I need a natural holistic method for getting rid of intestinal worms and fleas in dogs?

Question

Please do not answer and advise me to use Advantage or advantick or any such drops on her neck. I have a German Shepherd, 8 years, and she has constant worms. The deworming medicine (oral) my Vet gives doesn't work. (Strongid-t). because of reinfestation with fleas. We try to keep the fleas under control (it is quite a battle), and she does not get a lot of exposure to other animal feces, but somehow she is reinfecting herself. Maybe weakened immunity.

What do you think of diatomaceus earth, or claendula flowers or wild chrysanthemum flowers added to her food? Tr
I feed her a diet of various raw and poached meats and grated carrots and sometimes beets and and and flax seeds (pulverized) and Dolomite, and vit B's and fish oils and MSM.
But still worms. I tried garlic-no luck.

Battling the fleas is very time consuming. I recently discovered that liquid Ivory soap baths kills them dead, but I have to shampoo her every week, because she picks them up when I walk her in Miami

Answer 1

I am not sure about a natural alternative for parasites. I know of a product that is meant for humans called Paratrex. This product does contain Diatomaceus Earth. I have a few friends that have them Diatomaceus Earth. I would also try using a Holistic Vet and there website is http://www.ahvma.org/.

My friends have also given them the Paratrex in a reduced dosage.

I think it's sand fleas down in Miami and those are hardest to get rid of. Ok, well to keep your girl's skin from drying out, use baby soap or shampoo. It's great for her skin and coat, and it's non-toxic to them. It has the added bonus of working just like an Ivory bath, just without taking the natural protective oils from her skin and fur. That should help with the fleas, too. As for worms, try a pinch (very small, mind you!) of tobacco flakes on her food. Should clear them right up. However, before doing so, PLEASE consult with a vet about homeopathic remedies for your pet.

Answer 4

Hello I am also very hesitant to feed my dogs poison even if its supposed to be safe. what i use is a natural product called Kocci Free from a company called Amber Technology the web address is http://www.parvaid.com/products.php. i have used their natural products constantly for infections and once i used their Parvaid product to help my girlfriend save one of her dogs that got the horrible parvo virus. we took him to the vet they charged us about 2,000 dollars for a one night stay and basically told us he was going to die. after some web research we found this product tried it out and with in about two days he was up and eating like if nothing had happened. i have a lot of faith on these people and i use their products often including their dewormer and heart worm formula. i think that this is the best product you can buy if you want a ready made product for your dog that is natural. and about the flea problem there is a natural herbal product at petco that i cant remember the name but i used it and it worked rather well. i hope this helps and keep your dog as happy as possible

Answer 5

I preface this message with "Please check with some of the holistic vets, first, as well as do your own research."



An effective herbal remedy to eliminate parasites in HUMANS (not sure about our canine friends) is liquid extracts of clove, black walnut and wormwood. Take 10 drops of each 2xs/day for one month, allowing existing parasites to be killed, as well as their eggs.



Good luck!

Answer 6

Try a meal of hot mustard (mixed with dry mustard powder and water) and raw or cooked liver put in a blender .

Answer 7

first of all u must tell us what the doctor/xray/scan has shown. in such cases u must give full details, we are all friends and not doctors and narrate our experiences, which may not be applicable if u go deeper in to derails. how ever tell us is your job more of 'sitting'? u must change your posture, your back must have proper rest, sit comfortably and without feeling tense about the work

Answer 8

I use an oil called di-tone and parafree. EXCELLENT! Email me if you would like more information....
