I agree. This is right up there with garlic being toxic to dogs. IT'S NOT! You would have to feed a whole lot of garlic for toxicity. I've been giving aloe vera to my dogs for years! It's incredibly helpful for the gut and I give a lot more than what people here give.

Re: Trying Turmeric, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil for Lipoma on Dog

Annabel (Northumberland) on 01/08/2025

Did the castor oil work? My cat has a large lipoma that I want to try castor oil on.....I make a paste with coconut oil. I have read that it's not good to ingest too much castor oil, so just half a teaspoon mixed with a tablespoon of castor oil. The problem is that she licks it all straight off.....of course. Can anyone help or advise, please. I am so wanting to help her.

I read somewhere that Turmeric can kill MRSA. Make a paste with water and paste it on the infection. Not sure what to do if its internal. Just make sure that its a good quality with 95% curcumin..

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Katzie (Cancun, MÃ©xico ) on 01/06/2025
5 out of 5 stars

I run a shelter and swear by Ted's Remedy! And when one has symptoms, I watch the rest very closely for any symptoms starting. Dogs "mouth" each other alot during play and I have seen them pass it to each other this way. If your new doggos show symptoms, no problem simply start treating them, too. Whether it can spread depends on whether it's demodex or sarcoptic mange, but here at the shelter, I do not care what type they have; I treat immediately. That being said, since you've already started treatment, those mites are on the run, and nothing may get passed along at all. I have been treating rescue#6 for a month now and none of the others started showing any symptoms at all. So I would say keep with the treatments and keep a very close eye on the others, but they will probably be okay.

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Have you tried ivermectin? It cures mange quite rapidly. I have put it in eggs or donuts for the wild foxes, worked like a charm.

Borax and Peroxide for Mange

Marylynn (Blaine, Washington) on 12/30/2024

My little Howie has terrible skin & losing his hair for about six years now. It's been awful & I have spent hundreds & hundreds for tests, vet treatments that don't work and I am so tired of the suffering & itching with little improvement. I just did her first treatment with Ted's recipe & it helped a lot because he quit itching and is more comfortable, so I will keep going with it. There are no mites that I can tell, just lots & lots of mold on his legs & body, with some on his face & head. Wondering if this is contagious as we have a small shit-zu coming to live with us in a few days as my friend passed & it was her dog. Worried this may affect him as well? I will keep up with the plan because it seems the borax really helped with the itching so he is more comfortable. He sleeps with us & we don't itch & I keep his bedding really clean as well. But does anyone know if it is contagious?

Re: Noni Juice Cured Dog After He Ate Poisoned Possum

Dano (Ontario) on 12/29/2024

In all cases of poisoning, Activated Charcoal is the usual first go-to. It is not effective for absolutely every thyp of poison, but it is effective for most, and the sooner it is given the better results you get. Always good to have some on hand. I'm glad your dog made it.

Re: Noni Juice Cured Dog After He Ate Poisoned Possum

Awesome! I have known the health benefits of Non Juice for a very long time but couldn't stomach the taste of pure Non Juice at that time and forgot about it. Now, a new rescue who was very weak to begin with, got food poison from a Golden Coral steak. (who knows what they soak it in to make it taste good) After 6 days of refusing food and water and very heavy and laborious breathing, I thought he would not survive. I gave him a little ACV diluted with water (10 drops ACV with 15 drops water) with a syringe, 4 times a day. He took it well. He is a little terrier, ways about 8 pounds and is very skinny. It brought his appetite back and he drank some raw organic milk and asked for more. I gave him also some cooked pastured chicken with broth, which he also took very well. I think he is over the worst now and I belief he will survive. However, I have ordered organic Noni juice for my 15 yr old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, my rescued terrier and myself. I will try the diluted in water version and see how it is received. The health benefits are truly enormous and proven. But the ACV really did save his life. Hope this helps. Here is a link to a website I like.

Bananas for Elderly Dogs

Benita (Boston MA) on 12/26/2024
5 out of 5 stars

My elderly dog (one of my five furbabies) tends to be very low energy due to his heart valve regurgitation (MVVD). One of the things that really seems to give him energy is supplementing his diet with a bit of banana daily. He is a small dog so I slice up an inch or two of banana for him to eat. (For a large dog you might give more). That's all it takes. The next day he's "full of beans"!

In addition to this, I give all of my dogs healthy real foods along with their dry food diet. So chopped apples and carrots, broccoli, yogurt, coconut, a small amount of cheese, etc. But bananas consistently give him the most energy!

Re: Dogs With Mange

Hello. I just wanted to add here that keeping a dog in a tub for 30 mins does not sound easy. No bathtubs here at my house, so I sponge-bathed my dogs with the solution 3 times over the infected areas, which took one minute, then leave them to air dry. This works like a charm, every time. You want to get the skin wet, but it doesn't really need to soak the dog for 1/2 hr to work.

