Keeping a pet healthy means mirroring all the things done to keep you healthy, just on a pet scale. This means ensuring that your dog, cat or any other animal kept in captivity is treated in the same manner. Meaning it should eat a balanced healthy meal free from any additives or food that might make it ill, such as the most common and widely spread example of the relationship between dogs and chocolate.
Not only is the exercise good for them but it allows them to get some much needed fresh air, make use of their senses and experience and communicate with other animals through scent patterns left behind. For cat owners, this could be a little tricky due to their independent spirit but whatever means can be used to get them moving should be considered, as long as it s a trail of unhealthy treats.
Another commonly used herb that deserves a mention is Peppermint. Besides it s minty taste on culinary goods, the herb itself does wonders for dogs who happen to be car sick or feel nauseous. It s not a cure for the ailment but it does help keep it under control. Other uses include help with bowel syndrome, use as an anti inflammatory and an antiseptic. The most important thing to remember however, is that dogs noses are extremely sensitive so care must be taken care on how they are used and not overpower their senses.
Peppermint is another great herb with mystical powers for the pet in need. Peppermint has an array of uses mainly but not limited to; fighting off the onset of nausea and car sickness. Of course it varies depending on an animals state of health but if these issues continue to persist, consult a vet urgently.
Furthermore, taking your pooch or whatever pet you may have for a walk may do it some good. Not only does it become healthier overtime but how these animals interact with the world is quite different from us as they mostly make use of all their other senses.
Keep the mouth of your pet, regardless of its species clean, more specifically its teeth.
Your pet usually interacts with the world with its mouth so try and keep it clean at all times in order to prevent a breeding ground for bacteria. These natural ways of keeping your pet healthy are some of the best courses of action for those avoiding pills and such for their pets.
