The trend to live healthier extends to finding natural home remedies for dogs for a good number of pet owners. The massive dog food recalls of recent years inspired many pet owners to start seeking out safe and healthy alternative products with fewer chemicals and toxins known to be harmful to dogs.
However, wading through a massive amount of contradictory misinformation left many understandably confused as to which products would actually be safe and effective. With so many product suppliers jumping on the bandwagon, it can be quite difficult to tell who is legitimate and who is looking to make a quick buck.
Even commercial pet product suppliers have gotten in on the market for natural remedies for dogs. Because it is labeled with a name they recognize and trust, many pet owners opt for these products without ever really looking at the ingredients label. They take in good faith that a product that has the words ‘wholesome’ or ‘natural ingredients’ on it means it will be safe for their dog.
However, this is not always the case. It is an old and common practice to dupe consumers into buying products based on false claims. This is especially true when it comes to pet foods and pet products.
As stated by Dr. Lisa Freeman, DVM, in her article, Nutrition, “…there is no legal definition of ‘all natural‘. Manufacturers define products by what they believe these terms mean.”
Home Remedies for Dogs With Allergies
Pet owners looking for true home remedies for dog skin allergies first need to understand that as long as their canine companions continue to eat from cans or bags, there is little point in relying on such treatments.
Commercial pet foods are rife with chemicals that batter a dog’s immune system on a daily basis. Even if a remedy has some effect, it will only be temporary since a compromised immune system is an ever open door for illness. Therefore, the best option for getting and keeping a dog healthy naturally is to boost and reinforce its immune system by feeding a natural diet based around the simple core ingredients of raw meat and bone.
