Holistic Help for Dogs with Allergies
One of the many health problems Scooter came to me with included skin allergies. When this little Beagle got on a scratching binge it sounded like a small helicopter was taking off in the next room as the thump thump thump of his hind leg hit the floor in record speed.
Natural Cure for Dog Ear Infections
It’s amazing that a dog can have an ear infection and their human can be totally oblivious to it for quite some time. A few weeks ago I had called Jeremy up onto the bed for a little snuggle session.

Dog ear mites can be really common, and most puppies actually come with ear mites, but when your adult dog household contracts ear mites, I discovered that you need a fast acting herbal remedy to help control them. Otherwise, they simply pass the mites back and forth between each other which is really quite maddening.
