holistic vet who uses homeopathy, they will be able to undo some of the vaccine damage. Enough, perhaps, to improve his immune system to the point where he doesn’t have any allergies at all.

Once you know the cause of dog allergies, it’s easy to take measure to correct them.Dog Allergies and How to Treat Them in Two Easy Steps

The Secret to Dog Potty Training in One Easy Step

One of the biggest problems people have with the dog potty training of indoor puppies is thinking too much about what it means to them (ie the mess to be cleared up) and not enough about where the puppy is coming from.

Obviously, this is understandable. But by focussing on this aspect, you tend to miss the main contributing factor.

If you are doing all the right things such as:

• taking the puppy outside periodically
• making a great fuss when he does perform outside
• and ignoring the ‘bad’ performances inside

but still your puppy seems a bit slow to grasp the idea, you may be unconsciously contributing to this.

So lets have a look at what most people do with a puppy when they first bring him home. The puppy is confined to a small area, often the bathroom or laundry, particularly at night, on his own.

Now lets take a look at the wild dog’s family, and so where your new puppy comes from. You can immediately see that they always remain as a family unit. Wild dogs never put a puppy in isolation, or solitary confinement, which is what this amounts to.

Dogs are pack animals. They are gregarious by nature. Isolating a youngster can cause enormous emotional trauma, which does nothing to help in your efforts at dog potty training or your future relationship and trust.

Couple that with the recent trauma he has already suffered of being separated from his mother, often at too early an age, as well as his siblings. If you have bought your puppy from a pet shop, this will have happened. Young puppies are more appealing to us, so tend to be taken from their mothers much too early. But their mothers play a key role in dogs development.

A traumatised puppy will become more and more concerned (whether or not he shows it - some internalise their emotions just as some humans do), becoming more and more anxious.

And so the potty training goes out the window - he is far more concerned about being accepted by his new family. How can he make you like him better?

And you become more and more frustrated and so irritable towards your puppy. It’s an endless spiral. It’s up to you to put an end to it.

Understand your puppy’s needs and everything will start slipping easily into place.

By keeping your puppy with you at all times, he will become confident and balanced and able to learn what you gently try to teach him. You take over his mother’s teaching and bonding role.

One way to avoid the mess and keep your puppy close by, is to section off a part of the room you are in (including your bedroom), to confine him and the mess. Put lots of newspaper or wee pads down. You might have an old toddler mobile play unit, that you can move around the house with you. Or buy a second-hand one.

You’ll find that your dog potty training will progress much more easily, because you’re not creating any separation anxiety. Not only that, but your puppy will be much easier to train, because you have created a close bond with him. He trusts you. You have proved to him you are his family. You have understood his basic needs.