Diatomaceous Earth for Dog's Deep Infection on Nose

Katzie (Cancun, MÃ©xico ) on 12/22/2024
5 out of 5 stars

Here at my shelter, one of the dogs developed a huge infection on the side of his nose. He snored terribly, had constant leakage of mucous mixed with a little blood and sneezed alot. He mostly stays outside (he's a street dog), but comes in a couple of times a day for an hour or two, and always comes walking with us, but no leash for him; he will not have it, he wants to be free. So I started using homemade garlic l at first and it was working. After a couple of weeks I tried using dmso on the area as well. He did not like that and wouldn't let me anywhere his nose for weeks. I then started using Diamotaceous Earth on it. For 2 days I threw the powder on his nose and he never reacted since he couldn't feel it and didn't know what I was doing. On the 3rd day he came in for food&water and that is when I noticed that the skin over the infection was literally peeling off! For most of one day he had a stream of mucous-y pus coming out of the area, it was a river of it. When I saw him the next morning, there was not one little bit of infection left! It was clean, pink, and left a deep cavity in his poor nose. I could literally see into his nasal cavity. I used some D.E. on it for one week til the wound closed. He is just fine now, and many people told me he'd probably die since it was so close to his brain. D.E. is said to have a tiny electrical charge on them. I believe this to be true as it draws infections out, easily, no matter how big or how deep. D.E. saved that dog's life, all for the cost of about $1.

Re: Diatomaceous Earth For Pets With Parasites

Since food grade diatomaceous earth is 84 to 95 percent opal silica it is the silica that is a mechanical wormer and it kills all parasites as they cannot avoid the silica in any way since it goes to every single cell in your body. For bad parasitic infections you will need at least double the usual dose to get the desired outcome. There are standard doses and then there are therapeutic doses and the higher dose is what works best. It takes time to kill something as big as a tapeworm but if you stick to daily DE it will kill them in time. Consistency is key.

Re: Aloe Vera and Garlic for Pets

Pam E. (SW California) on 12/18/2024

It also lists Garlic as toxic (assuming it is just as toxic as onions), but Garlic has only a very tiny amount of the toxic substance that onions have ... and it would take a HUGE amount to cause any trouble! DVM Doctors Andrew Jones and Karen Becker both wrote articles that explain where the erroneous idea that it is toxic came from, and why we should not believe it ...

Re: Vitamin C, Turmeric, Manuka Honey for Pyometra

RagingFire (Philippines) on 12/11/2024

I suggest that you use it "forever" if you can. I used it for 3 months straight and discharge on my dog was gone. I stopped it after that, after 2 years my dog had discharge again. This time I just went to the vet and had her operation. The operation usually cost 30k PHP, plus the hospital admission charges and medicines after the operation.net cost is around 50k PHP, 860 USD if converted.

Vitamin C, Turmeric, Manuka Honey for Pyometra in Dog

RagingFire (Philippines) on 12/10/2024
4 out of 5 stars

I tried this on my dog, it only worked temporarily. It stopped the discharged for about 2 years. The discharge came back after 2 years. I think this is a 50/50 thing. If you are short on money, you can try this, but do not expect it to work miraculously. On my situation I managed to buy time, and save some cash for the operation. I treated her with just the turmeric and ordinary honey, no vitamin c included. I did this everyday for 3 months, the discharge was gone. As I said after 2 years, the discharge came back. Luckily I have enough money for the operation around that time. Good Luck, and hope your dog gets through.

Dogs have a different digestive system than humans and may not be able to tolerate spicy foods like cayenne pepper. It is best to avoid feeding your dog spicy foods to prevent the potential health issues.

Cayenne pepper contains a compound called capsaicin, which gives it its spicy flavor. When ingested by dogs, capsaicin can cause a range of symptoms, including : vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, abdominal pain, and In severe cases it can lead to much more serious health issues such as respiratory distress, seizures, and organ damage!

What Happens If A Dog Eats Cayenne Pepper? ...................................................................

https://vetexplainspets.com/what-happens-if-a-dog-eats-cayenne-pepper/

Seek veterinary care immediately if you notice any of these symptoms in your dog.

The amount of cayenne pepper that is toxic to dogs can vary, so It is best to consult with a veterinarian if you suspect your dog has ingested cayenne pepper.

I have posted this here before, so sorry if this is boring to regular readers.

I used to volunteer at Dog Shelters, and now have my own. I've seen paralyzed dogs (after being hit by a car), treated with DMSO and walking again. Please invest the time and read the DMSO threads here. You'll like what you read. Best of luck!
