When we don’t feel well we know how to inform others around us to get the care we need. And we can rely on home made things like making chicken soup for ourselves. But when our pet friends don’t feel well we panic because we often lack the knowledge of what we can do to help Pet Health.
Why we care so much pet health for our pets, our best friends.
Here at Morning Mountain we are out in the semi-wilderness and it is easy for our dogs to get into things. We watch them and make sure they are vaccinated on time, but it is still easy for them to come home with some sort of malady based on their excursions around their invisible-fenced yard. And yes, at Morning Mountain we have them vaccinated for snake bite. Rattlers are not unusual and we want to protect the dogs: the snake vacc basically buys us time. It lets us get them to the vet before anything truly serious happens. Know that it is important to know the signs of snakebite (and the signs of other issues and encounters) and be sure to have your vet’s number on speed dial.
Home Remedies for Dogs
To keep your pet safe, practice home remedies until you can get to the vet, and keep some things on hand. We always keep a few cans of sweet potatoes on the back shelf in the pantry just as an emergency if our canine friends come back inside having gotten into something that makes them sick. And you know the importance of being able to do something to help them, quickly. If you have fresh sweet potatoes in the pantry, you can even microwave one quickly and you let it cool. Firstly, it calms their stomachs. Second, it is so beneficial for them in vitamins and nutrients. And it is a treat that they will eat happily even if they are not sick. If your furry friend’s stomach is bloated, go to the vet and don’t anticipate that home remedies alone will help.
Fixing the Right Food
If they are not interested in food try various options. A good trick is to mix canned or fresh cooked – but never raw – sweet potato with cooked and cooled rice. Importantly, do not fry the sweet potato or rice. This combination will sustain them. It will either help them get over what may be a stomach ailment. Or. help give you time to get them to your vet. And you know that feeding them sweet potato is also good for their eyes, their coats, and muscle health. When their coats are looking dull, add some to their food.
Other beneficial home treatments include ginger. I always keep a bit of fresh ginger in the fridge and it has helped soothe a dog tummy a number of times. You can put basil in their food as a way to fight bacteria – for example if they have a skin wound. I also like to use Rosemary, which is one of my favorite herbs for humans as well. For good coats, I like to use Omega-3 and am always on the lookout for quality dog food that has it as one of the ingredients. (And our Goldens love to get bits of salmon in their supper, too.)

Skunk Odor Remover
Sometimes our furry friends come home smelling, well, horrible. Our dogs came home one day after playing in the nearby field smelling like skunk. Our dogs love chasing a stick we toss into the lake and “retrieving it” into the worst area of mud. As you know; the stink. And a friend’s cat was exploring under a tree in their front yard and came in contact with a resident skunk.
For those “oh no” moments, be sure to keep another pet supply on hand: 3% hydrogen peroxide. There has been a nation-wide shortage in this must-have product over the past couple of years. Do be sure to stock up at the grocery store or pharmacy. You’ll need a quart per furry friend. You’ll also want that kitchen staple, baking soda. For this, I keep a box right next to the hydrogen peroxide. Because you will want a half cup of it mixed into the hydrogen peroxide. Add a squirt of dishwashing detergent and start sponging your dog or cat or other furry friend. After they are soaked down with it, consider putting the rest of the mixture in a spray bottle to spray the air around you. Your room will immediately smell skunk-free. Give your dog or cat a gentle bath with their regular soap afterwards. They’ll thank you and everyone around will thank you!
Products that Help Our Pets
Not all products that are made for Pets are necessarily where we should be looking for products that help out pets. This is where things come into using best judgement for our special (sometimes only) true friends.
DOG TOYS
Does your dog have enough dog toys? Five? Ten? Fifteen? A crateful? Do you have leftover toys for visiting dogs? If you answer yes, you are so doing the right thing. If you answer maybe, think about stocking up on a few more through this great membership partner!
