Sis, based on this article, http://ezinearticles.com/?Ten-Dangerous-Dog-Foods-Your-Shih-Tzu-(Or-Any-Other-Dog-For-That-Matter)-Should-Never-Eat&id=2826782 harmful ang garlic sa dogs. We never know, sa ngayon di pa nagkakaron ng bad effect pero baka later on, di ba?Anyway, Frontline spray helped a lot in removing ticks from my shih tzu... Para sa mga ticks that walked around the house, nag-spray lang ako ng Baygon sa mga gilid-gilid while my dog is outside para di nya malanghap.
Hope this helps! =) got this from woofland.multiply.com 1. AIDS IN DIGESTION/BOOSTS IMMUNITYApple cider vinegar can aid your dog's digestion and increase his appetite. It balances the ph levels of the body and helps to boost the immune system, as it inhibits the growth of unfriendly bacteria. If your dog suffers from constipation, diarrhea or stomach upset, apple cider vinegar can help to stabilize the elimination process.Many holistic Vets recommend a daily dosage of:• 1 tsp (5 ml) for cats and small dogs (up to 14 lb)• 2 tsp (10 ml) for medium dogs (15 to 34 lb)• 1 tbsp (15 ml) for large dogs (35 to 84 lb)2. EFFECTIVE EAR CLEANERFor sure, many of us have visited our vets because of common ear infections, but the good news is, we can always avoid this situation by establishing a weekly ear care routine for our pets.As mentioned in my previous WoofTip http://woofland.multiply.com/reviews/item/3, I use ACV to clean my dogs’ ears, mixed in equal parts with alcohol, as my cleaning mixture. I put 3-4 drops in their ear canal and massage their ears at the base. They will shake eventually and those deeply impacted dirt will loosen up. Voila, now I am ready to clean with my cotton ball. My pets do not have ear mites, but I have decided to use this as my ear cleaner. If you do not have acv and alcohol, you may also use vinegar and water mixed in equal parts.The vinegar helps control the growth of unfriendly bacteria and other microorganisms that are a common cause of ear infections, and as a result, this will help keep your pets from scratching their ears.The best part is this ear cleaner is inexpensive and natural!3. FLEA AND TICK KILLERApple cider vinegar can help get rid of fleas and keep them gone. If your dog has fleas, you can bathe him with your favorite pet shampoo and add the vinegar to the rinse water. The fleas will drown in the soapy water and the vinegar will help remove them from the fur. The ACV rinse will acidify your pet’s skin making it unpalatable to the nastiest ticks and fleas.To keep the unfriendly fleas and ticks at bay, I add ACV in their drinking water to acidify their skin.4. RELIEF FOR SKIN PROBLEMSIf your dog has itchy skin, the beginning of a hot spot, a developing callus, pimples on the skin surface and bruises too easily, the use of ACV may help you change things around.For itchy skin or beginning hot spots, put ACV into a spray bottle, part the hair and spray on, avoiding the eye area. Any skin eruption will dry up in 24 hours and will save you having to shave the dog. If the skin is already broken, dilute ACV with an equal amount of water and spray on.5. PREVENTS ARTHRITISIf your dog suffers from the pain of arthritis apple cider vinegar can help ease the discomfort. It breaks down the calcium deposits that develop in joints causing pain and stiffness. Apple cider vinegar also replaces depleted potassium levels being a good source of easily absorbable potassium. It can also be beneficial for dogs that suffer from hip dysplasia.6. PREVENTION AND TREATMENTApple cider vinegar can be used to treat certain ailments like sore joints, muscle weakness, cough and runny nose, and also as a preventive measure to keep your pets healthy. Among its many benefits, it also helps prevent tooth decay, tear stains and the development of kidney and bladder stones.
