In the majority of situations they achieve good results with out dangerous or disagreeable side-effects. These days there is little reason to subject your four-legged friend to aggressive pharmaceutical drug drugs because natural pet therapies are proving to be so beneficial.
I am a big fan of Dr Andrew Jones Author: Veterinary Secrets Revealed and his natural remedy way of healing pets. In his years as a practicing Veterinarian he found many ways to heal pets without subjecting them to the harsh side effects of accepted practices and drugs.
And Dr. Jones does not keep this information to himself but freely shares it so we can keep our own pets healthy and happy for a longer life.
I just received and email from Dr Andrew Jones that I feel is critical info for any cat owner to have and am including the bulk of his message here:
Hello Gerry,
Re: Medication Side Effects
I was having a conversation with a pet owner about using a few different herbs for recurrent bladder inflammation in her cat, along with allergies and arthritis in her dog.
They were *worried* about the herbal side effects.
And the worry came from news reports about some one having a reaction to a herb..
BUT..
That's the News Media- NOT reality.
The Media love to play to our fears.
There are THOUSANDS of conventional drug reactions in dogs and cats daily.
Because they are SO common, it's not Newsworthy.
Let's take for example the some of the CONVENTIONAL medication to treat recurrent bladder inflammation in cats
---------------------------Amitriptyline ( Elavil) ---------------------------
It is an anti-anxiety medication, which affects the bladder.
Some of the common side effects:
drowsiness and sedation dry mouth urinary retention constipation liver disease Heart rhythm disturbance
In fact the heart affects are such a concern that some Veterinarians now advise an EKG screening first.
I suspect that many of you with cats have been on this medication, and never been made aware of ALL the potential side effects.
-------------------Then there is the Herbal option.. -------------------
DANDELION. A key diuretic which will draw additional water into the urinary tract. The simple act of flushing the bladder will help in many cases of FLUTD.
HERBAL TEA RELIEF. Astringent anti-inflammatory herbs of UVA URSI along with soothing properties of MARSHMALLOW will eliminate many cases of FLUTD. In all cases this will benefit your pet -feed a herbal tea combination, 1 teaspoon per 10 lbs twice daily.
The potentional side effects of Dandelion are virtually ZERO.
It won't damage the liver, cause constipation or heart failure.
BUT it's unknown- so we worry.
You should REALLY be more concerned about the supposed safe drugs regularly used on your dogs and cats.
Such as Amitryptiline Prednisone Anti-inflammatories;
such as Rimadyl Vaccines to supposedly prevent disease;
Antibiotic side effects and resistance InsecticidesP.S. Steroids such as prednisone are the MOST commonly prescribed drug for Allergies.
Here is a PARTIAL list of side effects:
* increased blood sugar ( diabetes)
* weight gain
* facial swelling
* depression, mania,
* unusual fatigue or weakness
* blurred vision
* abdominal pain
* peptic ulcer
* infections
* painful hips or shoulders
* Steroid-induced osteoporosis
* severe joint pain
* cataracts
* anxiety
* black stool
* stomach pain or bloating
* severe swelling
* mouth sores or dry mouth
* avascular necrosis
* acne
* rash
* increased appetite
* hyperactivity
* frequent urination
* diarrhea
* removes intestinal flora
* leg pain
* sensitive teeth

Be aware of your pet's health.

Whenever you do need to treat your pet, pick all-natural and herbal remedies to be sure you're taking a gentle approach to your pet's situation. Minimize the use of strong medicinal drugs that can induce major unintended effects long term.
All natural dog remedies are easy to find all over the internet but it is not always easy to know precisely what treatment is most beneficial to buy. Some of the cat and dog foods are filled with artificial ingredients that can harm and even kill the animal. Make it a point to check ingredients and buy just those pet foods you've researched yourself and found to be made using healthy, wholesome ingredients. Quite often changing to a natural diet, rather then commercial dog food, will cause a vast enchancment in your dog's health.
Most of the very best natural pet remedies are offered on line. Take a look at some of the products referenced on our site for a place to begin. It might appear a bit difficult to find beneficial natural products but if you do just a little exploration you can find all the natural pet remedies you need. Many cost a little more than the items at the supermarket, but isn't your four-legged friend worth the cost?
